Hiring for trades and construction businesses, without office work
In a small trades or construction business the owner works in the workshop or on site, not in an office. And a good tradesperson does not wait days for an answer. HRAtan helps keep applicant handling from eating into working time.
Who is it for?
Electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, carpenters, painters, roofers, car mechanics and construction businesses looking for skilled workers, helpers or apprentices, without a separate HR person.
For these roles people often apply with a short, simple CV or from their phone. In HRAtan applying works this way too.
How does HRAtan help?
- Applying without registration, also from a phone: a name, an email address and a CV are enough.
- All applicants in one list with an AI profile: professional skills, experience and a match score.
- Decide with a swipe, in an interface that also works on a phone; every decision can be undone.
- Forward to the foreman or co-owner with one click and a note.
- Share on the company’s Facebook page: the ready post text is copied to the clipboard, and Facebook’s share window opens with the job link.
Where applicants look
Published jobs have their own public page that search engines (for example Google for Jobs) can read. On a paid plan your jobs can also go into job board feeds (for example Jooble, Careerjet, Talent.com). You can use a separate tracking link per channel and see where good applicants come from.
What HRAtan does not do
HRAtan is an applicant tracking system: it is not payroll software, not a staffing agency, and it does not handle apprenticeship contract administration. The database is in the EU, in Frankfurt. This is information, not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on a phone?
Yes. Both applying and screening applicants work on a phone, in the browser.
Can I look for apprentices with it?
Yes, an apprenticeship can be published as a job with its own public page. HRAtan does not handle apprenticeship contract administration.
Do I need a card to try it?
No. No card is needed for the trial; current prices are on the Pricing and plans page.
