About us
Southeast Apprentice recruits apprentices and entry-level techs for HVAC, electrical and plumbing contractors in Georgia.
Brian Zmich
I got into recruiting in 2006 and have placed more than 1,000 salespeople since. In 2012 I started Zmich Recruiting Group, which places sales talent at early-stage software companies, and metro Atlanta has been our home market from the start.
I kept hearing the same thing from two directions. College grads stuck in jobs that didn’t need their degree, asking whether a trade made more sense. And contractors I work with telling me they couldn’t find anybody who’d show up and learn.
So we built RecentCollegeGraduates.com to help grads figure out whether a trade beats their degree, and Southeast Apprentice to put the ones who choose the trade in front of contractors who need them.
How we’re different from a job board
A job board sends you everybody. We send you the few who fit: the pay, the drive, the hours, and a real reason for wanting the trade. We talk to every one of them before you do.
How we’re different from a staffing agency
We don’t rent you workers by the hour. Every person we send is your direct hire, on your payroll, from day one. You pay us once, $2,500, when they start, and every hire carries a 90-day replacement guarantee.
