Arcoro HR Solutions for Electrical Contractors
Arcoro provides electrical contractors with specialized HR solutions that streamline hiring, license and certification tracking by electrician classification, payroll tailored to apprenticeship progression, and mobile time tracking with GPS, all designed to reduce compliance risks and improve coordination between office and field teams.
Power up your hiring and contractor operations
Arcoro helps electrical contractors find qualified electricians, manage licensing requirements, and streamline field operations with purpose-built HR solutions that reduce compliance risk while connecting your office and job site teams.
Solve electrical-specific workforce challenges
Track Licenses & Certifications That Keep Crews on the Job
Your electricians can't work if their certifications lapse. Track licenses by classification (apprentice, journeyman, master), document safety certifications (OSHA, NFPA 70E, arc flash, lockout/tagout), and capture daily toolbox talks—critical for high-risk electrical work.
Get Pay Right for Apprentices, Journeymen & Masters
Electrical contractors need pay systems that understand classification progression—not generic construction payroll. Set different rate codes by classification, track prevailing wage by job site, and integrate directly with Sage (100/300 CRE/Intacct), QuickBooks, Coins, or CMiC to eliminate double data entry.
Time Tracking Built for Crews on the Move
Your crews switch between job sites and phases all day. ExakTime's mobile app lets them clock in with GPS geofencing (even offline), switch locations and cost codes with a few taps, and capture photos and field notes to document work and safety conditions.
What electrical contractors are saying
"What stands out the most is how much Arcoro simplifies complex HR tasks. The onboarding module is especially helpful—it’s easy to use, and new hires can complete everything online without needing constant follow-ups. The platform is also great at helping us stay compliant with things like EEO and ACA requirements. Having everything in one place—documents, time tracking, benefits—makes our HR team’s job a lot smoother."
