Sound familiar?

It's 6am. You're one man down. Again.

6:00 AM

The client's walking the site in an hour. The joiner who swore he'd be there hasn't answered since Tuesday.

6:15 AM

Three WhatsApp groups. Two lads who owe you a favour. Maybe someone shows.

3 MONTHS LATER

Or you called an agency instead. You're still paying their invoice for a labourer who lasted eleven days.

Which one is you?

Either way, you're doing the recruiter's job yourself. On top of your own.

Why companies are done with agencies

Same problem, every agency: high fees and no accountability for bad hires.

Who's behind this

Run by a recruiter who's spent 15 years on the tools

Real trade experience. Real sites. That's who checks references on your next hire.

{{ o.stat }}
{{ o.title }}
{{ o.body }}
What actually changes

You stop dreading the 6am phone call.

Picture your site running the way it's supposed to. You wake up knowing who's on site today, because they actually show up. You take a call from a client without bracing for bad news. You spend Monday planning the week instead of rebuilding it.

{{ s.title }}
{{ s.body }}
The offer

One fee. Agreed before we start. Never a percentage.

Three tiers, depending on the role. We agree your exact fee in writing before we look at anybody, so there's no invoice surprise at the end. Some roles we can fill in under 12 hours if the right person's already available — most take a little longer depending on the trade.

Why is this cheaper than an agency?

Because we charge for the work, not for the wage.

A percentage fee means a recruiter earns more when your new site manager earns more. It also means a hire who lasts a week pays them the same as one who's still with you in five years.

We charge one fee. Low overheads, no high street office, no floor of people on commission. And because a bad hire costs us the free replacement, we've every reason to get it right first time.

That's the whole explanation. There isn't a catch under it.

Trade & Labour
From £199
Joiners, sparks, plumbers, groundworkers, labourers, plant operators. An agency at 15-20% of a first year's salary bills £4,500-£6,000 on a £30,000 joiner.
Management & Professional
From £499
Site managers, project managers, QSs, estimators, contracts managers. On a £45,000 site manager, a percentage fee runs £6,750-£9,000.
Senior & Specialist
From £999
Contracts directors, senior estimators, regional and operations managers. Rarer roles, longer search. Still one fee, still agreed upfront.

Under the tiers

Half the fee starts the search. The other half is due the day he's on site. That way you're not paying out while the main contractor's still sat on your invoice.

Candidates never pay us a penny. Not to register, not to be matched, not ever.

✓ No-Candidates, Full Refund Guarantee
Can't find you a match by your start date? Every penny of your deposit back. No arguments, no small print.
✓ Free Replacement Guarantee
4 weeks for trade and labour, 8 weeks for management. If it doesn't work out, we find you someone else on the house.

£199 is less than one day of a two-man crew stood about waiting on somebody who never turned up.

We're currently taking on {{ scarcityCount }} new client companies this month, so our team can give every requirement proper attention.

Here's exactly what you get

Everything included. Nothing held back for a bigger invoice later.

Every member listed by trade, region and the sort of work they're after. Search it by patch. See crew size, when they started, where they cover, and what other members have said about them.
Direct messaging
Find a firm that suits and message them inside the platform. No gatekeeper, no introduction fee, no commission if you end up working together.
The lead board
Post work you can't take. Subcontract, overflow or tender, and mark it urgent if it's this week. Members in that trade and that patch see it.
Reviews
Members rate each other after a job. Which means before you hand your client's work to somebody, you can see how the last three firms found them.
The vetting
Insurance and accreditations checked, and a conversation with somebody who's been on site. Firms who let a member down come off the list.
"
☎

I'm on the phone to construction firms all day.

Recruitment means I'm talking to MDs, contracts managers and site managers most days of the week.

Plenty of what comes up in those calls has nothing to do with staff. Somebody's short a groundworks subbie for April. Somebody's package went out and the firm he used last time has gone quiet. Somebody's pricing a job and needs a number for the steel fixing.

