How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

Step 1 is the Contractor HR Audit Checklist, file 7. Work down from there, and by step 8 you plan the season.

  1. Run the audit first. Open the Contractor HR Audit Checklist and score where your field HR stands today. It tells you which toolkit to open first and gives you the baseline you will measure against.

  2. Stand up crew attendance. Kit 1 is the fastest win: set your point values, load the roster by crew and foreman, and every crew runs the same standard within a week.

  3. Hire to one standard. Kit 2 replaces handshake hiring with real job descriptions, structured interviews, and a bilingual application scored the same way for every candidate.

  4. Equip your foremen. Kit 3 puts the workbook, scripts, and documentation habits in the hands of the people who run the crew every day.

  5. Get every card current. Kit 4 logs every license and certification, flags what is expiring, and surfaces the lapses that stop work first.

  6. Onboard every hire the same way. Kit 5 runs day one through the ninety day mark, with a buddy structure and the checklists that keep a new hire past the first weeks.

  7. Hold pay together. Kit 6 builds wage ladders, places every technician against them, and gives you the stay conversation tools that keep good technicians.

  8. Plan the season. Load the Seasonal Staffing Planner and let it size your crews against the work ahead, so you hire or shift people before the gap hits the schedule.

Before you buy

Clear answers to the practical questions.

The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.

What exactly do I receive?

26 PDF guides, 12 Word documents, 8 Excel workbooks, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.

Are these the real screenshots?

Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.

Can I use the files in my business?

The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.

What if I need help applying it?

Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
