A smarter way to hire skilled talent
Ready to hire skilled talent? Schedule a quick call with Connect Skilled. On the call, we will learn about your hiring needs, answer questions, and explain how our direct-hire recruiting subscription works.
Our four-step hiring process
From the moment you contact us in Madison, Wisconsin, to your new hire's first day, we handle the heavy lifting. With our subscription model, the process does not stop after one hire—you can continue sending openings and hire as many qualified candidates as you need.
1. Discovery & hiring needs
We start with a quick conversation to understand your open roles, requirements, company culture, pay, schedule, and what a strong hire looks like for your team.
2. Sourcing & screening
We actively recruit qualified candidates, screening them thoroughly for hands-on experience, equipment proficiency, availability, and compensation expectations before presenting them to you.
3. Interviews & selection
You review only the best candidate profiles. We help coordinate interviews, collect feedback, keep momentum going, and support you through direct-hire offers and onboarding starts.
Fewer résumés, better candidates, less wasted time
We do the recruiting so you can focus on running your business. Instead of posting a job and hoping the right person applies, Connect Skilled actively searches for, engages, and screens experienced skilled-trades professionals—including passive talent not actively searching job boards.
Rigorous candidate screening
We use a structured screening process to ensure you only meet individuals who match your exact criteria. We verify hands-on experience, equipment and processes used, certifications or licenses, work history, availability, compensation expectations, and overall cultural fit. For technical positions, we ask role-specific questions and coordinate practical skills assessments when required to significantly reduce your hiring risk.
Predictable subscription recruiting
With our monthly recruiting subscription, your company can fill multiple positions and make unlimited direct hires without paying high percentage placement fees on every hire. You gain proactive headhunting, deep candidate vetting, and complete interview management for a predictable monthly investment.
