Welcome to the ServiceTechnician blog — where we share hiring tips, trade news, and field-service insights for shops and technicians alike.
Why we started this blog
The job board is the wedge. But the trades deserve more than a list of openings — they deserve a place that takes the work seriously. This is that place.
What you can expect
- Hiring playbooks for shops competing for scarce talent
- Pay benchmarks across appliance, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical
- Field notes from techs who've been there
"The best technicians aren't looking at job boards. They're referred." — something we hear a lot, and plan to fix.
