THE PROCESS

How RecruitFlow finds and vets your next hire.

STEP 01

Job posting across 6+ platforms

We post your role on Seek, Indeed, Jora, Gumtree, Facebook Jobs, and industry-specific boards. Targeted to your location (Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth) and specific cleaning vertical (commercial offices, medical, hospitality, education, strata). Average: 40-80 applicants per role within 72 hours.

STEP 02

AI initial screening (eliminates 60-70%)

Every applicant goes through AI phone screening via Vapi. 5-minute call asks: availability, experience level, transport/license, salary expectations, right to work. Applicants who don't meet basic requirements are auto-rejected with explanation. You never see them.

STEP 03

Skills assessment & police check

Remaining candidates (typically 12-20) complete: (1) Cleaning knowledge test (equipment, chemicals, safety protocols), (2) Scenario-based questions (handling complaints, time management), (3) Police check authorization — we cover the cost. Only candidates who pass all 3 advance.

STEP 04

Reference verification (automated)

AI calls 2 references per candidate with structured questions: reliability, quality of work, reason for leaving, would you rehire? References are verified as real employers, not friends or family. Candidates with poor references are filtered out. Top 3-5 finalists emerge.

STEP 05

You interview top 3 finalists

We present 3 fully vetted candidates with complete profiles: resume, skills test scores, reference summaries, police check status, availability. You conduct final interviews (in-person or video). Choose your hire. Average time from job posting to finalists ready: 14 days.

STEP 06

30-day fit guarantee

If your hire doesn't work out in the first 30 days (performance issues, attendance, culture fit), we replace them for free. New search, new vetting, new finalists. You don't pay twice. Most clients don't need replacements — our vetting process has 92% retention past 90 days.

Stop wasting weeks on bad hires.

Without RecruitFlow

Posting on Seek/Indeed yourself: 40+ applicants, 90% unqualified (no experience, no transport, unrealistic salary expectations)
Screening calls: 2-3 hours on the phone with people who ghost after one shift
Recruitment agencies: $6K-8K per hire, 3-4 week process, they send 3 candidates and disappear
Reference checks: candidates give their mate's number, you call, waste of time
Bad hires: 1 in 3 quit within the first month, you start over from scratch
Time cost: 20-30 hours of your time to hire one person (posting, screening, interviewing, references)

With RecruitFlow

Multi-platform posting: 40-80 applicants within 72 hours, all locations and verticals covered
AI screens everyone: 60-70% eliminated automatically (no transport, wrong experience, salary mismatch)
Skills testing: only candidates who know cleaning equipment, chemicals, and safety protocols advance
Real reference checks: AI calls references, verifies they're real employers, filters out poor performers
You interview 3 vetted finalists: complete profiles, police checks done, references verified
30-day guarantee: if they don't work out, we replace them free — 92% retention past 90 days
$699 per hire vs $6K-8K agency fee: 90% cost savings
