Flat-Fee Recruiting for the Heavy Equipment Industry
Finding and keeping skilled heavy equipment talent is tough. Most experienced technicians, operators, and shop managers already have jobs. SourceLine helps companies like those in construction, civil engineering, mining, and oilfield operations find skilled people who keep equipment running and projects on track.
Our recruiting model is simple and transparent. You pay one flat fee per hire. No percentages. No commissions. No surprises. We focus on skilled trades roles from field technicians to leadership roles where quality, reliability, and experience matter most.
We Don't Wait For
Candidates.
We Find Them.
We're Not Your Typical Recruiting Agency -
and That's a Good Thing.
Traditional recruiting does not work in this field. The best technicians and operators are not sitting on job boards. They are out in the field keeping equipment running.
SourceLine takes a hands-on approach to hiring. We hand-select every candidate based on your exact needs. No bots. No outsourcing. No mass resumes. Our recruiters understand the work because we come from the same industries we serve.
We combine real recruiting with smart marketing and skilled trades knowledge. Every outreach message, conversation, and campaign is written in clear, practical language that connects with real working people in our industry. That is why our outreach gets candidate’s attention and delivers results, bringing three times the engagement of traditional generalist recruiters and paid job board ads.

Why Heavy Equipment Companies Work With SourceLine
We Understand Equipment
We know heavy equipment. We understand the difference between a track loader and a backhoe, and we know the certifications, tooling, and systems your technicians use every day. Our outreach connects with working techs who have hands-on experience with hydraulics, diagnostics, and field service repair. These are the people who keep your machines running and your jobs on schedule.
Built for Skilled Trades
We don’t talk to candidates like an HR department. Our team comes from the trades, and it shows.
We connect with experienced technicians and shop staff because we speak clearly and know the work, not corporate buzzwords.
Targeted Sourcing that Works
You won’t find great diesel techs running Indeed ads. We proactively search and engage candidates using advanced search techniques, boolean strings, and competitor-based targeting strategies that actually work.
