Your installed base is growing.
Your service team is not.
We build you a recruiting system for regional service technicians that belongs to you from day one – including careers page, channel and pre-selection.
No obligation – no lock-in contract
Compressor, pump and valve manufacturers live off the installed base. Maintenance contracts are the backbone, not the accessory – and every new contract assumes somebody is there to fulfil it. That is where sales and staffing meet: an unfilled regional technician is not an HR topic, it is a ceiling on revenue.
This segment holds an advantage it almost never plays. Regional technicians work decentrally, often from home, with a company vehicle and without daily presence at the plant. For a technician tired of assembly trips and hotel weeks, that is exactly the offer they are looking for. It appears in no job ad – what appears there is the company history.
We reverse that. And we build the route to the candidate once, as a system, instead of hiring an agency again at every vacancy: role profile, own careers page, channel to the passively open, 72-hour rhythm, pre-selection on your criteria, handover. After that you hire yourself.
One application. Answered the same day.
A technician applies in the evening after their shift – and usually not only to you. Whoever answers first gets the interview. That is not a service promise, it is the selection mechanism of this market.
First application within 72 hours.
Then a fixed rhythm: every application answered the same day – even when the service manager is at a customer site or on holiday. The process and the templates belong to your company from day one.
- Answers in minutes, not days – evenings and weekends included
- Asks the points your service manager defined
- Mr Aydin
Your posting for a material handling service technician – is night work the rule or the exception?
- Blacklyne
Good evening! Roughly one week in four involves night work at a distribution centre, with a premium and time off in lieu. The rest runs on days. Do you have experience with drives and controls?
< 3 s - Mr Aydin
Yes, five years maintaining sorting systems, qualified electrician.
- Blacklyne
Excellent. Monday 15:00 is free for a first conversation – shall I hold it?
< 4 s
Every route. One entry point.
Careers page, ad, message, callback – all in one place, on your access and with your data. No agency inbox you have to have candidates forwarded from.
- One entry point instead of five channels and three inboxes
- All applicant data stays with you – from day one
What keeps your roles open.
The bottlenecks in this segment – and why they rarely sit in the market.
The revenue ceiling is called service capacity
You could sell more maintenance contracts than you can fulfil. That is the most expensive form of the skills shortage because it appears in no cost centre – it shows up as sales growing more slowly than they could.
The best reason to switch goes unused
A regional technician role with a home base and a company car is a step up in quality of life for many service technicians. Leave that out of the first line and you compete on salary instead – exactly where the corporation wins.
Electrical and mechanical in one person is getting rarer
Pneumatics, hydraulics, electrics and increasingly controls in one head: that is the technician the refrigeration, drive and elevator sectors are also hunting. The pool is not divided within your industry, it is emptied across industries.
Temp staffing does not work under a maintenance contract
The customer wants the same technician who knows their equipment. A markup factor of 1.5 to 2.0 for an indefinite period is not the main problem – the main problem is that the person never belongs to your company.
6 percent are searching. a third would be open to an offer.
According to the EY job study 2025, a quarter of employees are actively looking and another third are open to an offer without searching. A job ad addresses the first 6 percent. The rest are reachable, just not where you advertise.
Every application is answered the same day.

The offer comes before the company history
Close to home, company vehicle, own territory, a predictable week. What makes your company attractive to a service technician goes at the very top – quantified, not as an adjective.
One system, several territories
Once the build is done, you extend it to the next territory without buying again. That is precisely the difference between a campaign and a system.
A guarantee on the hire, not on applications
If a committed role stays open, we keep working – at no further cost. We make no commitment on application counts; they are not a result.
The handover is the conclusion, not the start of an invoice
Access, templates, ad accounts, training. We are done when you can run it without us.
4 steps.
Live from day one.
First we check whether the role can be filled in your region. Then it goes out – advert, application route and campaign from us, under your name. First applications within 72 hours.
-
Feasibility check
Can the role be filled in your region, and is your area still open? We put in writing what “the right fit” means technically. We decline roles that cannot be filled – even when that means one engagement less.
-
We launch it
Role profile with travel radius and on-call, careers page on your domain, a 90-second application path, campaign in your region. We build it and switch it live – you approve it once. Every account runs under your name.
-
Applications
Then a fixed rhythm: every application answered the same day, pre-screened on your service manager’s criteria. You run interviews instead of sorting. If a committed role stays open, we keep working – at no further cost.
-
It stays live
Accounts, audiences, templates and applicant data keep running under your name – live, not a kit to learn. The next role takes minutes: type the title, tick the box, live. If you would rather hand it back to us, you can – but you do not have to.
Honest answers.
-
01 We hire two or three technicians a year. Is a system worth it?
Against placement fees, a system pays off from two technical roles a year. At two or three it is your call whether the independence is worth the build – we will tell you honestly in the first call if we do not think it is. -
02 Can we use the system for inside sales too?
For technical roles, yes. For commercial roles it is the wrong channel and the wrong message – there we advise against it rather than selling it to you. -
03 What if our region is already taken?
Then we say so in the first call and decline the engagement. One company per specialisation and area is not a scarcity tactic, it is the condition for not advertising against our own client. -
04 Who runs the system from day one?
We do – until the role is filled. After that everything keeps running without anyone on your side operating it: adverts, channel and pre-selection stay live. Your part is the interviews. The next role takes minutes: type the title, tick the box, live.
