Edwards Moving & Rigging operates within the heavy-haul, rigging, transportation, and logistics sector, supporting complex projects that require skilled trades, technical expertise, and operational coordination.
The company recruits for a wide range of roles, including:
Skilled trades and field roles – Riggers, Apprentice Riggers, Mechanics
Operations and support roles – Logistics, Project Managers, Administrative staff
Hiring takes place across multiple states, including Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, Florida, and other project-based locations, creating ongoing demand for consistent, reliable recruitment support.
Before working with ecruit, Edwards Moving & Rigging faced several significant recruitment challenges:
Managing multiple job postings across multiple states as a single recruiter
Logging into and maintaining several different job boards and systems
Difficulty reaching qualified candidates in a niche, blue-collar industry
Spending large amounts of time reviewing high volumes of unqualified resumes
One of the most difficult roles to recruit for was Apprentice Rigger.
These roles required:
A high volume of hires
Candidates willing to travel regularly
Baseline qualifications that many applicants did not meet
This combination resulted in extended time-to-fill and a high percentage of unsuitable applicants, increasing stress and slowing down operations.
Edwards needed a more effective and targeted recruitment approach — one that could deliver better candidate quality without increasing costs or complexity.
While they had previously relied on two major recruiting platforms, this approach required:
Significant manual effort
Separate systems for postings and applicants
Time-intensive resume screening
Ecruit stood out by offering:
Wider candidate reach across multiple job boards through one solution
A centralized platform to manage all roles and applicants
A way to maintain control of the recruitment process
Lower overall hiring costs without sacrificing reach
The primary objectives were clear:
Increase applicant quality
Reduce time-to-hire
Simplify and centralize recruitment
Since partnering with ecruit, Edwards Moving & Rigging has filled 10+ roles, with strong and consistent results across both skilled trades and support positions.
For recent campaigns, results typically include:
15–30 relevant applications per role, depending on position
5–7 candidates interviewed
1–3 hires per role
Compared to their previous approach, ecruit delivered:
~50% reduction in cost per hire
Time-to-hire shortened by more than two weeks
Higher-quality, more relevant candidates
Increased posting visibility and traffic
The improvements made a measurable difference to the business:
Reduced hiring stress and delays
Improved staffing consistency in critical roles
Enabled internal HR to focus on onboarding, retention, and compliance instead of constant sourcing
The centralized system and behind-the-scenes support removed much of the administrative burden that previously slowed recruitment efforts.
Brittany Potts highlighted the balance of value and support as a key differentiator:
“Ecruit has significantly improved both our time-to-hire and overall recruitment costs while giving us a centralized place to manage all candidates.”
She also noted that the applicant tracking system is easy to navigate and that the ecruit team’s responsiveness and support have made a noticeable difference.
Edwards Moving & Rigging would absolutely recommend ecruit to other organizations in transportation, logistics, and skilled-trade industries.
The combination of cost-effectiveness, strong candidate reach, and a streamlined recruitment platform has transformed how they hire across multiple locations.
