Each region hires differently, so each has its own page on travel, local competition for tradespeople and how we would plan a campaign there. - [About](https://bc.works/about/): BC.Works helps British Columbia trades companies recruit by marketing them as employers. It is a Canadian service in the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group, headquartered in Vancouver and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA. - [Results](https://bc.works/results/): Our published results come from marketing HVAC companies to customers, not from recruiting. We show them because the same mechanics drive a hiring funnel, and we are clear about what transfers and what doesn't. - [Pricing](https://bc.works/pricing/): BC.Works runs on Trades.Agency plans: Growth, Elite and Enterprise, from $1,999 a month month-to-month or $1,499 a month on annual billing, plus 5% GST. Ad spend and job-board fees are separate. - [FAQ](https://bc.works/faq/): The questions owners and office managers ask most before hiring us, answered directly, including the ones about what we won't do. - [Contact](https://bc.works/contact/): Call, text or email. Tell us the trade, the role, the region and what you've tried, and a senior strategist will get back to you, usually within one business day. ## Services - [Applicant response](https://bc.works/services/applicant-response/): Many BC trades employers lose good candidates in the gap between application and callback. We set up a simple system that replies quickly and records where every hire came from. - [Crew content](https://bc.works/services/crew-content/): Candidates want to see the people they'd work beside and the jobs they'd be doing. We plan and produce honest crew content that answers that, and you approve everything before it's used. - [Employer brand](https://bc.works/services/employer-brand/): Employer brand is the honest, specific answer to why a tradesperson should work for you. We find it, write it down, back it with proof and use it everywhere you recruit. - [Red Seal pathway](https://bc.works/services/red-seal-pathway/): If you train apprentices well, say so in a way a 19-year-old and their parents can follow. We turn your sponsorship and supervision practices into a clear career path that draws apprentices to you. - [Hiring campaigns](https://bc.works/services/regional-hiring-campaigns/): We put your job openings in front of the tradespeople who can realistically get to your jobs, or would move for them, and we report what each applicant and each hire cost. ## Coverage - [Lower Mainland](https://bc.works/areas/lower-mainland/): In the Lower Mainland, tradespeople have many employers within a commute. Hiring here is won by a specific offer, ads aimed by real travel time, and the first credible callback. - [Northern BC](https://bc.works/areas/northern-bc/): Northern BC employers often need people to move, or to work rotations. Hiring well here means honest schedule detail, a real reason to stay and a careful relocation campaign. - [Okanagan](https://bc.works/areas/okanagan/): Okanagan candidates and would-be newcomers both ask the same thing: is there a lasting career here? Employers who answer it with a clear training path and honest year-round detail hire better. - [Southern Interior](https://bc.works/areas/southern-interior/): In the smaller Interior markets, the pool of qualified tradespeople is thin. Employers here hire best by growing local apprentices, keeping the people they have, and recruiting newcomers with care. - [Vancouver Island](https://bc.works/areas/vancouver-island/): On the Island, the water shapes the labour market. Most hires come from your own part of the Island, so local reputation, apprentices and honest relocation messaging matter more than broad reach. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://bc.works/guides/): Three long-form guides written for owners and office managers: how BC's certification rules shape your hiring plan, how to talk about the Red Seal honestly, and how to calculate what a hire really costs. - [Hiring funnel math](https://bc.works/guides/hiring-funnel-math/): You can't judge any recruiting spend until you know your cost per qualified applicant, your cost per hire and what an empty seat costs. This guide walks through the numbers with placeholder figures you can replace. - [Red Seal recruiting](https://bc.works/guides/red-seal-recruiting-story/): A visible path to certification is one of the strongest reasons for an apprentice to choose your company. This guide shows how to describe that path specifically, without promising what you don't control. - [Certification and hiring](https://bc.works/guides/skilled-trades-certification-hiring/): If you work in one of BC's compulsory certification trades, the rules decide who can do the work and how many apprentices you can supervise. That turns certification into a recruiting-plan question. ## Optional - [Full text](https://bc.works/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://trades.agency)
