We’re on a mission to be America’s best matchmaker of craft labor and employers. This is no small thing. A lack of skilled humans doing the jobs robots can’t is one of our generation’s most burning issues.


Without remedy, our infrastructure cannot be improved, our transition to clean energy can’t happen, and our economy cannot grow. Robots won’t save us. Only skilled humans can.

As a carpenter and general contractor, I witnessed workers and employers struggling with a broken recruitment process. Each was stuck with low-quality information on the other, siloed tools and inefficient workflows.

It became clear what was missing: a solution designed specifically for skilled trade workers and construction hiring teams. It would accurately classify the characteristics of great workers (and employers) and use that data to put everyone in control of their own employment decisions.

Skillit is that solution. We make the hiring experience faster and smarter for skilled trades and contractors while building the infrastructure needed to help increase the world’s supply of skilled workers.

What We’re Up To


Skillit is on a mission to be America’s best matchmaker of craft labor and employers. By doing so, we will make skilled labor one of the greatest assets on Earth.

We’re creating the infrastructure for skilled trade hiring that enables fast, smooth and scalable construction recruitment globally. Skillit provides construction companies access to a rapidly growing database of qualified workers and a suite of worker-first hiring tools that use rich datasets and powerful algorithms to generate better recruiting, employment and business outcomes.

We are fortunate to have the support of the best investors in the industry (Bow Capital, Building Ventures, MetaProp, Holt Ventures and more). Join us and you’ll have the autonomy and resources to play a pivotal role in inventing the most innovative labor solution of the 21st century.

Our Values


Respect

We believe in people power and we demand respect for all its varied forms.

We believe that our full potential is only realized by the inclusion of diverse experiences, backgrounds and skills. The workers who risked life and limb to build our physical world were not a homogenous group. In order to continue empathizing with the workers and customers we serve, we try to walk in their boots whenever possible – in the field, on site, and at height.

Ambition

Without ambition, we cannot do justice to the brighter future every skilled worker seeks.

We are not afraid to take on big problems. We are striving to change the very nature of skilled labor and the way it is perceived in society. Workers have always been ambitious as well – about creating quality work and achieving the American Dream: to create lasting prosperity for themselves and their families.

Precision

We believe that precision is the path to quality work and quality data.

We are methodical in our work because we recognize that the tools we’re building not only require accurate, carefully collected data, but because they can literally shape the future of individual lives and of society as a whole.

Durability

We are focused on the long-term sustainability of construction careers.

We expect relationships to last, and that requires honesty, professionalism and reliability in ourselves, our workers and our customers. We help skilled workers find permanent opportunities, just as we are dedicated to Skillit’s mission for the long haul.
