What a janitorial staffing agency has to solve
A cleaning contractor carries two very different gaps. One is the onsite crew that strips floors, covers restrooms and answers a callback at 10pm. The other is the back office that builds routes, closes work orders and sends invoices. Most vendors staff one and ignore the other.
Two gaps, one contractor
One gap is the onsite crew that strips floors and answers a 10pm callback. The other is the back office that builds routes, closes work orders and sends invoices.
Callbacks cost accounts
A callback costs you the account, not just the labor hour. A supervisor who quits mid-quarter puts every route at risk.
Quiet back office drag
Unbilled work orders hit margin long before they surface as complaints.
Both fixed at once
Routes stay covered, invoices leave on time, and a $995 retainer starts a permanent hire instead of another temp markup.
Two models, one honest number
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary, and most will not publish it until you are on a call. Both HireHawk models sit below that line, in the open. One is a retainer plus a placement fee for a permanent onsite hire. The other is an hourly rate with nothing bolted on.
Scheduling, dispatch, procurement, billing and quality tracking, run as fully managed desks inside your work order software. From $12/hr all-inclusive, one monthly fee covering everything.

Explore all roles we staff →Sub-industry fit
The desk list shifts with the work you win. An office portfolio needs supervisors and floor care. A plant needs technicians who understand lockout and confined space. Sub-industry decides which roles you buy first, and which model pays for itself faster.
Office towers and multi-tenant portfolios where callbacks decide renewals. Supervisors first, dispatch behind them.
Integrated contracts where cleaning sits next to maintenance. Facilities technicians and work order dispatchers carry the load.
Plants and warehouses running around production. Technicians with equipment experience, plus procurement to keep consumables stocked.
Punch-list cleans run on the builder's clock, not yours. When the trades on that same project need hiring too, take it to our commercial construction staffing page.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

Questions cleaning contractors ask
How much does it cost to hire a janitor through HireHawk?
For a permanent onsite custodian, US direct hire is $995 retainer + 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with no upfront. There is no charge to see a shortlist. For back office desks like scheduling or billing, Global fully managed starts from $12/hr all-inclusive, billed month to month.
Which model fits a cleaning contractor's open desk?
Choose by desk, not by budget. If the person needs a badge, a key ring or a machine, they have to be onsite, so US direct hire at $995 retainer + 12.5% of first-year salary fits. If the work happens in a calendar, a ticket queue or an invoicing system, Global fully managed from $12/hr all-inclusive does it for less. Most contractors end up running both.
How fast can you fill a site supervisor opening?
You get a shortlist in 10 calendar days and onboarding closes in 21 days. Supervisors take longest to scope because the role changes with portfolio size, so we ask about buildings, shifts and callback volume up front. Onsite hiring runs across all 50 states, so multi-site contractors can start in one region.
Can global staff really run scheduling and dispatch?
Yes, when the work lives in software you already use. Route calendars, ticket queues, supplier portals and invoicing systems do not care where the operator sits. A dedicated Client Success Manager stays on the account for the life of the hire, so quality issues have an owner who is not your supervisor.
What happens if a custodian or coordinator does not work out?
US direct hires carry a 60-day replacement guarantee. Global fully managed desks carry a 100% performance guarantee, and the account is month to month, so you are never holding a contract for a desk you no longer want. Replacement starts from the same vetted pool, not a fresh search.
How do you screen janitorial candidates?
Every applicant runs through 5-Stage Vetting: skills testing, background verification, communication screening, reference checks and a working scenario. You review finalists, not a longlist. For field roles that includes verifying equipment experience, because floor care and general custodial are not interchangeable skills.