That used to go nowhere. I'd say "I'll ask about" and mostly forget.

Now it goes on the lead board, and members in that trade and that patch see it first.

A lead site can copy the software. It can't copy the phone calls.

Sound familiar?

Flat out in June. Half the crew sat about in July.

Business is good this month. Every man's out, every job's covered.

Then two jobs finish in the same week and there's nothing behind them.

So you start ringing. Same six contacts as last time. Half don't answer, and the ones who do are in the same boat as you.

By Thursday you're pricing a job you'd normally walk past, on a margin that barely covers the diesel, because idle lads cost you more than thin work does.

That's not a business problem. It's a knowing-about-it problem. The work was out there in July. Nobody told you.

And the work you turned away in June didn't come back either.

You had to say no to those two enquiries. Nothing else you could have done.

The client didn't wait. He rang somebody else, that fella did a decent job, and now he's the one getting the call next time.

Saying no cost you more than one job. It cost you the customer.

Straight about this

Being early is the advantage, not the risk.

{{ networkSpotsTaken }} firms are in so far. If you're waiting until it's busy, you've got the logic backwards.
★
You get the reviews first.
Members who've been in longest have a rating and a history. That's what other firms look at before they pass work over.
✓
And you never pay.
It goes paid at 100 firms. Everybody in before then stays free after. Not free for a year. Free.

Straight answer: it's free because it helps the other side of my business.

I run TradeFlowly, a flat-fee construction recruiter. The Network builds goodwill, and some of the firms in it will need staff one day and think of me first.

That's the whole reason. There isn't a cleverer one, and you're never obliged to use the recruitment side. Plenty of members won't, and that's grand.

It goes paid at 100 firms, because past that it needs somebody running it properly rather than me doing it round the day job. Everybody in before then stays free.

One favour, not a fee

One thing, and it costs you nothing.

If work comes your way that you haven't the capacity to take, put it on the lead board instead of letting it go.

That's it. No fee, no commission, and no obligation to take anything offered to you.

It only works if it goes both ways, and the fastest way to get sent work is to have sent some.

How it works

Three steps. Two minutes.

Who's running it

Somebody who's been on the quiet end of it.

I did fifteen years on the tools before I placed anybody. Formwork, steel-fixing, joinery. England, Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and now Australia.

I grew up in my father's joinery shop in Belfast. He was as good a joiner as you'll meet, and there were weeks the shop went quiet because nobody knew he was there. The work was out there. He just had no way of hearing about it.

That's what this is.

About

Built by someone who's actually been on site.

TradeFlowly was started by a recruiter who spent 15 years on the tools before ever picking up a phone to place someone else. That means every question we ask a candidate, every reference we check, comes from knowing what actually matters on a real site, not a script written by someone who's never worn a hard hat.

We got tired of watching agencies charge construction companies 15-20% of a first year's salary for a shortlist that should've taken two days to build. So we built a leaner model: one fee, paid only when you're staffed, backed by a real replacement guarantee, not small print designed to protect the agency instead of you.

Today we place trade, labour, management and professional roles across the UK, Ireland, Europe and Australia — same vetting standard, same straight-talking fee structure, every time.

The final agreed fee can be higher than the deposit depending on the role's complexity and expected time to fill, and is agreed with the Client before work begins. Any balance above the deposit is invoiced once a Candidate starts.

3. Guarantee. If a placed Candidate leaves within 4 weeks (trade/labour) or 8 weeks (management/professional), we provide one free replacement. If we are unable to find a Candidate by the agreed start date, the deposit is refunded in full.

4. Candidate registration. Registration is free for Candidates. We do not charge tradespeople or professionals to be listed, matched or contacted.

5. Exclusive Network subscription. Clients may subscribe to Exclusive Network access for £20/mo ($25 USD/mo), granting visibility into our contractor network directory for sourcing subcontractors and tender partners. Cancel anytime; access ends at the end of the paid period.
