Your Talent Solution Across Every Sector
At Work With Your Handz, we recruit for skilled trades businesses across every ownership structure, growth stage, and operating environment. Whether you're a residential owner-operator, a PE-backed platform, a family office portfolio company, or a large commercial contractor — we understand your world and we know how to find the talent that fits it. Click through the sectors below to learn more about how we work with companies like yours.
Commercial
Commercial contractors operate in demanding environments — serving hospitals, universities, hotels, office buildings, and large-scale facilities where the margin for error is low and the bar for technical expertise is high. We recruit skilled trades professionals who are built for commercial-grade work, from journeyman technicians to project managers and branch leaders.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- Commercial HVAC/R Technicians and Installers
- Commercial Plumbers and Pipefitters
- Commercial Electricians Project Managers and Estimators
- Service Managers and Supervisors
- Branch Managers and Regional Leaders
Family Office
Family office-backed trades companies operate on a longer horizon than traditional PE — and they need a recruiting partner who understands that. We work with family office portfolio companies to place the operational leaders and field talent that support sustainable, long-term growth — without the pressure of a five-year exit timeline driving every decision.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- COOs and General Managers
- Operations and Field Leaders
- Service Technicians and Installers
- Support Staff and Office Teams
- Sales and Business Development
Industrial
Industrial environments demand a higher level of technical expertise, stricter safety standards, and candidates with real experience in complex operating environments. We recruit for industrial contractors, manufacturing facilities, and hybrid commercial-industrial operations — with a proven track record placing journeyman electricians and skilled tradespeople where the work is most demanding.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- Journeyman and Master Electricians
- Industrial Maintenance Technicians
- Pipefitters and Steamfitters
- Mechanical and HVAC/R Technicians
- Maintenance Supervisors and Foremen
- Plant Operations and Facilities Managers
Multi-location Operators
Scaling across multiple locations — whether organically or through a franchise model — creates hiring complexity that single-location operators never face. You need consistent talent across markets, leaders who can run a location independently, and a recruiting partner who understands what it takes to staff a growing operation without losing quality or speed.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- Location and Branch Managers
- Service Managers and Team Leaders
- Field Technicians and Installers
- CSRs and Dispatchers
- Regional Directors and Operations Leaders
Private Equity
PE-backed trades platforms need a recruiting partner who understands the pace and pressure of the investment cycle. We work with PE firms and their portfolio companies to build recruiting programs that scale with the platform — supporting post-acquisition integration, rapid team building, and the leadership placements that drive operational performance and EBITDA growth.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- COOs, VPs, and Senior Operations Leaders
- Platform and Portfolio Company GMs Field Technicians and Installers at Scale
- Service Managers and Branch Leaders RPO and Embedded Recruiting for High-Volume Hiring
Residential
Residential home services is where Work With Your Handz was built — and where our network and expertise run deepest. We've spent years recruiting for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and related trades businesses, learning what great talent looks like in this environment and building the relationships that give our clients access to candidates they can't find anywhere else.
Key Roles We Recruit For:
- HVAC/R, Plumbing, and Electrical Technicians
- In-Home Sales Consultants and Comfort Advisors
- CSRs and Dispatchers
- Service Managers and Operations Leaders
- General Managers and Executive Leadership
