Hiring cleaners and hospitality staff without CVs
Many strong cleaners, kitchen staff, and hospitality workers will never send a polished resume. If your application process assumes they will, you lose people and still get a messy inbox.
No monthly fees. Just $99 for each position you open, then you're done.
The CV assumption fails for a lot of real work
Office hiring still leans on resumes and cover letters. Cleaning, hospitality, and similar hands-on roles often do not. People apply from a phone, they have solid experience that does not live in a Word document, and a long form feels like a barrier rather than a filter. If you insist on a traditional CV, you either get very few applications or applications that do not represent who can actually do the job.
The same pattern shows up for kitchen staff, housekeepers, servers, and other roles where the work is practical and the best people are not writing cover letters.
What works better
For these roles we can set up an online quiz: a short set of job-specific questions people answer on their phone, with no CV required. You still get structured information. Applicants still get a clear process. We screen the answers, decline people who are not a fit, and give you a shortlist to interview.
If a role does need a resume after all, we can run the resume path instead. The point is to match the application to how people in that job actually apply.
What you still control
You write the job the way you need it. You decide who gets hired. We handle the volume and the declines so you are not chasing half-finished messages across apps. $99 per open position for 30 days. See how it works and pricing.
You can still post on the boards and groups you already use. The quiz or hiring link becomes the front door so screening has something solid to work with.
Common questions
Is a quiz fair for experienced workers?
A short, practical quiz is often fairer than demanding a resume from people who never needed one to do excellent work.
Can I still ask for references later?
Yes. Interviews and final checks stay with you. The quiz is the application step, not the whole hire.
What if some people send a resume anyway?
We can work with mixed inputs. The goal is a process that matches the role, not a rigid format fight.
