Who We Are

Built for Home Service and Trades Business Owners

True Oak Talent is a placement firm built for home service and trades business owners, from HVAC and plumbing to roofing, electrical, lawn care, and pest control. We find, vet, and place the top 1% of remote professionals, mostly from Latin America, so the calls get answered and the office finally runs without you in the middle of it.

Our founder has been building remote teams for over 20 years across his own businesses and speaks Spanish fluently. His grandfather and all three uncles were union plumbers and pipefitters, so this isn't a marketing angle. It's a trades family serving trades owners.

The Problem

Why Most Home Service Businesses Stay Stuck

01

US Hiring Costs Are Unsustainable

A support role in the US costs $40,000-$60,000 a year once payroll taxes, benefits, and workspace are counted, and it climbs every year.

The same role, done by an equally qualified professional, costs a fraction of that from Latin America or the Philippines.

That gap is your profits.
02

"I Don't Have Time to Train Someone New"

You don't have to build training from scratch.

Our candidates are experienced professionals. We provide a 30-day onboarding guide so your hire is productive from day one.

We do the heavy lifting.
03

"I Don't Know How to Manage Someone Overseas"

Managing remote international talent is the same as managing any great employee.

Clear expectations, regular check-ins, the right tools. We walk you through all of it.

We coach you through it.
04

"What If They Steal My Client Data?"

Every candidate is background-checked and reference-verified before you see their profile.

We recommend basic access controls, the same you would use with any remote employee.

Security built in from day one.
05

"My Team Won't Accept a Remote Worker"

They will, when it is framed right.

"I hired someone to handle the phones so you can focus on the work" lands every time.

Buy-in starts with the right framing.
06

Bad Hires With No Backup Plan

Most placement firms take your money and disappear.

We stay accountable with a 90-day unlimited replacement guarantee. Free.

We don't win unless you win.

Proof It Works

Real Businesses. Real Results.

"True Oak Talent moved quickly, understood exactly what I needed, and found an outstanding candidate with medical experience and excellent communication skills. They saved me countless hours and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend True Oak Talent and look forward to working with them again as my practice grows."

Dr. Alap Shah, DPMFounder, River City Foot & Regenerative Medicine, Columbus, Georgia
The two results below are from True Oak's own business, not a client placement. We use our own process to staff our own team.
$20K+

Saved a Year, Same Job

We replaced our own US-based receptionist, paid $22 an hour, with a remote professional at $10 an hour. Calls stopped getting missed and the customer experience got better, not worse.

$120K+

Saved in Year One

We were paying $12,000 to $18,000 a month in US management payroll. One remote hire from Mexico now runs that function for under $2,000 a month, and every metric, from reviews to collections, improved.

Where We Source

Most Placements Come From Latin America

For phone-facing home service roles, Latin America is usually the strongest fit. Time zones line up with your work day, and in a lot of markets a bilingual professional wins business your office currently can't serve. We also source from the Philippines and South Africa depending on the role.

Why True Oak Talent

Built Different

💰

One Flat Fee. No Surprises.

Other firms charge a percentage of salary, so they profit more the more your hire costs. Others take a monthly cut, so they profit more the less experienced your hire is. We charge one flat fee, once. It's the same whether your hire earns six dollars an hour or twelve, so we have no reason to steer you anywhere except toward the person who actually stays.

🤝

You Pay Them Directly

No middleman taking a cut of every paycheck forever. Your hire's full loyalty goes to you, not to an agency collecting a monthly fee off their wages.

✅

90-Day Unlimited Guarantee

If your hire doesn't work out within 90 days for any reason, we replace them at no cost. Unlimited replacements. No fine print.

🇪🇸

Spanish-Fluent Sourcing

Our founder speaks Spanish fluently and has built remote teams for over 20 years. We find bilingual candidates most agencies never reach.
