Pick your lane
Same pipeline. Only choice: who drives.
For HVAC Shop Owners
THE TRUCK
SITS EMPTY.
WE FILL IT.
We hand you interview-ready techs — screened on video, scored, and ranked. You pay nothing until you unlock someone worth interviewing.
If nobody worth interviewing applies, you pay nothing. That’s the guarantee.
Your road to hired.
One destination — a tech in your truck. Two ways to get there.
You are here ↓
Expressway — we drive
We post + screen. You just interview.
Service road — you drive
You check candidates as they come.

What happens next.
From this page to candidates in three moves.
01
Pick your questions
2 minutes, right here on this page. The highest-converting questions come pre-selected.
02
We launch your pipeline
We confirm your criteria, launch your pipeline, and hand you the launch kit — straight from your answers above. No long call to sit through.
03
Candidates start arriving
Most shops see applicants in the first week. You unlock the ones worth interviewing.
Only 5 pilot shops.
White-glove setup, a direct line to us, and founding pricing locked in. We keep it small so every shop gets a clean launch — when the slots are full, there’s a waitlist.
Straight answers.
No long contract pitch. Here’s what shop owners usually ask before they start.
Where do the applicants come from?
Your own channels — your trucks, your Facebook page, and free job posts. We make those channels convert better and screen everything that comes in.
What if nobody good applies?
On The Machine: then you pay nothing — that’s the deal. On Done-For-You: that’s what the 7-day free trial is for. If the pipeline isn’t producing, cancel before day 8 and you’ve paid nothing.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one. We only make money when you unlock a candidate — so we’re motivated to send you people worth unlocking. Our incentives point the same direction as yours.
How is this different from a recruiter?
A recruiter charges 15–25% of first-year salary — $7,500 or more per hire. You pay $100 only when you choose to unlock someone worth interviewing. Same outcome, no $7,500 invoice.
How fast do I get candidates?
Your pipeline goes live in days. Most shops see applicants in the first week.
What do you need from me?
About 2 minutes right now — pick your screening questions, set your must-haves, and add anything special. Then we confirm it all and launch your pipeline — no long call to sit through.
What counts as worth interviewing?
We agree on the criteria together during setup — experience, certifications, availability, and the few must-haves for your role. Only candidates who clear it reach your dashboard.
Is my business and candidate data private?
Yes. Our operation runs on Meta’s Muse platform, which uses a confidential virtual machine built with the founder of Signal — designed so that even Meta can’t read the content inside it, and that protection can be technically verified. We work on least-privilege access: the system only touches what it needs to do the job, and your data stays yours.
What is the cheapest way to hire an HVAC technician?
Posting the job yourself is free, but you pay in time — sorting unqualified applicants and playing phone tag. A recruiter removes the work but charges 15–25% of first-year salary, $7,500 or more per hire. Your Hiring Machine is the middle path: $0 to start, and $100 only when you unlock a candidate who has already passed a video screening against your must-haves. Nobody worth interviewing means you pay nothing.
How is this different from posting on Indeed?
Indeed is a billboard — it shows your post and hands you every raw application. Your Hiring Machine posts across 10+ job boards and then does the part Indeed doesn’t: every applicant flows into a private video screening, gets scored and ranked against your criteria, and you only see the candidates worth interviewing. Job boards are the billboard; the screening is the door.
What is an AI video interview, and how does it work here?
Instead of trading resumes and phone tag, every applicant completes an AI video interview — they record video answers to your screening questions, on their own time. Each interview is scored and ranked against the must-haves we set with you: experience, certifications, availability. Your dashboard only shows candidates worth interviewing, and you unlock the full profile and complete video for $100 only when you want to meet them. It’s AI hiring built for HVAC and home-service shops that hire 3–10 people a year.
Stop reading resumes. Start watching candidates.
