The skilled trades screen your staffing team can run before the recruiter call

A structured first call helps your staffing team separate job-ready trades candidates from applicants who are missing certifications, tools, travel fit, or pay alignment.

Skilled trades roles punish vague screening. A candidate can be interested and still miss a certification, endorsement, tool requirement, travel expectation, or pay threshold that makes the placement impossible.

For your staffing team, Ava can ask those questions immediately and consistently. Recruiters still own the relationship and technical judgment, but they start with clean facts.

That turns the first recruiter conversation into a close-or-coach moment instead of a discovery call that could have happened automatically.

Main pain points
  • Certifications and endorsements are missed in generic screens.
  • Pay, travel, and tooling expectations can block placement late.
  • Recruiters lose time on candidates who are not job-ready.
What changes
  • License, certification, and experience questions are asked every time.
  • Recruiters can prioritize candidates who can start and pass the basics.
  • Clients get faster answers on hard-to-fill reqs.
