We fill the seats. You run the jobs.

And it’s free until the first hire signs.

Bench Depth is a recruiting department for blue-collar companies — construction first, plus manufacturing, trucking, facilities, and utilities. We find people with a track record you can check, you interview them, and you pay nothing until one signs.

Book a 15-minute call

The work’s there. The people who run it aren’t.

You’ve got the backlog. You’ve got the contracts. What you don’t have is the super, the plant manager, the ops lead who keeps a job from going sideways.

So the seat sits open. The work runs shorthanded. Somebody good burns out covering two jobs, and then you’ve got two seats open.

Job boards reach people who are looking. The people who can run your work aren’t looking. They’re busy running somebody else’s.

Tell us the seat.

One call. Role, pay band, site, start date.
Get a slate.

A short list of checked, reachable candidates — not a resume dump.
Hire and run.

You interview, you pick, you hire under your name. First hire signs — then billing starts.

We check the resume so you don’t get burned.

Anybody can type “ran a $40 million project” on a resume. We go find out whether they did.

The jobs they actually ran. How big. What they held — the title and the real job. References from the people who were standing there when it happened.

In construction we check a resume’s projects the way a bank checks a draw request. Manufacturing, trucking, facilities — same discipline, translated to plants, fleets, and buildings.

We check them before you ever see a name.

80% of U.S. hiring managers say candidate resumes don’t match real-world skills.— Express Employment Professionals / Harris Poll, 2026

We do everything but the interview.

Four checked candidates per open role, every 30 days.
First one inside 10 business days. Once billing starts, miss it and billing pauses — that’s in the agreement, not on a slide.
The whole process, under your name.
Outreach, screening, scheduling, candidate management, offer support. Candidates hear from your company, not from a recruiter they’ve never met.
A scorecard we build with you at kickoff.
What the job takes and what it pays, in writing, before anybody sources a name.
A pipeline file you own.
Every candidate we contact for you, in a file that stays yours.
A comp sheet every quarter.
What your roles actually pay in your metro. On The Bench and The Department.

Your part: interviews, and 30 minutes a week.

Why free? Because we’re new, and we’re buying proof.

Bench Depth has 3 founding spots. Founding clients pay nothing until the first hire signs. In exchange: a written case study, your name as a reference, and two introductions. That’s the whole trade. After 3 spots, the free entry goes away.

This is for you if:

You hire salaried people who run blue-collar work — supers, superintendents, plant managers, ops leads, estimators, PMs.
You’ve got four or more of those hires coming in the next twelve months.
You’ve got a real open seat right now.
You’re in Northern Virginia, Charlotte, or Raleigh. Construction is where we started; manufacturing, trucking, facilities, and utilities work the same way.

This isn’t for you if you hire two people a year. Pay a headhunter — honestly, it’s cheaper. We’ll tell you that on the call instead of selling you something you don’t need.

Flat fees. No percentage of anybody’s salary.
