Hiring without the panic: a funnel that finds people who turn up
One resignation and your week falls apart. You’re back on the tools, covering shifts and posting another job ad at 10pm. A hiring funnel for hiring cleaners finds good people for you, screens out the no-shows and only puts serious applicants in front of you.
If this is your week, you’re not alone. I’ve been there.
- 01“I post a job ad, get 80 applications, and most of them don’t even read it.”
- 02“People book interviews and don’t turn up.”
- 03“I only hire when I’m desperate, so I end up hiring the wrong people.”
- 04“Training every new starter myself is exhausting, and the quality still varies.”
What your week looks like after.
New starters all get the same onboarding and training, so the work stays good as you grow and you stop being the bottleneck. Hiring becomes something that runs quietly in the background, long before you’re desperate.
I built this system the hard way, staffing my own cleaning and tiling businesses through years of trial and error. Now you get the version that works, without the years of guesswork.

I didn’t learn this from a course. I learned it by actually going through it, running my own service businesses through years of trial and error: quotes at midnight, missed calls and systems that broke before they worked. Every lesson is built into what we make for you. Now I’m handing you the shortcut.
Shania Gladwell, founder of Growth by Aetos
“Honestly I’m beyond grateful for all your help, guidance and support throughout this whole process… genuinely the best experience.”
“They set up my website and system for Greater West Cleaning Services, based in Sydney, and they did not disappoint! They really took the time to understand me, my vision and what I wanted for my business, right down to the very last detail. Their ongoing support and check-ins have meant so much to me.”
“Since getting everything set up, my business has been running so much more efficiently. With the baby arriving soon, it’s a huge relief knowing I don’t have to answer every phone call. Appointments are booked automatically, even while I’m asleep, which has taken a lot of stress off my plate.”
“Having our emails built out properly has saved us so much time. New inquiries, on-boarding, reviews, re-booking and old customers are no longer completely dependent on someone remembering to send something.”
“Shania and her team demonstrate exceptional care and diligence in their service. If you need help with organising a new website, automations and funnels, contact AETOS. 100% recommended.”
“Before working with Shania and the team, I found AI tools confusing and wasn’t sure where to begin. They made the entire process simple, easy to understand, and stress-free. Everything was set up smoothly…”
“They helped me all the way … and created systems that fit my business. 10/10 recommend.”
“Their instant quoting system is easy to use and has made managing enquiries and sending quotes much easier and more efficient for our cleaning business. What I appreciate most is their excellent customer service. The team is friendly, approachable, and always easy to communicate with.”
“Starting a business can feel overwhelming, but having people you can comfortably ask questions and turn to for support makes such a difference. What means the most is that they check in on me and my little one too. That personal touch goes a long way.”
“Great open transparent communication and they have been able to work around our families medical needs. Also they bring all their own equipment and products and ask each week if there is anything else they could be improving on. 5 stars all the way!”
“With 2 small children we really appreciate a good clean and Beskar do an amazing job, they’re efficient, thorough and friendly. Also the communication has been excellent with prompt phone calls for any changes needed.”
“We have been using Beskar Cleaning for over 1 year now and they are a professional and reliable cleaning service. They clean our house once a fortnight which helps us stay on top of our cleaning. Would highly recommend.”
“They were on time, professional and did a great job. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a cleaner for their home. Happy to use them again.”
Brand → website → instant quoting → automations → growth.
More jobs need more good people. In the Aetos recipe (brand → website → instant quoting → automations → growth), a hiring funnel is what lets you say yes to the extra work your website and marketing bring in. Each piece works on its own. Built in the right order, they feed each other, and growth stops feeling like luck. Your brand matters here too. Good staff want to work for a business that looks like it’s going places.
QuestionsFrequently asked questions.
Does this work for contractors as well as employees?
Yes. We set up the funnel and paperwork for whichever model you use. Please check your obligations with an employment adviser in your area.
Will it work in my country?
Yes. We build hiring funnels for businesses in Australia, the US, Canada and the UK, and change the job boards and wording to suit.
How does screening work?
Applicants answer a few key questions about availability, transport, experience and right to work. Anyone who doesn’t meet your must-haves gets a polite automatic reply, so you only spend time on serious people.
Can you build the training course too?
Yes. We turn your standards, checklists and videos into a simple online course your new starters finish before their first shift.
I’m not hiring yet. Is it too early?
It’s the best time. Build it before you’re desperate and you’ll hire better when the time comes.
Can I make changes?
Yes. Every build includes rounds of revisions, and it's customised to the outcome you're after.
