Nine steps. No nonsense.
Hardy Hands is a personal matching service, not a job board. Here's exactly what happens after you hit submit.
Worker or ranch submits info
A worker fills out the free worker form, or a ranch posts an opening. Five minutes either way.
Hardy Hands reviews the details
Every submission gets read by a person, not filtered by a bot. Same day in most cases.
Worker is screened
A quick call or text to verify experience, references, timing, and what they're actually looking for.
Ranch role is verified
Pay, housing, duties, and deal breakers get confirmed so nobody's time is wasted.
Match is made
Workers are matched to roles on real experience, location, housing, pay, and timing. Not keywords.
Search terms are confirmed
The ranch accepts the $100 activation and $400 on-hire terms before the managed search begins.
Direct intro is made
Hardy Hands sends the ranch a candidate summary and connects both sides directly.
Ranch hires directly
The ranch interviews and hires on their own terms. They pay the worker directly. Hardy Hands never touches wages.
$400 applies only if hired and started
The $100 activation covers the managed search. The remaining $400 is due only when a referred worker starts.

Both sides protected
- Workers: your info is never shared without your permission
- Ranches: terms are confirmed before any introduction
- Nobody pays for a match that doesn't happen
