Hiring guide
For many cleaning businesses, the first hiring bottleneck is getting applicants to answer basic questions before they disappear. Text screening makes that first step faster, then automated scheduling books qualified cleaners for interviews.
GuavaHire works alongside the places you already post. It does not post jobs or make hiring decisions for you.
01
Use job posts that tell applicants exactly what to text.
02
Ask a short, consistent set of first-round screening questions.
03
Schedule qualified applicants before momentum fades.
Your job post should say that applicants can apply by text and that the first screen only takes a few minutes.
For residential cleaning, the early questions should reveal whether the applicant can realistically work the routes and schedule.
Do not make yourself read dozens of disconnected messages. Put each applicant conversation and extracted answers in one profile.
Strong applicants should be able to book the next step quickly, whether that is a second-round interview, trial day, or owner follow-up.
FAQ
For first-round screening, text is often faster because applicants can answer when they are free and owners do not have to chase every person live.
Start with name, experience, transportation, availability, service areas, and language comfort. Save nuanced judgment for owner review.
