​Skillit: The Construction Job Website That Works for You​

In the ever-evolving landscape of construction recruitment, traditional construction job websites often fall short in connecting employers with qualified craft workers to fill key roles, especially hard-to-find positions. Skillit emerges as a game-changer, offering all the benefits of a construction job website without the usual hassles.​

Effortless Hiring Without Job Postings

Unlike conventional construction job websites that rely on employers to post vacancies and wait for applicants, Skillit flips the script. Employers can search through a vast database of over 150,000 vetted craft workers, eliminating the need for job postings altogether. With a search engine built specifically for the construction industry and intuitive to detect intent, search queries will fill your pipeline with qualified craft workers instantly. This proactive approach ensures that recruiters find the right talent swiftly, without the delays associated with traditional job boards.​ 

With a typical construction job website, posting is only the beginning of the search. Then you wait for applicants and you have to sift through resumes to make sure they meet your qualifications. At Skillit, the search brings up qualified candidates that you can connect with immediately and skimming profiles on Skillit is much quicker than sifting through resumes.

AI-Powered Recruitment with Sam

Skillit's AI assistant, Sam, revolutionizes the recruitment process by automating candidate outreach, screening, and interview scheduling. Sam handles the administrative tasks, allowing recruiters to focus solely on interviewing qualified candidates. This also saves the recruiters time by not having to chase down qualified candidates with countless emails and phone calls. Sam handles everything once the candidate is selected. It even works on weekends when many craft workers are more available. This level of automation is unparalleled among construction job websites, streamlining the hiring process and reducing time-to-hire.​

Proactive Talent Acquisition

Traditional construction job websites operate passively, waiting for candidates to apply. Skillit, however, adopts a proactive stance. You don’t have to wait for anything. As soon as you see qualified candidates in your search, you can immediately reach out, either using Sam or directly calling or messaging the worker through the Skillit platform. This allows recruiters with the ability to contact excellent candidates right away and fill jobs quicker. 

If you run into a snag and the specific talent isn't readily available in one of Skillit’s active states, Skillit's worker acquisition engine actively seeks out and engages suitable candidates and pushes them to the search pipeline. This ensures that employers have access to the necessary candidates when they need them.​ Skillit is always acquiring new qualified workers, so even a few days can bring in more candidates to fill your roles. The worker acquisition process specializes in hard-to-fill roles, many of which you will not find on typical construction job websites. If you have a role you have had a difficult time finding, come to Skillit and let us find them for you.

Streamlined Candidate Evaluation

Sifting through countless resumes is a common pain point with many construction job websites and recruiting teams feel this acutely. Most construction job websites are not actually built specifically for construction, so they miss the mark on finding the best candidates. If your recruiting team has to spend all of their time sifting through resumes of unqualified workers, you have already lost time and money. 

Skillit addresses this by providing detailed, easy-to-review digital profiles for each worker, highlighting their experience, certifications, and skills. The site was built for craft workers and Skillit knows what questions to ask to ensure that a complete profile of the workers is available. This transparency enables recruiters to make informed decisions quickly, without the clutter of unqualified applications.​

Dynamic Sourcing Capabilities

Skillit's dynamic sourcing ensures that employers aren't limited to the existing database. If the platform doesn't currently house the required talent, it actively recruits to fill those gaps. This feature sets Skillit apart from other construction job websites, offering a level of flexibility and responsiveness that traditional platforms lack.​ 82% of Skillit’s workers are not found on job sites or anywhere else. So no matter how much searching you do, you will not likely find the same candidates as the ones you will find on Skillit. This is how Skillit is so good at helping recruiters staff hard-to-fill roles. We have unique value propositions that speak directly to craft workers and show them the benefit of a Skillit profile even if they’re not actively looking for a new job. Bring us your most difficult roles and let us work together to get them filled.

Dedicated Partnership and Support

Beyond being a tool, Skillit positions itself as a partner in recruitment. The platform offers ongoing support to ensure that employers maximize its features and achieve their hiring goals. The deep onboarding ensures that recruiters know how to maximize the platform’s capabilities and make finding quality candidates a breeze.

Additionally, our support does not stop at onboarding. If you bring on new members of your recruiting team, Skillit can train them to use the platform as well. If you’re having trouble with any feature of the platform, reach out to our customer success team and we can help you learn or if there is a bug or a suggestion, Skillit can build on it. Many of Skillit’s existing features came from customer feedback. Skillit wants the platform to work for construction companies and craft recruiters, so making the platform work for you is part of our partnership commitment. This commitment to customer success is a distinguishing factor not found among typical construction job websites. Skillit wants to foster a long-term relationship with customers and provide consistent and successful results.​

Accelerated Hiring Timelines

Time is of the essence in construction projects. Skillit's efficient processes enable employers to hire qualified craft workers within days, a stark contrast to the extended timelines often associated with traditional construction job websites. This speed ensures that projects stay on schedule and within budget.​ We have many examples of customers that are able to make hires within days (not weeks or months) of using Skillit. Given that our craft worker database has some of the best and most qualified candidates, it is important to strike fast to hire the best people.

Construction has a well-known labor shortage and the competition for the best workers is already happening. The difference is that early adopters of Skillit will have much more success accessing and hiring these qualified workers than those stuck in antiquated and traditional recruiting methods.

Skillit redefines what a construction job website can be. By combining proactive sourcing, AI-driven processes, and dedicated support, it addresses the shortcomings of traditional platforms and offers a comprehensive solution for modern construction recruitment needs. Hire better candidates, faster than the competition, without spending hours sifting through countless resumes of unqualified candidates. If you want your craft recruiting to run seamlessly and effortlessly, come to Skillit.
