On-site field service technicians: Get the Right Technician to Your Machine

  • Brief the machine and the fault, not a job title
  • Matched to technicians who have worked that exact equipment
  • Fixed price or hourly, agreed before anybody travels
  • Flat 6% platform fee, technician keeps 100% of their rate

Hire industrial field service technicians direct for on-site work. No agencies.

How it works

  1. Post the mission

    • Machine, fault, photos and dates
    • Add a budget or leave it open for quotes
    • Live in minutes
  2. Compare quotes

    • Quotes from technicians who know that equipment
    • Hourly or fixed price, you pick
  3. Approve and pay

    • Pay into escrow
    • Work done, report filed, then the money is released

Try it: post a mission

  • The FindFST AI Engine drafts the title and description from the photos and notes
  • It suggests the requirements, you accept each one

The FindFST AI Engine: a recruiter's work, done better

It does the matching a recruiter would, on every mission, across every verified industrial field service technician on the platform, with no CV pile, no phone calls and no agency margin.

  1. Reads your mission

    • Machine, brand, type, industry, skills, certifications
    • Your priorities: what matters most, where you can compromise
  2. Checks every verified technician

    • Each profile is compared with what the work needs
    • The best matches are scored 0 to 100
    • Only structured profile data reaches the ranking, never free text: a well-written bio does not move the score
  3. Shows its reasoning

    • Every score comes with reasons and gaps
    • Updates itself when the mission or a profile changes
    • The score is advice: you choose who to invite and book
  4. Keeps learning

    • Each completed mission is logged against its match: score, rating, on schedule or not
    • We measure and tune the engine against those outcomes

On the live mission: who matches and how well

How the technician applies: hourly or fixed price

  • Hourly: their rate times your estimated hours, best when the scope is uncertain
  • Fixed price: one fee for the whole mission, no daily timesheets
  • You see the total, fee included, before you approve
  • A technician can message you first to agree the dates

The demo plays it through: the technician messages you, applies on the agreed dates, you accept.

From daily timesheets to the mission report

  • Each day logged: hours, notes, photos, on schedule or not
  • The FindFST AI Engine suggests each day's description from its notes and photos
  • The summary is drafted as bullets and refined in plain words

The demo plays a real report, from two logged days to the PDF.

What it costs

6%

flat platform fee

  • 3% payment processing + 3% platform
  • Marking a mission urgent adds 4%
  • Nothing else is ever added
  • Charged on top of the technician's rate, so the technician keeps 100% of what they quote
  • Does not scale with headcount or mission length

Where the same £3,000 goes

£730 more reaches the technician than with a 30% agency, on the same mission.

Illustrative figures, rounded.

  • The FindFST row is a £2,830 quote plus the £170 fee, paid on top
  • An agency's margin comes out of the same £3,000
  • Agency margins in industrial staffing are commonly 25% to 50%

How we keep it at 6%

The admin is automated, and there is no middleman to pay.

  • Payments automated through Stripe
  • Identity and fraud checks automated
  • Insurance and certificates checked once
  • No account-manager layer
  • No recruiter commissions
  • No branch network

What happens if there's a dispute?

Stripe holds the payment until the mission is complete, so a problem gets settled before money moves.

  1. Open it in Mission Control

    • Either side can open one once the mission is paid, during the work or just after it completes
    • The mission pauses while it is open
  2. Agree it between you

    • Message each other, upload evidence and propose compensation
    • An approved proposal settles automatically
  3. Escalate if you cannot agree

    • Either side can escalate: FindFST Support reviews the evidence and mediates
    • Refunds go back to the original payment method

How disputes and refunds work

The demo plays a company disputing an unfinished mission, and the technician answering with evidence and a proposal. Click anything to take over, reject the proposal or escalate.
