Where Are You Finding Your Best W-2 Cleaning Technicians ? (Beyond Indeed & Facebook)

Hey everyone, Rafael here, running a residential cleaning operation in McKinney & Allen, TX.

Hiring reliable cleaning technicians is one of our biggest bottlenecks right now and I'd love to hear what's working for others in the community.
We've been using Indeed and local Facebook Groups, but I have receive few number of people interested. 

A few things I'm curious about:
1. Are there platforms or channels you've had real success with for recruiting cleaners?
2. Do you run any employee referral programs to source new hires through your existing team?
3. Has anyone had luck with church networks, community boards, or local platforms in their market?

Any tips?

Would love to hear what's actually working in your market.
Thanks in advance!
Rafael Andrade

    Hey Rafael, another cleaning business owner here!

    We have always had luck with Indeed, but have a recruiting company manage the application process (HireBus specifically)- it dives a little deeper than the traditional Indeed app/resumé route. We have also used WootRecruit in the past as well.

    we do have an employee referral program, but the general consensus is our technicians don’t want to risk recruiting an unreliable employee (I can appreciate that). My longest-standing employees have been referrals from previous employees.

    Outside of these, we have used Facebook local job postings- these don’t always bring in the best candidates, or they don’t qualify. I do believe we have 2/26 employees who did find us this way.

    best of luck!
