Background

InnoVen Services oversees a growing portfolio of HVAC and plumbing companies across the southern United States. With multiple brands to support, their leadership team is constantly juggling operations, growth initiatives, and service delivery. One of their biggest ongoing challenges? Hiring a variety of skilled technicians quickly and reliably to keep up with demand.

The Challenge

As a multi-location operator, InnoVen’s lean internal team was struggling to keep up with the constant hiring needs across each brand. Managing job posts, evaluating hundreds of applicants, and endlessly coordinating interviews was eating up valuable time and pulling focus away from revenue-generating work. High candidate no-show rates were also a massive drag on efficiency (industry avg: 25-40%).

“I think every hiring leader or business owner in HVAC or plumbing knows the pain of hiring,” says Amani Wells, Operations Manager at InnoVen. “The industry is unpredictable and our workforce is always changing, so we constantly need to fill open positions or else we can’t grow. That’s where TradeRunner comes in – they’ve been instrumental in helping us fill open positions quickly so our team can focus on serving customers.”

The Solution

InnoVen partnered with TradeRunner, a hiring platform specifically built for the HVAC and plumbing industry. Unlike traditional recruiting methods, TradeRunner connects employers directly with qualified technicians ready to interview – eliminating the back-and-forth and giving busy managers their time back. No job posts to manage, applications to review, or interview times to coordinate. TradeRunner uses a proprietary database of qualified HVAC & plumbing talent to match skilled workers with companies hiring for open positions.

“In this industry, every day without a tech in the field means lost revenue, ”Wells explains. “TradeRunner’s modern hiring platform helps us fill roles lightning fast without wasting time on job boards or sorting through unqualified applicants.”

The Bottom Line

Since adopting TradeRunner, InnoVen has:

✅Filled key roles across multiple locations within days, not months

✅Drastically decreased reliance on job boards and resume filtering (50+ hours per month)

✅Saved thousands on job board advertising fees

“TradeRunner just gets it,” says Wells. “They know how urgent hiring is in this space, and their platform delivers fast, qualified matches so we can keep jobs moving and revenue flowing.”
