Frequently asked questions
Why build a vertical-specific platform instead of using a generic ATS?
Generic recruitment tools don't understand HVAC-specific certifications, seasonal hiring patterns, or the technical skills required. Baking the industry knowledge in — certification tracking, trade-specific workflows — yields higher-quality candidate matches than a generic job board.
What technology stack powers ServicePro Recruit?
TypeScript and React on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, PostgreSQL for the candidate database, a background job queue for async messaging, SMS and WhatsApp API integrations, and Docker for deployment.
What is "bench building"?
A feature for proactively nurturing relationships with passive candidates — keeping them warm through automated SMS and WhatsApp touches so when a requisition opens, you already have qualified technicians ready to move.
How does multi-channel outreach work?
Recruiters launch automated SMS and WhatsApp sequences from the dashboard. The job queue fans out messages, handles retries, and logs responses back to the candidate's profile for a unified conversation history.
Is ServicePro Recruit suitable for volume placement agencies?
Yes — the platform supports volume placement packages and throughput tracking, letting agency-style operators manage high-cadence placements without losing candidate-level detail.
