The CRM for trades and M&E recruitment agencies
Placing electricians, plumbers, gas engineers and HVAC engineers means knowing who holds which card, who is between jobs, and who will pick up the phone. MatrixRec keeps your subbies warm and your fit-out jobs filled.
Good subbies go quiet if nobody calls them
The electrician you placed in March has not heard from you since
He has taken work from someone else. You only find out when you need six sparks for a fit-out and half your list is unavailable.
Qualifications on a spreadsheet, expiry dates in your head
ECS cards, Gas Safe registration and 18th Edition certificates all lapse. The client asks for proof on site and you are hunting through emails.
Fit-out jobs come in at 4pm for a 7am start
Filling them means texting twenty people individually and hoping. There is no record of who said yes, who said no, and who you already asked yesterday.
Keep the bench warm and fill the job in one text
The subbies you have not spoken to in a while, at the top of your list
MatrixRec ranks your daily calls: promised call-backs, candidates finishing this week, and anyone you have not spoken to recently. Ten minutes of calls a day keeps two hundred tradespeople warm.
- Tap to dial from the phone, log the outcome in one tap
- Call-backs land in the right day’s list automatically
- Managers see calls made and connected per consultant
Every available electrician within twenty-five miles, texted in one go

Cards and certificates uploaded by the candidate, with expiry dates

- Review queue with approve and reject-with-a-note
- Right to Work report for client audits

Trades agencies ask us
Can I record ECS, Gas Safe and 18th Edition on a candidate?
Yes. Tag candidates with the tickets and cards they hold so you can filter on them, and have them upload a photo of the card with its expiry date so you have proof and a warning when it lapses.
We place a mix of PAYE temps, CIS subbies and permanent roles. Does that matter?
No. A placement is a placement. Temp and subcontract placements go on a weekly plan per client so you can export the week for invoicing; permanent placements are recorded without one.
Can I see who I have already texted about a job?
Yes. Every SMS campaign is logged against the candidates it went to, with a 48-hour suppression so nobody gets the same message twice in two days.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It installs on iPhone and Android from the browser. Most consultants run their morning calls from it without opening a laptop.
