Question 1

What is SourceLine?

Accepted Answer

SourceLine is a U.S.-based recruiting partner specializing in hard-to-fill roles niche  skilled trades and technical industries — including RV, Powersports, Marine, Solar, and Heavy Truck & Equipment.

We focus on helping small to mid-sized teams fill roles that traditional job ads and staffing agencies often miss.

We’re not a job board, and we don’t just forward resumes. We provide direct hire recruiting — sourcing qualified candidates, conducting outreach, and prescreening talent to ensure they’re aligned with your role before we submit them for consideration.

Question 2

What industries do you work with and support?

Accepted Answer

At SourceLine, we focus on skilled trades and technician recruiting in the Heavy Truck, Heavy Equipment, and Recreational industries. These fields are facing real challenges in finding and keeping qualified people, and that is where we add the most value.

Most recruiting agencies in these industries focus on leadership and sales roles because the hands-on jobs are harder to fill. We can support those roles too, but the bulk of what we do is finding skilled tradespeople, field service professionals, and shop technicians who keep your business running.

Some of the types of companies we work with in these industries are construction, civil engineering, equipment repair, logistics, RV, and marine.  We help our clients hire talent through a simple and transparent process designed for industries built on skilled labor.

Please note that we do not recruit for automotive or collision repair roles related to passenger vehicles.
