Arku for Trades

Hiring for trades, without the paperwork pile

Find sparkies, plumbers, builders and apprentices who apply from their phone, then decide together as a crew.

Sound familiar?

Most trades businesses hire with a job board, a phone and a notebook. It works until two good applicants slip through the cracks in the same week.

Good people won't fill in long forms
The best tradies are on the tools. If applying means a CV and twenty fields on a laptop, they move on to the next ad.
Applications end up everywhere
Some come by email, some by text, some through a job board. Nobody is sure who has called whom back.
Checking tickets takes calls
You need to know about licences, a driver's licence and a vehicle before you spend time on an interview.

Apply from a phone, no CV needed
The apply form works on a phone, and you choose whether a CV is required, optional or not asked for at all.
Ask about licences up front
Add licence or certification and driver's licence and vehicle questions, so you see who is ready to start before you call.
Text candidates
On Starter and Pro, text applicants about interviews and updates. People who agree to texts on the apply form get them.
One board for every applicant
Move people from Applied to Hired on a simple pipeline board, and keep notes your whole team can see.
Let the foreman score without an account
Send a scoring link for one applicant. It works for 14 days and needs no login.
Everyone hears back
Reject with one click and send a respectful email, so your name stays good on site and online.

Can apprentices apply without a CV?

Yes. You choose whether each job asks for a CV, makes it optional or doesn't ask at all.

Do I pay for each person on my team?

No. Every plan includes unlimited users, so your foreman, office manager and directors can all take part.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. One open job is free for as long as you like, with no card needed.
