How VanReady Works:
Services & Placement Specifications
A comprehensive, transparent breakdown of our 72-hour trade dispatch engine, compliance auditing, 5-Day On-Site Test Drive, and fee structure for commercial contractors and skilled trades.
Contractor Services & Capacity Deployment
Engineered for commercial electrical, mechanical, and solar contractors who need site-ready crews without the financial risk of traditional recruitment agencies.
Capacity Demand Submission
Submit your crew demand online in under 3 minutes at /hire. Specify your required trade specialism (Commercial Electrician, Solar PV Lead, RGI Plumber, or Trade Assistant), crew bundle structure, yard location, and start date.
Spatial Matching & Ticket Verification (72 Hours)
Our dispatch engine matches ticket-verified trades located within a 45 km radius of your contractor yard. Before candidate presentation, our compliance team audits SOLAS Safe Pass cards, Safe Electric Level 6, RGII tickets, and Category B driving licences.
The 5-Day On-Site Test Drive (€0 Upfront)
Crew arrives at your yard on Monday 07:00 equipped with safety gear and tooling. You put them on the tools under your site supervisors for 5 full days of commercial production. You evaluate workmanship, speed, safety adherence, and team fit.
Friday 17:00 Retention Call or €0 Return
If the crew meets your high standards, confirm retention via SMS (reply KEEP) or one click in the Contractor Portal. If they do not meet standards, notify us before Friday 17:00—you pay VanReady €0.
12-Month Non-Circumvention Protection
Every placement is protected by our standard clickwrap non-circumvention terms (with 150% liquidated damages), guaranteeing that candidate agreements and contractor client relationships remain strictly safeguarded.
