Post a role in minutes. AI screens every applicant for certifications, skills, and experience — and SMS outreach fills your shortlist. Built for employers hiring electricians, welders, HVAC techs, pipefitters, CDL drivers, and every skilled trade in between.
Every industry has its own certification vocab, screening criteria, and outreach patterns. HireForge knows the difference.
Matches on state journeyman/master licenses, OSHA 10/30, NEC code recency, and apprenticeship years.
Recognizes AWS D1.1, MIG/TIG/Stick, pipe welding certs, and CWI requirements by role type.
Filters on EPA 608 (Type I–IV), R-410A / R-454B fluency, NATE certs, and residential vs. commercial fit.
Screens for UA journeyman status, high-pressure/steam experience, and rigging qualifications.
Validates CDL class, HAZMAT/Tanker/Doubles endorsements, and DOT-relevant experience.
Screens for high-pressure welding, NBBI/NB-23 awareness, refinery and structural backgrounds.
Reads G-code, Mazak/Haas/DMG experience, tight tolerance work, and NIMS certification signals.
Pre-built templates tuned to each trade's phrasing, shift schedule, and pay-frame expectations.
Three steps. No resume review required.
Define the role, certs, location, and shift. HireForge builds a screening profile and posts it to your branded candidate portal instantly — no job-board fees.
Every application is scored on certifications, skills, experience, and location — and arrives at your dashboard ranked, with a plain-English AI summary.
Send SMS outreach to top candidates from your shortlist. Close in days, not months — because every person you call is already qualified.
What industrial hiring teams ask before they switch — and what we tell them.
Yes — and faster than you'd expect. HireForge routes applicants to your own proprietary candidate portal (no algorithm deprioritizing your listing), and our SMS outreach pipeline has open rates 5–7x higher than email in industrial recruiting. Every prior applicant, referral, and past walk-in is a shortcode text away from a fresh role.
Out of the box, HireForge recognizes the certifications that actually matter in the trades — AWS D1.1, EPA 608 (Type I–IV), NCCCO, OSHA 10/30, CDL A/B/C, journeyman licenses, NCCER, NATE, and NIMS — and how they map to your role's tiers and experience levels. See the trade-specific qualifier logic in action in our welding hiring guide and HVAC shortage playbook.
Free job-board posts are cheap until you stack the costs. The average industrial employer spends 4–6 hours manually screening applications per role — before the first interview. Industrial roles have a 45% annual turnover rate, so every seat you fill is also a seat you'll need to refill. HireForge plans run $99–$299/mo — cheaper than a single bad hire, and the AI screening alone recovers dozens of hours per role. You stop paying per-post fees, you stop paying recruiter retainers, and you keep your candidate pipeline in-house.
No contracts, no setup fees, no per-post charges. Try every feature — AI screening, SMS outreach, branded portal — and cancel before day 14 if it's not a fit.
