Monthly salaries run roughly $600–$1,800 depending on the role and country, paid directly by you with no markup from us. Placement is a flat fee from $1,995 per search rather than the 25–35% of first-year salary that's standard in this market.

Do you know this industry, or is this generic?

We publish the specific tools, tasks and failure modes for each industry rather than a find-and-replace of a generic page — for construction and trades that means Jobber or ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, supplier portals.
