Construction and Skilled Trades Recruiting

Riderflex recruits construction and skilled trades talent for employers nationwide, from construction executives, project managers and superintendents to electricians, HVAC technicians, maintenance technicians and field service technicians. We are a Denver-based boutique recruiting firm founded in 2013, and we handle everything from one key leadership hire to volume hiring for crews.

What construction and skilled trades roles does Riderflex recruit?

Leadership: construction executives, general managers, operations managers and division leaders.
Project roles: project managers, superintendents, estimators, project engineers and safety managers.
Trades and technicians: electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, welders, maintenance technicians and field service technicians.

Why is it hard to hire skilled trades workers right now?

Demand for skilled trades is high, many experienced tradespeople are close to retirement, and fewer young workers are coming into the trades. Good technicians and superintendents are almost always employed, so posting a job and waiting rarely works. You have to go find them, and you have to move fast when you do.

Steve Urban talks about this on The Riderflex Podcast episode Skilled Trades Reign Supreme.

How does Riderflex recruit technicians?

We recruit the certified field technicians for Robo Reliance, the nationwide robot repair and field service company whose co-founders include Riderflex founders Steve Urban and Scott Kegerreis. That work keeps us in the technician market every week: sourcing, screening and placing hands-on people who work in the field without supervision.

For leadership roles, finalists are vetted through video interviews conducted by current C-level executives with 30+ years of operating experience, and every candidate is matched to how your company actually runs.

Can Riderflex fill one role or a whole crew?

Both. For a single leadership hire we run a search. When you have several roles open at once, Recruiting on Demand gives you Riderflex recruiters on an hourly basis, with no long-term contracts, no exclusivity and no hidden fees. You set the priorities and scale the hours up or down.
