Digitized Hiring in Trades

The Problem

The skilled trades hiring stack is broken.

Slow, Inconsistent Hiring

Finding qualified labor is slow and inconsistent. Businesses lose time and money chasing leads that don't convert.

Disconnected Tools

Verification, scheduling, and payments happen in disconnected tools—or don't exist at all. No single system of record.

🔧

No Reliable Crews

One-off lead marketplaces don't create reliable crews. Every job starts from scratch with zero continuity.

"Homeowners often struggle to find reliable contractors and assess the quality of work."

— Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies
