Join the iBidElectric Contractor Network
Meet qualified electrical construction professionals before you need to post a job. Membership is free, there is no upfront recruiting fee, and you only pay if you hire a candidate introduced by iBidElectric.
You May Not Be Hiring Today. You Should Still Know When the Right Person Becomes Available.
An experienced estimator, project manager, superintendent, preconstruction leader or executive can enter the market at any time. The Contractor Network gives electrical contractors a way to hear about qualified people even when there is no active job posting.
This is the reverse side of recruiting.
Our job board helps active contractors reach candidates, including professionals who may not be actively looking. Our Talent Network works in the opposite direction: an active candidate asks iBidElectric to help identify the right contractor, including contractors that are not currently advertising an opening.
Get an Early Look at Qualified Talent
Contractor Network members tell us the types of electrical construction professionals they would be interested in meeting. When qualified talent becomes available, iBidElectric can make a targeted introduction.
Join Free

Complete Your Contractor Profile
Tell us your markets, roles of interest, experience levels, project types, compensation ranges and what makes a candidate worth a conversation.
We Review Active Candidates
When a professional joins our Talent Network, iBidElectric reviews the resume, evaluates the candidate's background and speaks with the candidate about their goals.
Network Contractors Get the First Look
We identify contractors whose standing profile may fit the candidate and give those contractors an opportunity to review the candidate before a broader search.
You Decide Whether to Talk
There is no obligation to interview or hire. If the background is interesting, iBidElectric helps make the introduction so both sides can explore the fit.
Pay Only if You Hire
There is no retainer and no upfront recruiting charge. If your company hires a candidate introduced by iBidElectric, the placement fee is 10% of the candidate's first-year base salary.

Contractors in the Network Get the Opportunity
We compare the candidate with Contractor Network profiles in the Chicago market. Contractors that appear to be a potential fit can review the candidate even if they are not actively advertising a position.
No Upfront Fee. No Retainer. 10% Only if You Hire.
Joining the Contractor Network is free. There is no fee to receive an introduction or review a candidate. A recruiting fee is earned only when your company hires a candidate introduced by iBidElectric.
Placement Fee: 10% of First-Year Base Salary
For example, if an iBidElectric candidate is hired at a first-year base salary of $120,000, the recruiting fee is $12,000. If you do not hire the candidate, there is no placement fee.
