We only recruit for the trades.
HVAC. Electrical. Plumbing. Roofing. Construction. Landscaping. Fire protection. Paving. Flooring. Painting. Specialization compounds — we know the work, the credentials, and the candidate pool.
We build pipelines, not placements.
The best foremen and project managers aren't on job boards. We maintain ongoing relationships with vetted candidates so when your seat opens, the shortlist already exists.
We charge a flat monthly fee.
No percentage of salary. No surprise invoices. No penalty for hiring well. The cost is predictable from day one — and the savings get bigger the more senior the hire.
Built for the commercial trades.
We focus exclusively on ten verticals — and we know each one cold. Click any industry to see the positions we recruit for and the talent strategy we use to win them.
We're not a typical recruiting firm.
Most recruiters get paid every time someone quits. The model rewards turnover. We don't think that's a fair deal for the contractor paying the bill.
We charge a predictable flat monthly rate, build a pipeline of vetted talent in your market before you need it, and partner with you over time instead of transactionally. The result is faster fills, better hires, and a recruiting spend that doesn't penalize you for hiring well.

Trusted by trades leaders nationwide.
I had a very positive experience working with Abstrakt Talent Solutions. The team was professional, responsive, and took the time to understand the role we were hiring for and the type of candidate we were looking to attract. I especially appreciated their willingness to schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss the position in detail and answer questions throughout the process. Their communication was consistent, and they were easy to work with from start to finish. I would recommend them to companies looking for a reliable recruiting partner.
In today's competitive labor market, finding qualified people has become more challenging. Talent Solutions has helped us grow at a pace we couldn't have hit on our own.
Together, we've explored and committed to a relational working partnership that is growing our businesses. For that, I am grateful.
Common hiring questions.
A few of the things contractors ask before they sign on. Full list on the FAQ page.
What does "flat-rate" really mean?
One predictable monthly fee — the same whether you hire a $60,000 service technician or a $130,000 project manager. No percentage of salary, no surprise invoices, no penalty for hiring well.
How is this different from a contingency recruiter?
Contingency recruiters charge 20–30% of salary per placement and rebuild the candidate pool from zero every time. We charge a flat monthly fee and maintain a continuous pipeline of vetted trades talent — so when your seat opens, the shortlist already exists.
How quickly can we start seeing candidates?
We start your search within 24 hours of kickoff. Most partners begin reviewing the first qualified submittals within their first two weeks.
What industries do you specialize in?
Ten commercial trades verticals: HVAC & Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Roofing, Construction, Landscaping, Fire Protection, Paving, Flooring, and Painting. We don't recruit outside the trades — specialization compounds.
Are there any setup or add-on fees?
No. There are no setup costs. Your monthly fee covers the full end-to-end recruitment process — job posting, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and background checks.
Every hire from zero is a tax on your team.
Every week a seat sits open, the rest of your people are covering for it. Every contingency fee you pay is money that didn't go toward growth. There's a better model. Let's build your pipeline.
