How it works
No portal to learn. You answer a text when you're on a break.
Check your licence
Put in your number. We pull the state record and show what's due.
Tell us the next job
Text a photo of the contract or the GC's request. That's usually all we need.
Sign, and it's done
We prepare everything. You approve on your phone; we file it or send it to the GC.
Dates that cost contractors money
Miss one and you can lose the right to get paid. We put every one of them on your calendar.

What we don't do, on purpose
We don't sell or issue insurance
Certificates come from your insurance agent. We request them, check them and keep them current.
We don't file lien claims
If it comes to a lien, a partner construction attorney files it. We hand over the paperwork.
We never ask for passwords
You sign forms yourself on your phone. State accounts stay in your name.
Talk to us in your language
Every message, form explanation and reminder comes in the language you pick.

Questions
Which states do you cover?
We read licence records automatically in California and Texas, and check Florida, Arizona and other states by hand. Notices and waivers follow each state's own rules.
Do I need an account?
No. Check your licence and leave a mobile number. We text you, and you answer when you can.
What does the state charge?
State fees are passed through at cost and shown before you pay. A California renewal is $450 for a sole owner and $700 for other businesses; a Texas electrical contractor renewal is $110.
Are you a law firm or an insurance agency?
No. Hired prepares and tracks paperwork. Lien claims go to partner attorneys, and insurance comes from your own agent.
Who is behind Hired?
Hired is a Machine Logic company. Its sister company, Filed, does the same job for truckers.
