Why BlueHire

A database built the way trades hiring actually works.

Not scraped, not stale, not a black box. Every record has a source, a consent trail, and an owner who gets paid when it converts.

Real intent, not scraped noise

Every profile came from a real application or recruiter relationship — people who raised their hand for trades work.

Fresh, verified contact data

Phone and email re-verified before delivery. Licenses cross-checked against state records — no lapsed cards.

Consent-based and compliant

Two-tier data model, network-wide opt-out honored automatically, full audit trail on every record accessed.

Nationwide network

Sourced from staffing agencies, employer applicant flows, and licensed providers across the country. Never scraped, never dumped.

For recruiters & small staffing firms

Your dormant candidates. New income.

You've built a book of thousands of blue-collar candidates. Most of them are earning you nothing. BlueHire partners earn $4.50 every time we match an employer's search to a candidate in your ATS — passively, with a live ledger and one-click leave.

  • Dormant candidates only — your active pipeline is invisible
  • Never submitted against your own open jobs
  • Live ledger — see every pull, timestamp, and payout
  • No fees, no minimums, one-click disconnect

Illustrative economics

What a partner might earn — passively.

Rough math on a typical book. Real numbers depend on your trades mix, geography, and job flow — directional, not a guarantee.

  • ~200 matches/mo on 5,000 candidates ≈ $900/mo · ~$10,800/yr
  • ~800 matches/mo on 20,000 candidates ≈ $3,600/mo · ~$43,200/yr
  • ~2,000 matches/mo on 50,000 candidates ≈ $9,000/mo · ~$108,000/yr

Assumes $4.50 per matched candidate at typical employer search volumes across the network. Your rate will differ.

How it works

Connect once. Earn passively. Leave anytime.

Ten minutes to set up. Zero fees. Nothing to manage after connect — your ledger fills itself.

Connect your ATS

Works with Bullhorn, Crelate, Loxo, JobAdder, and 100+ others. Or send a CSV / resume export. Ten minutes.

We index, we don't take

Only matchable basics — trade, license, location, experience — enter the search index. Resumes and contact stay with you.

You get paid

Every time an employer's search matches a candidate in your ATS, you earn $4.50 — before any conversation. Monthly statement, direct deposit.

Data & Trust

Every record has a source. And an owner.

A data platform's product is provenance. Here's how ours works — plain English, no dark patterns.

Two-tier data model

Data stays where it lives — until there's a real job.

  • Tier 1 · Index: trade, license, geography, experience only
  • Tier 2 · Pulled: full profile, only on a live match — every pull logged
  • One-touch candidate opt-out, honored across the entire network
  • Access, correction, deletion via contact@bluehire.ai
  • CCPA / CPRA and equivalent state privacy law compliance

Security posture: encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access controls, segmented partner data. We only list certifications actually held.

FAQ

Straight answers.

The real questions buyers and partners ask before signing anything.

Will you poach my clients?

No. We work employer accounts you don't. The partner agreement bans soliciting your clients.

Will you use my candidates against me?

Never. Active candidates are excluded automatically, and dormant candidates are never submitted to jobs you're working. Conflict rules are enforced in software, not promises.

Who owns the data?

You do. We license access; revoke it anytime. Disconnecting removes your records from the searchable index within 24 hours.

What does it cost a partner?

Nothing. No fees, no minimums, no setup costs. Partners only earn.

How does BlueHire compare to a general database like Apollo?

BlueHire is purpose-built for skilled trades. That means trade taxonomy, license verification against state records, and re-engagement flows built for the way blue-collar candidates actually respond — not white-collar sales sequences.

What do candidates experience?

A professional re-engagement about a real, specific job — with a clear opt-out honored across every partner in the network.

How do I know what data was pulled?

Your ledger logs every access event — timestamp, job context, fields pulled, whether it converted, and what you earned. Monthly statements reconcile line-by-line against it.
