Manufacturing Recruitment Software for US Skilled Trades
The skilled trades shortage is real — and production can't stop. Flowxtra helps US manufacturers find qualified tradespeople faster, filter by certification, and build a direct talent pipeline so you stop depending on expensive staffing agencies. EEOC-compliant with OSHA training tracking built in.
Fill skilled trade vacancies before they stop production
An unfilled welder or CNC operator vacancy doesn't just cost a salary — it stops a production line. Flowxtra helps you post to LinkedIn US, Indeed US and ZipRecruiter instantly, filter by exact trade certifications, and move qualified candidates through your pipeline in days rather than weeks.
- Post to LinkedIn US, Indeed US, ZipRecruiter and Monster simultaneously in one click
- Filter by AWS welding certification, OSHA 10/30, forklift cert and machine skills before reviewing resumes
- Automated candidate communications keep applicants engaged — fewer dropouts mid-process
Recruit across multiple plants and shifts from one system
Managing day shift, night shift, and swing shifts across three plants in the Midwest or the South with a spreadsheet is how vacancies get missed. Flowxtra gives your HR team a single view of every open req, every candidate, and every shift — across every US site.
- Per-plant career pages and job postings with shift-specific hours
- Unified dashboard for all sites — day, night, and swing shifts visible at once
- Role-based approval workflows for shift supervisors and plant managers
Reduce staffing agency dependency with a direct talent pipeline
US staffing agencies charge 20–35% of salary for every skilled trades hire — and you lose the relationship when the contract ends. Flowxtra lets you build a direct pipeline of qualified US tradespeople, keep them warm between vacancies, and rehire without paying a placement fee.
- Talent pool for qualified tradespeople — tagged by certification and availability
- Re-engage past applicants for new requisitions with one click
- Direct hiring saves an average of $8,000–$20,000 per skilled trades placement
Job filters built for US trade qualifications — not generic HR software
Generic HR software doesn't know the difference between AWS D1.1 welding certification and an OSHA 30 card. Flowxtra lets your team define exact filters for certifications, machine skills, and shift patterns — so only genuinely qualified candidates reach your inbox.
- Candidates select their certifications and machine skills — no free-text CVs to decode
- Filter by shift pattern (day/night/rotating) before scheduling interviews
- Career page shows trade-specific filters — qualified candidates find the right role instantly
