"I used to spend my entire Sunday sorting through applications. Now I spend two hours a week on hiring and I've made better hires in the last three months than I did in three years on Indeed."
Stop Losing
Good Hires
to Indeed
Core Value Recruiting is hiring software for U.S. home service businesses (cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, pest control) that turns company values into a screening filter — attracting culture-aligned candidates and eliminating mismatches before the interview stage. It turns your company values into a filter that attracts the right people, and filters out the wrong ones before they ever waste your time.

Hiring on Indeed
is a Full-Time Job
You Didn't Sign Up For
You posted the job. You got 200 applications. You spent your weekend screening, scheduling, and chasing no-shows — only to hire someone who quit three weeks later because they weren't a fit.
Resume Roulette
100+ applications from people who applied to everything. No way to know who actually wants to work for you.
No-Show Interviews
You block off 2 hours. They don't show up. No call, no text. You start over next week.
90-Day Turnover
You hire someone who looks good on paper. Three months later, they're gone. The cycle starts again.
Recruiting Eats Your Weekends
Every hour in the hiring process is an hour not running your business. You can't scale what you can't delegate.
Culture Mismatch
They interviewed great. But once hired, they clash with your team, cut corners, or don't care about quality.
Indeed Costs Keep Rising
$300+ per month on ads. Competing with every other employer in your zip code. Return on ad spend is a guess.

- Group interviews cut your time investment by more than half
- Culture-aligned hires stick around — reducing 90-day turnover dramatically
- GHL automation keeps candidates engaged so show rates stay high
| Before | After |

| Hire and pray for fit | Hire with confidence |
| 90-day turnover cycle | Long-term culture fit |
Five Steps.
Repeatable. Scalable.
Define Your Values
Answer a guided questionnaire that surfaces what actually makes your business tick. We turn those into concrete hiring criteria that go in every job post.
Post the Job
Your AI-generated job description weaves your values directly into the posting. Candidates who don't care about culture self-select out before clicking apply.
Screen Applicants
Automated knockout questions filter out mismatches instantly. Only candidates who pass are invited to the group interview — no manual review required.
Group Interview
Run one Zoom call with 5-10 candidates simultaneously. Our scoring tool lives next to your video call so you can evaluate everyone in real-time — then compare scores after.
Hire With Confidence
Your hiring report shows pass/fail decisions per candidate with scoring breakdowns. Make the offer knowing your new hire already aligns with your team's values.
Business Owners
Who Stopped the Cycle
"The group interview format changed everything. I can see how 8 people handle a question at the same time, compare scores afterward, and make a confident offer within 24 hours. Never going back."
"The automated screening knocked out 80% of my applicants without me touching anything. The 20% who made it through the filter actually showed up and actually cared about quality. Wild."

Questions From
Home Service Owners
Definition-style answers to what owners ask before signing up.
- What is Core Value Recruiting?
- Core Value Recruiting is a values-based hiring platform built for U.S. home service businesses (cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, pest control). The system turns a company's stated values into an automated screening filter -- generating value-aligned job descriptions, knockout questions, and a scored group interview workflow. It was built and refined over 47 hires and 1,250+ applicants at LeBlanc Cleaning before being productized.
- How is this different from Indeed or ZipRecruiter?
- Indeed and ZipRecruiter are job boards -- they bring you candidates but don't filter for culture fit, leaving you to do all of the screening, scheduling, and interviewing manually. Core Value Recruiting is a hiring system that runs after the job-board step: it filters applicants against your values, eliminates mismatches before interviews, and runs a scored group interview so you can compare candidates head-to-head. Most owners keep posting on Indeed; CVR is the workflow on top of those applicants.
- Which industries is it built for?
- Core Value Recruiting is purpose-built for U.S. home service businesses with hourly field roles -- cleaning services, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, and pest control. The default knockout questions, scoring criteria, and group interview format are tuned to the realities of hiring technicians, cleaners, and crew leads in these trades. Adjacent service industries can use the platform but the defaults are tuned for these five.
- How long does it take to make my first hire?
- Most owners run their first group interview within 2-3 weeks of starting and make a hire from that interview or the next one. The platform compresses what used to be 60+ days of weekend phone screens into a single 60-90 minute Zoom call with 5-10 candidates. Speed depends on how quickly the job posting fills the screening pipeline -- that's typically the gating factor.
- Do I need to be on a sales call to get started?
- No. Foundation ($297/mo) is fully self-serve -- you can sign up online, define your values, generate a job description, and start collecting applicants the same day, with no sales call required. The Co-Pilot ($599/mo) and Concierge ($899/mo) tiers include direct interaction with the Core Value Recruiting team but are still self-purchase with no mandatory call.
- How does the group interview work?
- The group interview is a single 60-90 minute Zoom call with 5-10 pre-screened candidates at once. As the owner you ask each candidate the same set of value-aligned questions while a side-by-side scoring tool tracks responses in real time. After the call, the platform aggregates scores into a hiring report so you can compare candidates head-to-head and make a confident offer -- the format produces an 82% show rate compared to under 50% for traditional one-on-one phone screens.
- What's included in each pricing tier?
- Foundation ($297/mo) gives you full access to the self-serve workflow -- value discovery, AI job descriptions, automated screening, the group interview scoring tool, and GHL pipeline templates. Co-Pilot ($599/mo) adds a CVR-facilitated first group interview, live coaching during the process, a hiring report walkthrough, and priority support. Concierge ($899/mo) is full-service: CVR runs every group interview, manages the candidate pipeline, holds monthly strategy calls, and provides a dedicated account manager.
- Is there a contract?
- No long-term contract. All three tiers are month-to-month -- you can cancel, upgrade, or downgrade from inside the portal at any time. Stripe handles billing; subscription changes take effect on the next billing cycle.
