The process

How we place you

01

Send us your info

Email work@bravotalent.com with your trade, certifications, years of experience, preferred location, and what kind of role you're looking for — direct hire, temp-to-hire, or contract. No resume required to start. A one-paragraph description of what you do is enough.

02

We verify your credentials

We confirm your licenses, certifications, and work history before introducing you to any employer. This protects you — our employer clients trust our candidates, which means you walk in with credibility already established. We don't skip this step.

03

We match — you choose

We match you to employers whose work type, pay range, and culture fit what you told us you're looking for. We brief you on the role before any interview — no surprises. You decide whether to move forward. We don't pressure placements that aren't the right fit.

04

You start — we follow up

After placement, we check in at 30 and 60 days — not to micromanage, but to make sure the job is what was described. If something's off, we advocate for you. Our 90-day retention guarantee exists because we get it right the first time, not because we're hoping you'll stick it out.

Common questions

What tradespeople ask us

Straight answers. No recruiter-speak.

Still have questions? Submit your profile →
Q

Do I have to pay anything?

Never. We're paid by employers, not candidates. Our service is 100% free to tradespeople — always.

Q

What if I'm already employed?

That's fine and very common. We'll have a confidential conversation about what a better opportunity looks like for you. Nothing moves forward without your go-ahead, and we never contact your current employer.

Q

Do I need a formal resume?

No. You need your trade, your certifications, years of experience, and what you're looking for. A paragraph works. We'll build the rest from our conversation.

Q

How long does it typically take?

We get back to you within 48 hours. When there's a live opening that matches, interviews can happen that same week. For specialized roles, it may take a few weeks to find the right employer.

Q

Will you send my info to employers without telling me?

No. We get your explicit permission before introducing you to any employer — every time. Your contact information stays private until you say yes to a specific opportunity.

Q

What if the job doesn't work out?

We follow up at 30 and 60 days after placement. If something's off — the job description didn't match reality, the site conditions weren't what was described — we'll advocate for you. Our 90-day guarantee isn't just for employers.

Why Bravo

We respect the craft

Most staffing agencies treat trades workers as interchangeable. We don't. We know the difference between a journeyman and an apprentice, between a tig welder and a stick welder, between a commercial HVAC tech and a residential one.

We match you with employers who understand what you do — and pay accordingly.

No lowball offers

We only present roles that match your stated pay requirements. We don't waste your time.

Honest job descriptions

What the employer tells us is what we tell you. No bait-and-switch on scope, site location, or start date.

No pressure placements

We make money when you succeed — not just when you start. We'd rather wait for the right fit.

Your information stays private

We don't share your resume or contact info without your explicit go-ahead for each employer.

Fast — but not sloppy

Typical match within 48 hours. We move fast because we know a job site running short-handed is a real problem.
