Ranges are what DFW shops actually advertise, not a promise of an offer. What you get depends on your certs, your truck, your license, and how you interview. I'll tell you the pay before you take time off to go see anybody.

The problem

Both sides of this are looking for each other and neither one can see across the street

A shop posts a service opening and gets forty applications. Thirty-eight are from people who have never pulled a permit, bent a conduit, or touched a set of gauges. The seat stays empty, the truck stays parked, and the work goes down the street to somebody who's staffed.

Meanwhile there's a tech twenty minutes away carrying his shop on his back, making the same money he made three years ago. He isn't applying anywhere, because he already tried that — uploaded a resume, answered the same eleven questions, never heard back from a human being.

Job boards only show you people who are actively looking. The tech a shop actually wants is working right now for somebody who underpays him. He's not on Indeed. He's on a roof in August, and the only way to reach him is for someone to pick up the phone and go get him.

That's the whole job. I talk to techs and shop owners around DFW all day, so when I call about a seat I already know what it pays, whether the truck goes home, and who you'd be working for.

Posting the job
40
Applications, and two of them are real. Weeks of screening, a seat sitting empty the whole time, and the good techs never see the ad because they aren't looking at ads.
The other way
2–3
Screened techs for one opening. Certs verified, they already know the pay and said it works, and they can get to your shop. You interview and pick, or you pass and owe nothing.
For techs

Get paid what you're actually worth.

STEP 01
Fill out the form
Two minutes. Your trade, your certs, what you make now, and what it'd take to move. No SSN, no date of birth, no address — that's the shop's paperwork after an offer, not mine.
2 minutes · Free
STEP 02
I call shops for you
Your name doesn't go anywhere until you tell me it's okay. I find out what the seat pays, whether the truck goes home, and how many calls a day their guys run — before you ever hear the shop's name.
Nothing sent without your okay
STEP 03
You talk to the ones worth it
You'll know the pay before you burn a day off going to an interview. And if I've got nothing for you this week, I'll text you that instead of going quiet.
No promises, ever

It costs you nothing. Not now, not when you start, not ever. The shop pays the fee. Anybody in the trades asking a tech for money to find him a job is running a scam — walk away from them.

You'll hear back today
Form or text, same day. That's the whole reason people use me instead of a job board.
The pay, before the interview
Rate, hours, whether the truck goes home, and whether there's insurance. Up front, not after.
Your current shop never finds out
Nothing goes out with your name on it until you say go. No blind resume blasts.
Straight answers if you're early
Green and just out of school? I'll tell you so, and tell you the actual path in instead of stringing you along.
For shops

Stop parking trucks.

STEP 01
Tell me the role and the pay
One phone call, ten minutes. What it pays, how long it's been open, whether the truck goes home, how many trucks you run. That's everything I need to go find the guy.
10 minutes · No pitch
STEP 02
I bring you screened techs
A couple of people for one opening, not a stack of resumes. Certs verified, and I've already confirmed your pay range works for them, so nobody wastes a morning.
Certs verified
STEP 03
You interview and hire
Pick one, or pass on all of them and owe nothing. The fee is earned the day your new tech starts — not when I send him, not when you interview him.
Pay only when he starts

Who I work with

Narrow on purpose

DFW
Dallas–Fort Worth and the towns around it. I don't work Houston, and I don't pretend to.
3 trades
HVAC and refrigeration, electrical, plumbing. Service, install, and journeyman-level seats, residential and commercial.
W-2 seats
Real employment with a shop. Not 1099 sub crews and not day labor.
On a truck
Techs with field time, not classroom time. If you're green I'll say so and tell you the way in.
Nour Oumran, TradeFill

I'm Nour, and TradeFill is just me — no call center, no offshore team blasting your inbox. I spend my days talking to techs and shop owners around DFW, which means when I call you about a job, I already know what it pays and who you'd be working for.

I only get paid when a tech actually starts and sticks around. So sending the wrong person costs me more than it costs you — which is exactly why I'd rather tell you I've got nothing this week than send you somebody who isn't right.

FAQ

The questions I actually get

Indeed only shows you people who are actively looking. The tech you actually want is working right now for a shop that underpays him — he isn't applying anywhere, and he'll never see your ad. He's the guy I go get. If a job board was going to fill that seat, it would have filled it already.
For techs, nothing — not now, not ever. For shops, it's a flat fee per placement that depends on the role, agreed in writing before I send you anybody. No percentage of salary, no retainer, no monthly. What a truck brings in during one week usually covers it.
If he leaves or gets let go inside 30 days, I replace him free. One replacement per placement. It doesn't cover a layoff, a slowdown, or a role that changed out from under him after he took it — but if he just didn't work out, that's on me to fix and I fix it.
Yes, and it takes about thirty seconds. It's a one-page fee agreement that says what the fee is and when it's due. Nothing is owed unless you hire somebody I introduced you to. One signature covers every seat you ever fill through me, so you're not doing paperwork twice.
No. Your name and number don't go to anybody until you tell me it's okay, one shop at a time. I'll tell you the city, the pay, and what the work is before I ever tell you who it is — and if you say no, that's the end of it.
Honestly, usually not yet. Almost every shop I work with wants two years of actual field time, and school doesn't count toward it no matter what the school told you. The way in is a helper spot — HVAC install crews, an electrical apprenticeship, a plumbing helper seat. They take green guys and teach you on the truck. Buy your own hand tools before you go, because helpers with tools get paid a lot more than helpers without. Do a year of that and text me. You'd be a completely different candidate.
You'll hear from me the same day either way. How long it takes to fill a seat depends on the pay and the trade — a well-paid commercial service seat moves faster than one priced under the market, and I'll tell you straight if I think your number is the reason it's been open five weeks.
