Hire rope access techs, matched by their wallet

Post any kind of work in six steps: a few days, a contract or a permanent role. Cowstail shows it to the technicians whose IRATA level, tickets and distance fit, and they apply with a verified wallet instead of a CV. Free to post, no cut of the rate.

How it works

From posted to on site

1. Post in six steps

What the work is, where, when, the pay, what you need and how to apply. Days, a contract or a permanent role. The rate on a wheel, per hour, day, week or year, CIS, PAYE or Ltd. Paste your own advert and the steps fill themselves in.

2. The right techs hear about it

The moment the post is live, every technician it fits gets a push: level, tickets, distance from their base. No scattergun. The board shows them in one line whether they fit.

3. Applicants with a wallet

Each application is a snapshot of the technician's verified tickets, level and expiry dates, plus the answers to up to three questions you asked. Shortlist, offer, book.

Post any kind of work

Days, contracts and permanent roles

The post shapes itself to the job. A few days: start date, duration, shift pattern, hours. A contract: weeks or ongoing, full or part time. A permanent role: salary, benefits, applications close. One expiry rule for all of them: the post comes down after the last day of work, or after 30 days, and we remind you a week before.

Tickets are picked from the same library the technicians use, by sector: IRATA levels, GWO, CSCS, NDT, confined space, first aid, with an Other field for anything else. On site: L3 supervisor present, kit provided, induction, own PPE, and a private reference that lands on the technician's invoice as your PO.

After the hire

Their invoice lands with you

A technician you booked through a job hands you the invoice in the app, drafted from the booking: the days, the rate, your PO and your payment terms. You approve it, query a line or mark it paid, and both of you see where it stands. Your finance email, payment terms and CIS status are published once and every invoice follows them.

The Finances tab shows what you owe per technician this month. The schedule shows who is booked where. The team tab brings your own staff in.

Built on trust

Free to post, honest on both sides

No fees, no cut

Posting is free and so is hiring. You agree the rate and the terms with the technician directly. Nothing sits between you.

In-date, or you'll know

Expired tickets are flagged before you shortlist. Nobody turns up to site with a lapsed qualification you did not know about.

Verified companies

Link your Companies House registration and confirm your email. Your posts carry the verified mark, and techs apply knowing the job is real.

A first post from a new company waits for a quick human check before it goes live. Posts that ask for money, or that technicians report, come down.

Questions companies ask

Does it work for a one-off job next week?

Yes. Pick "days", set the start and the number of days, the rate and what you need. Techs near the site with the right level hear about it within the hour.

Can I use it on a laptop?

Yes. The company side has a proper desktop layout at company.cowstail.app, and the same account on the phone.

What happens to applicants I do not pick?

You tell them with one tap. When the job is filled, mark it filled and the post closes for everyone.

Can I bring my own technicians in?

Yes. Invite your staff from the Team tab. They keep their own Cowstail account and you see their tickets and availability.

Your next crew is already here

Post the job free and let the wallet do the sifting.
