These are drafts built only from what you typed, so treat them as estimates of a good post, not a finished one. Check pay, overtime and hiring rules for your state and city before you publish. Short explanation, not legal advice.
How the post is built
- Title = the role, your company and your city.
- Pay = exactly what you type, with the pay type. If you leave it blank, the post shows a clear gap to fill.
- Duties = plain tasks for the role you picked.
- Requirements and benefits = only the lines that are ticked, plus your own lines.
- Safety and equal opportunity lines = added to every full post.
- Short and social versions = the same facts, cut down to fit a text or a social post.
How to write a tree service job post that works
Most tree service job posts fail for the same reason. They say "great pay" and "fast-paced team" and nothing else. A good climber or a solid groundworker has seen that a hundred times. They want to know four things fast: what the job is, what it pays, when they work and who they work with. Put those near the top.
Start with the role, not with you
Use the plain job title people search for: tree climber, groundworker, crew leader, bucket truck operator. Skip made-up titles. Then give your company name and your town in the first line. People look for work close to home, and a local name builds trust.
Show the pay
Type the pay you will actually pay. A range is fine if the job really has one, for example based on experience. Do not post a high number you only pay to your best person. If you hide the pay, good people scroll past, and in some places the law may require it. Check your state and city. This is a short explanation, not legal advice. If you are not sure what a hire costs you once taxes, comp and gear are added, try the hiring cost calculator and the crew day rate calculator before you set the pay.
Be honest about the work
Tree work is hard. It is outside in heat, cold and rain, it is heavy, and it carries real risk. Say so. A groundworker who knows they will drag brush all day stays longer than one who expected something easier. If storm call-outs are part of the job, say that too. If you offer overtime, say how it works, and only if it is true.
Keep requirements real
Ask for what the job needs and no more. A climber needs climbing and rigging skill. A new groundworker may need nothing but a good attitude and a way to get to the yard, if you are ready to train. If you require a license, a certification or a driving record, name it. If you will pay to train someone, say that. It opens your pool of people.
List only the benefits you give
Paid training, gear you provide, a path to crew leader, paid time off, and a steady schedule all matter to crews. But a benefit you cannot back up costs you more than it earns. This tool leaves every benefit unticked so you choose each one on purpose.
Put safety in writing
Every post made here includes a short safety line. Good people want to work for a company that takes safety seriously. Back the line up with a daily tailgate talk and proper gear. Our tailgate safety sheet and job site safety guide can help.
Make applying easy, then answer fast
Give one clear way to apply, such as a phone number that takes texts. Then answer quickly. Good tree workers get several offers, and the slow reply loses them. The same is true for customers. If your phone rings out while the crew is on a job, you lose both new hires and new work. That is where our services come in: text-back, an AI receptionist and follow-ups, so the office is covered while everyone is up a tree. See the pricing or get a free audit.
Where to share it
Post on your own website, your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, local job boards and trade schools. Ask your current crew who they know. The short text version is made for that last step. Read the post once out loud before you publish, remove anything that is not true, and check the local rules that apply to you.
Questions about tree service job posts
What should a tree service job description include?
The job title, who you are and where the work is, the pay, the schedule, the main daily tasks, the real requirements, the benefits you actually offer and how to apply. Add a plain line about safety. Keep it short enough to read on a phone.
Should I put the pay in the job post?
Yes, it is a good idea. People skip posts with no pay. Some states and cities also require a pay range in job posts. Check your state and city rules or ask a local employment adviser. This is a short explanation, not legal advice.
Why does the tool not suggest a wage?
Pay depends on your area, your crew, the work and your budget. A made-up default would be a guess. You type your own number, or a range, and the tool puts it in the post. Our hiring cost calculator can help you check what a hire really costs you.
Can I hire someone with no tree experience?
Many companies hire groundworkers with no tree experience and train them on the job. If that is you, tick the training line and say so in the post. Do not ask a new hire to climb, run a chipper or work near power lines until they are trained.
What requirements are fair for a tree climber?
Climbing and rigging experience, comfort at height, the ability to do hard physical work and a reliable record. State the certifications you require, if any, and say whether you will train. List only what the job truly needs.
What is the equal opportunity line for?
It tells applicants you consider everyone who can do the job, without regard to protected traits. Most employers include one. The wording here is a common plain version. Ask your own adviser if you need exact wording for your state.
Is the post I get legal advice or a legal document?
No. It is a draft written only from what you type. Read it, change it and check it against your state and local rules before you post it. Pay rules, overtime rules and driver rules can differ by state.
How long should a job post be?
Short is better. A full post of 200 to 300 words works on a job site or your website. A short text version fits in one or two messages. A social version fits a Facebook or Instagram post. This tool makes all three.
Where should I post a tree service job?
Use places your crew already is: your website, your Google Business Profile posts, your Facebook page, local job boards, local trade schools and word of mouth from your current crew. Ask your own crew who they know.
Is anything I type sent to Lirevon?
No. The text is built in your browser. What you type is only kept in this browser on this device so the form is filled in next time. Clear your browser data to remove it.
Hire the crew. Then fill it with work.
A bigger crew needs more booked jobs.
Lirevon sets up missed-call text-back, an AI receptionist, follow-ups and review requests for tree companies, so the work is there when the new hire starts.
