The network for builders
Skillit is the professional network for construction workers — 200,000+ members and growing by the day. Thirteen of America's 25 largest builders already hire through us. Our vision is to scale the world's craft, so anyone can build anything, anywhere.
Build things that matter. Build a life that matters.
Your skills should work as hard for you as you worked for them.
Every great project makes you more valuable for the next one.
For millions of young people, the path to the American Dream may not run through a university. It may run through a jobsite.
Some of the most important projects in America are creating extraordinary demand for craft skills. You should know what your skills are worth, where they’re needed and who’s willing to pay for them.
The teams Skillit source work on some of America’s most important projects, from ______.
When demand for your skills appears, it should come directly to you—in real time.
A Skillit profile means better opportunities can find you: better pay, better benefits, steadier work and employers who value what you do.
Our goal at Skillit is simple: never wonder where the next opportunity is coming from.
Every construction project ends. Your career shouldn't.
On data-center projects, Skillit’s data shows craft professionals earning an average of 32% more than comparable construction workers. But the real opportunity isn’t one data center, factory or power plant.
It’s carrying increasingly valuable skills from one ambitious project to the next. It’s working somewhere you’re safe, respected and valued for what you know how to do. Skillit makes sure craft professionals have a living record of what they’ve built, what they can do and what they’re capable of doing next.
Founded by a builder
9 out of 10 contractors say they can’t find the workers they need. Skillit is shifting the conversation from workforce scarcity to talent access.
I had been the skilled worker the industry fiercely needed but couldn’t see, and later the employer fiercely searching for workers I knew were out there. Construction, it turns out, isn’t fundamentally constrained by a labor shortage, but by a lack of digital access to the 95% it already has.
