HVAC hiring is a seasonality problem wearing a labor-shortage costume. Every spring, every shop in your market fights over the same certified techs at the same time — and pays job boards a premium for the privilege. The companies that win aren't recruiting harder in May; they built the pipeline in February.

Off-season bench building

Recruit in February. Deploy in June.

Your internal database is the cheapest tech you'll ever hire. RecruiterPM keeps every past applicant, every silver-medalist, and every referral in a searchable database — then re-engages them with automated email and SMS drips before the season turns. When the first 95° week hits, you're texting a warm list, not posting a cold ad.

Every applicant from every season saved and searchable forever
Automated re-engagement drips wake the bench up before peak
SMS campaigns get replies from techs who never check email

Certification-aware screening

EPA 608, NATE, refrigerant experience — screened automatically

Knockout questions on every posting check for EPA 608 certification, refrigerant handling experience, driver's license, and territory before a recruiter ever opens the application. Qualified techs auto-advance to scheduling; unqualified applicants get a polite decline. Your pipeline only shows people you can actually put in a truck.
