Hi, this is the sortiva screening assistant calling on behalf of Ridgeline Heating and Air.
I'm an AI assistant and this call is being recorded so a hiring manager can review it.
Is this Marcus? Yeah, uh, this is Marcus. Great. Thanks for picking up Marcus. You applied for
the HVAC service technician position. Do you have about five minutes for a few quick questions?
Yeah, yeah, I got a few minutes. I'm on my lunch break, so now's good.
Perfect. To start, how many years of hands-on experience do you have working on residential
or light commercial HVAC systems? Um, about six years. The first two I was a helper with a company
across town and then I got my own truck, so four years running calls by myself.
Mostly residential, some light commercial, rooftop units, that kind of thing.
Thanks. Do you hold an EPA 608 certification and if so, which type?
Yeah, I've got the universal. Got it, uh, back in 2019.
Got it. Universal EPA 608, you said 2019. Do you also hold a state HVAC license or are you working
toward one? Not a full license yet. I'm, uh, I'm signed up to test in the spring. Right now,
I work under my company's license. Understood. This position includes a company truck and
occasional on-call weekends. Do you have a valid driver's license and are you comfortable with that
schedule? Yep, clean license and, uh, on-call's fine. I just, I'd need to know the rotation ahead of
time because I got two kids. That's helpful to know. I'll note it for the hiring manager.
Last question. When could you start if you were offered the position? I'd have to give two weeks
notice. So about two weeks. Thank you, Marcus. That's everything I need. I'll send your answers
to the hiring manager who will review them and follow up with you directly. Have a great rest of
your day. All right. Thanks. You too.
