You run the business. We get you the people — fast.
You're growing and you need skilled hands now. But you're an operator, not a recruiter — you don't have time to post ads, screen dozens of people, and chase no-shows. That's our job. We fill your roles fast, with people who are vetted and show up, and you pay only when someone starts.
Powered by SBR2TH — 20 years hiring for defense, aerospace, and enterprise tech, where a bad hire is expensive. Same standard, now for the trades.
Every day a role sits open, it costs you money.
A missing crew member is a bid you can't take, a schedule that slips, and overtime you're paying to cover. The slow way to hire — ads, referrals, hoping someone good walks in — leaves that seat open for weeks. We're built to close it fast, with people who last.
Fast, reliable hiring — handled for you.
Speed
Sourcing starts the day we scope the role. You get a short list of qualified people fast — not a search that drags on for months.
Reliable people
Licenses and references verified, plus a screen for what actually matters on a jobsite: safety and show-up rate. Fewer misses.
Pay on results
No retainer, no percentage of salary. One flat fee per role, quoted up front and invoiced only when your hire starts.
90-day guarantee
If a placement doesn't work out in the first 90 days, we replace them free. We're on the hook for hires that last.
Simple, and no fee until someone's on the job.

Paydirt is the skilled-trades side of SBR2TH. For 20 years this team has placed people into jobs where a bad hire costs real money — defense, aerospace, enterprise tech. Same people, same standard, now working the trades.
Twenty years in recruiting, from the accounting desk to running the firm. Built SBR2TH to fill the roles a business can't grow without — no runaround, no wasted time.

Former British military. Runs a tight, fast operation — organized and direct — because he knows an open seat costs you money every day it stays empty.

Tell us who you need. Get a quote in one business day.
Growing crews don't wait on slow hiring. Send us the role and we'll get moving.
Straight answers.
How fast can you fill a role?
Sourcing starts the day we scope the role, and you'll get a realistic timeline with your quote rather than a generic promise — it depends on the trade, the credentials required, and your market. The whole model is built to move faster than posting ads and waiting.
How does pricing work?
One flat fee per role, quoted before you engage. No retainer and no percentage of salary. You pay only when a candidate you approved starts, and if they leave within 90 days we replace them at no additional fee.
How is this different from a staffing agency?
Sourcing and price. We use SBR2TH's AI-driven platform plus experienced recruiters, so you review a short list of vetted people instead of a stack of résumés — and you pay one flat fee on results, not a retainer or a salary percentage.
What trades and areas do you cover?
Skilled trades across the Texas Gulf Coast — Corpus Christi through Houston and Katy — for commercial, residential, and industrial employers. Electrical, HVAC and mechanical, plumbing and pipe, industrial and plant, construction, fabrication, and logistics.
