Why Plumbing Companies Struggle to Find Good People
The candidates you need aren't browsing job boards — they're already working. Most business owners and managers don't have the time to invite qualified candidates to apply every day like we do.
The Talent Pool is Shrinking
Experienced plumbers are retiring faster than new ones are entering the trade. The shortage is real and it's getting worse.
Licensing Filters Out Fast
State certifications and experience requirements cut the qualified pool dramatically — and screening for them yourself wastes hours.
Seasonality Breaks Your Timeline
You need people before peak season hits, not during it. By the time you're scrambling, you're already behind.
Culture Mismatch Kills Retention
The wrong attitude in a customer's home costs you more than a bad hire — it costs you the customer.
Job Boards Aren't Enough
Posting and waiting rarely produces qualified applicants. The best candidates have to be found, not waited on.
Long Hiring Cycles Slow Everything Down
Every week a role sits open is a week your team is overworked, your leads are underserved, and your growth is stalled.
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.

How We Work
Most recruiting firms hand you a stack of resumes and call it a day.
That's not recruiting — that's searching. We do the work most owners don't have time for, and we do it the way we'd want someone to do it for us.
Technician Psychology
We understand what motivates field techs — how they think, what they value, and what makes them stay. That knowledge shapes every candidate we evaluate.
Compensation Structure
From flat-rate to hourly to performance pay, we know how trades compensation works — so we attract candidates who are aligned before the first conversation.
Dispatch & Call Center Operations
We know how the back office runs. That means we can recruit for CSRs, dispatchers, and call center roles with the same precision as field positions.
Sales & Tech Roles
From in-home sales reps to service managers who close — we recruit across the full revenue-generating side of a home service business.
We Know The Trades
Our founder has worked in leadership inside home service companies. We're not learning your industry — we already know what's required in the field.
Retention, Not Just Placement
We match for culture and values, not just credentials. Hires who stay are worth more than hires who fit the job description and leave in 90 days.
Flat-Rate, No Surprises.
No commission-based fees that inflate when you hire well. You know the cost upfront, and it doesn't change based on the candidate's salary.
