Flat. One Monthly Fee. No Surprises.

MEP✓ Every Candidate Screened By Someone Who Knows The Work

MEP. Specialists Only. Always.

0% Placement Commission. Ever.

The Problem

You've Been
Here Before.

The traditional recruiting model is broken for MEP contractors. It's built to collect fees — not to build your team.

✕ 01

You Pay. They Ghost.

You signed a fee agreement, waited three weeks, got two unqualified resumes, and the recruiter stopped returning calls. You still owe them $8,500 if the candidate shows up.

✕ 02

They Don't Know MEP.

A generalist recruiter can't tell the difference between a service tech and an install tech. They'll send you residential HVAC maintenance guys for a commercial chiller role.

✕ 03

Candidate Quits. Pay Again.

$12,000 to place a tech. He's gone in 47 days. The guarantee has six exclusions buried in it. You're back to square one — and back to paying another fee.

✕ 04

No System. Just Hope.

Every time a seat opens you scramble. No pipeline. No screened candidates standing by. Just an Indeed posting and a prayer that someone qualified applies this week.

How We Work

Two Ways To
Work With Us.

Two models, matched to how you hire. Use either — or both. Most clients run the subscription for their field and technical roles and contingency for senior leadership hires.

Model 1 — Monthly Subscription

Ongoing Hiring Partner

For companies hiring field, technical, and trades roles regularly. One flat monthly fee covers active searches, screening, pipeline, and market intel across your covered roles — with no per-placement fees on those roles.

Best for: techs, installers, foremen, trades — ongoing hiring

Model 2 — Contingency Placement

Pay When They Start

For senior, management, leadership, and senior-technical roles — or any one-off hire when you don't hold a subscription that covers it. You pay only when the candidate starts. No retainer, no monthly obligation.

Best for: service managers, GMs, PMs, leadership — occasional hiring

Talk Through Which Fits Your Operation →

Your Risk Is Capped

Start Small.
Stay Because It Works.

Getting started takes a brief initial commitment — enough to build your pipeline and launch your campaigns properly. After that, you're fully month-to-month: cancel any time with 14 days' written notice.

The most it costs to find out if this works is a short, defined window. After that, you stay because the pipeline is working — not because a contract traps you.

Who We Serve

Built For MEP.
Not Everyone.

We place MEP and skilled-trades talent — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and controls. We know your roles, your equipment, your markets. If your business runs on skilled trades — whether you're a mechanical contractor, a property operator with a centralized maintenance team, or a PE-backed platform — we staff the people who keep your systems running.

✓ Right Fit For Rosso

MEP or mechanical contracting company, 20–500 employees
Hiring 5+ people per year across any combination of roles
Multi-location operation needing consistent hiring across markets
Multi-family / commercial property operators with in-house or centralized maintenance teams
Facilities and property management groups hiring HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades directly
Growing company tired of reactive, one-off agency relationships
Operations leader who wants a system — not a prayer
PE-backed platform standardizing trades hiring across portfolio companies
Willing to commit to the process and respond within 48 hours

✕ Not The Right Fit

Hiring one person every 18 months
Residential-only HVAC or plumbing company
Looking for flat fee — we don't do flat fees
Unable to commit to 48-hour feedback on submittals
Running 3 other agencies simultaneously on the same roles
Offering below-market compensation and unwilling to adjust
Company that changes the job spec every two weeks

Property & Facilities Operators

Run a portfolio with a centralized maintenance team? We staff the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing specialists who keep your buildings running — the same way we staff mechanical contractors.

Why Rosso

The MEP
Difference.

We're not a generalist firm that got lucky in HVAC. We know this industry.

We Know The Work

Our recruiters know what superheat means. They know the difference between a controls tech and a service tech. They can screen a chiller mechanic without a script.

One Predictable Fee

No surprise invoices. You pay the same predictable amount in July as in March — your hiring costs stop swinging with every placement. Book a call and we'll show you exactly what it costs for your operation.

You Own The Pipeline

Every screened candidate, every market intel insight — it stays with you. We're building your hiring infrastructure, not holding it hostage.

Nationwide. Trades Only.

Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Tennessee, and beyond. One relationship. Every market. No starting over with a new agency.

Slow Month? Still Running.

Your pipeline stays warm in the off-season. When September hits and every MEP shop is scrambling — yours already have vetted candidates ready.

Accountability Built In

Defined monthly deliverables. A written report, pipeline update, and market brief — not a voicemail saying we're working on it.

Contingency Placement

Need To Fill
One Senior Role?

Not every hire needs a monthly commitment. For a senior, management, or specialized role — or any one-off hire when you don't hold a subscription that covers it — we work the search on contingency. You pay only when your candidate starts. No retainer, no monthly obligation.

How It Works

Tell Us The Role

We get the full picture — requirements, comp, location, timeline. No vague job descriptions.

We Source & Screen

MEP-specific technical screening on every candidate. You only see people who passed.

You Hire. We Invoice.

Pay only when your candidate starts — never before. We'll walk you through how contingency works for your role on a quick call.

What You Get

→ MEP-specific technical screening on every candidate

→ Full candidate submittal — experience, screening results, comp expectations

→ Interview scheduling and coordination handled

→ Replacement guarantee if candidate leaves within 90 days

→ No monthly commitment — pay only when your candidate starts

Heads Up

If you find yourself coming back for a second or third search — that's exactly when our monthly subscription starts making a lot more financial sense. Most of our subscription clients started with a single search.

FAQ

Questions We
Always Hear.

We get the same questions every time. Here are the real answers — not the ones a recruiter gives to close the deal.

Talk To Us Directly →

What if we don't hire anyone that month?

You still receive your monthly deliverables — market intelligence, pipeline maintenance, candidate monitoring. Think of it like your accountant: they don't stop working in a slow revenue month. Your hiring infrastructure stays ready. If you genuinely have no open roles, you can pause with 14 days notice.

We have a summer lull. Do we still pay?

Two options. Stay subscribed and let us keep your pipeline warm — so when hiring picks back up in September you already have vetted candidates. Or pause with 14 days notice and pay a reactivation fee when you restart. Most clients who try pausing switch back after one chaotic September competing for the same candidates as everyone else.

What if you can't find candidates that month?

We run continuous sourcing and screening on every active role and keep you updated on pipeline status. Our model works best when candidate feedback is timely and we're the dedicated agency on the role — competing postings break the pipeline we're building.

We already use other agencies. Can we keep them?

For roles not covered under your active Rosso campaigns — yes. For roles that are active under our agreement, running competing agencies simultaneously voids the candidate guarantee and dilutes the pipeline we're building. Our model works best when Rosso operates as your dedicated partner on active campaigns.

What roles do you place?

MEP and mission-critical only. HVAC service techs, install techs, apprentices. Plumbers and pipefitters. Electricians and controls techs. Project managers, estimators, service managers, superintendents, foremen. Data center and mission-critical specialists. We don't place receptionists or anyone whose job doesn't involve a wrench, a blueprint, or a building system.

How does the commitment work?

It's a small, defined commitment up front to build your pipeline — then you're in control. After that initial period you're month-to-month: cancel any time with 14 calendar days' written notice before your next billing date. No long contracts, no penalty beyond the notice period. Short, clear, and then flexible.
