The Problem
Your Electricians Shouldn’t Be Answering the Phone.
Service calls, panel upgrades, EV charger installs, generator hookups and tenant fit-outs all start with someone picking up and asking the right questions.
Much of that work then needs a permit and an inspection. Applications, plan uploads, fee payments and inspection windows differ by jurisdiction, and they eat office hours.
On the commercial side, bid invitations arrive with drawings, specs and deadlines. Someone has to log them, pull the documents together and follow up after submission.
In many electrical businesses that someone is the owner, at night. We recruit remote office staff to take it over.
Where the Work Piles Up
Where Electrical Contractors Lose Hours.
01
Service Calls Mid-Job
Calls arrive while your team is inside a panel. Missed calls become jobs for the next contractor.
02
Permits and Inspections
Each jurisdiction has its own portal, forms and inspection windows. A coordinator tracks every permit from application to final.
03
Commercial Bid Deadlines
Bid invites, plan downloads, addenda and RFIs need logging and follow-up so your estimators price on time.
04
EV, Solar and Generator Leads
Higher-ticket residential leads need a fast callback, photos of the panel and a site visit on the calendar.

I reached out to HireUA and within days had potential candidates booked on my calendar and in weeks was onboarding one of those candidates onto the team. That hire is still with us today (a year later) and has been an incredible support to the team.”

Questions
Electrical Contractor Hiring FAQs
Can they help with commercial bids?
Yes. Bid and estimating support hires log invitations, download drawings and addenda, prepare bid documents and follow up on open bids. Pricing and technical sign-off stay with your team.
Can a remote hire pull permits?
They handle the admin: completing applications in online portals where your jurisdiction allows it, uploading plans, paying fees from your account and booking inspections. Licensed signatures stay with your team.
Can they book EV charger and panel upgrade leads?
Yes. Appointment Setters call new leads quickly, collect photos of the panel and site, and book site visits on your calendar.
Which electrical software can they use?
ServiceTitan, Jobber or Housecall Pro for service work, and tools like Procore, Accubid or PlanSwift for construction and takeoffs. Tell us your stack and we’ll screen for it.
Do remote hires do electrical work?
No. Licensed electricians stay local. We recruit the remote office: phones, permits, bids, bookkeeping and marketing.
Do you recruit for solar and HVAC companies too?
Yes. See our solar and HVAC pages, or the Home Services overview.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
How much can I save compared with hiring locally?
Clients save up to 82% compared with hiring locally. The exact number depends on the role, the seniority and the market we recruit from.
