What We Do

What Is an Electrical Recruiting Agency?

An electrical recruiting agency is a recruiting partner that specializes in sourcing and vetting licensed electrical talent — journeymen, masters, apprentices, and service managers — so contractors can hire electricians who are experienced and worth a closer look, not just available.

Trustal works exclusively in the trades. We ask about experience and hours before you see anyone, reach electricians who aren’t actively applying, and handle first-round interviews so you only meet people worth your time.

The Hiring Problem

Why Electrical Companies Struggle to Find Good People

The electricians you need aren't browsing job boards — they're already working. And the ones who are available don't always stay.

01.

Shrinking Talent Pool

Electricians Are Retiring Faster Than They're Replaced

Experienced electricians are aging out, and too few apprentices are coming up behind them. Nearly 30% of the electrical workforce is at or near retirement age, widening a gap that gets harder to close every year.

02.

Credential Barrier

Licensing Cuts the Pool to a Fraction

Most states require thousands of supervised hours plus a passing exam before an electrician can work unsupervised. The moment you need a licensed journeyman, master, or specialty credential, your real pool drops to a fraction of the electricians in your area, and checking it yourself eats hours.

03.

Turnover, Not Growth

More Openings Come From Turnover, Not Growth

The role you’re filling is one most shops in your market are chasing too. The BLS projects about 81,000 electrician openings every year through 2034, and many come from replacing workers who retire or leave the field — not from expansion.

04.

Surging Demand

Demand Is Surging Faster Than the Workforce

Electrification — EV charging, data centers, solar tie-ins — is driving demand up while the workforce lags. Electrician employment is projected to grow 9% through 2034, faster than the average occupation, intensifying competition for every qualified hire.

05.

Passive Candidates

The Best Electricians Aren't Applying

Top electricians are already employed — not browsing job boards. The challenge was never volume; it’s finding licensed pros who fit your crew and actually show up. They have to be found through direct outreach.

06.

Hiring Risk

A Bad Hire Costs More Than an Empty Seat

Bad electrical work isn't just a callback, it's a code violation, a safety hazard, or a damaged customer relationship. Beyond the resume, we look at a candidate's track record on craftsmanship and how they've handled themselves in customers' homes, so you can make a more informed call.

How We Compare

Electrical Recruiter vs. Job Boards vs. General Staffing

When licensed electricians are this scarce, a job post won't cut it. Here's how a specialized electrical recruiter compares to the alternatives.

How We Compare	Job Boards (e.g. Indeed)	General recruiting agency	Trustal (Specialized Trades Recruiting)
Reaches roofers who aren’t job-hunting	No — only active applicants	Sometimes, works its existing database & network	Yes — direct outreach to working roofers
Asks about experience & safety background	You do all the vetting	General background & reference screening	Experience and safety details collected before shortlist
Understands roofing & OSHA realities	No	Generalist across many industries, not trade-specific	20+ years inside home services
Handles first-round interviews	No	Varies by agency	Every candidate video-interviewed first
Best fit for	Posting a role and sorting applicants	Role-by-role or temporary fills	Career roofing hires more likely to stay
Pricing model	Pay per post, no placement included	Varies by agency	Flat-rate, no commission games
Focus on retention & culture fit	Not its function	Varies by agency	Matched for culture and standards

The Difference

Electrical Recruiting Built From the Inside Out

We're not a general recruiting firm that learned the trades from a job description. With over 20 years inside home service companies, we know what's required before your first call with us.

We Only Work in the Trades — and That's Intentional

Our focus on the skilled trades means we know your world — the licensing requirements, the safety standards, the project pace — before your first call with us.

Electrician Standing in Customers Kitchen

We Go After Electricians Who Aren't Looking

The best electricians are already employed. We use direct outreach to find and approach passive candidates who wouldn't have applied to your posting.

Electrical Credentials Asked About Up Front

Licenses, state certifications, and trade experience are asked about before a candidate reaches your shortlist — not after.

Culture Fit Matters as Much as Credentials

A bad attitude on a job site or in a customer's home costs more than a gap in the schedule. We evaluate how someone carries themselves, not just what's on their resume.

We Handle First-Round Interviews So You Don't Have To

Every electrical candidate has been through a video interview with our team before they reach your calendar. You only meet people who have cleared a video interview.

Flat-Rate Pricing, No Large Commission Payouts

You know the cost before we start. It doesn't change based on who we place or what they earn. No surprises at the finish line.

A Note From Our Founder

Meghan founded Trustal Recruiting after decades of working inside and alongside leading home service companies. Over the years, she saw firsthand how growth often stalls when good businesses simply can't find good people. The marketing may be working and the phones may be ringing, but without the right team in place, progress slows. Instead of stepping back, she decided to create a recruiting solution specifically designed for home service companies.

Today, Trustal helps small and mid-sized locally owned businesses grow by connecting them with dependable, skilled people who strengthen their teams. Meghan understands this industry because she's lived it — it's fast-paced, hands-on, and built around serving customers well. Her mission is simple: help great companies find great people so they can continue building something lasting.
