FAQs

Why trust a new company?

Don't take our word for it. We're new, so here's the whole system, start to finish. And if you don't hire any of them, you get your money back.

Who pays the electrician?

You do. He's your employee from day one. No markup, no buyout.

How do I know he's really licensed?

We look up his license with the state while he's on the phone and send you the record with his candidate sheet.

Can he actually run service calls?

For service roles, an electrician screens him on the calls he's run on his own, and on how he talks to a homeowner. You see it on his sheet before you meet him.

Where do your electricians come from?

They come to WireHands to see what their license is worth. Ads run under our name, with the pay in them, near your job.

What if he takes the job and doesn't show Monday?

We call him the night before his start and again at day 7, 30 and 60.

Are you going to recruit my guys?

No. We don't recruit out of our clients' crews.

Who runs drug tests and background checks?

You do, under your policy. We confirm up front that he'll take them.

Can you find foremen?

Yes. They're the hardest seat, so expect fewer of them.

Where do you work?

Anywhere in the US. We recruit near your job or inside your service area, and for travel roles, wherever the electricians are.

What if my pay is under the market?

We'll tell you on the call. On travel roles it won't fill. On local roles it sometimes will.

What does it cost?

We go over that on the Zoom, once we know your roles and whether we can fill them.

What happens on the Zoom?

30 minutes. We go over the roles, the pay range and the start date, show you how it would run for your shop, and tell you straight if we can fill it.

Apply. If it's a fit, pick a time.

A few quick questions about your shop. If it's a fit, you'll see open times for a 30-minute Zoom: the roles, the pay range, the start date, and whether we can fill it.
