Construction Runs on People. So Do We.
We go beyond job posts. Our Employment Specialists actively source and match qualified tradespeople to your open roles. Real connections, not just applications.
Built for How Tradespeople Actually Work
Most tradespeople find work through word of mouth. Our Employment Specialists bridge that gap, helping them register, build a profile, and connect with your job posts.

We don't sit around waiting for applicants to show up. We meet them where they are, through social media, local talent banks, trade schools, and direct outreach, to get real candidates in front of your job posts.
More Than Just Email Blasts
Most tradesmen aren't refreshing their inbox waiting for the next opportunity. That's why we're constantly reaching out, finding who's looking, who's reliable, and who's ready to show up Monday.
Real people. Real support. Real results. The way the trades have always worked, but better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SkilledTrades.com?
SkilledTrades.com is a job board for the construction and skilled trades industry. Employers post local and per diem jobs, tradespeople apply with a TradeFile, and Employment Specialists actively source candidates for open posts.
How do I contact SkilledTrades.com?
Call (877) 232-2879, use the live chat on the site, or email [email protected]. Employers can also book a demo with our sales team.
Is SkilledTrades.com free for tradespeople?
Yes. Registering, building a TradeFile, and applying to jobs cost nothing. Employers pay for job slots.
What is a TradeFile?
A TradeFile is a tradesperson's free profile on SkilledTrades.com. It lists licenses, certifications, skills, work history, and years of experience in each work environment, such as residential, commercial, or industrial. It goes with every application, so employers can check qualifications at a glance.
How much does it cost to post a job?
A local job slot is $40 a month and a per diem job slot is $80 a month, with volume pricing from two slots up. A one-off post is $100 for a local job or $200 for a per diem job. The full ladder is on the pricing page.
Is there a contract with SkilledTrades.com?
No. Job slots renew month to month and cancel at any time. One-off posts have no recurring charge.
How is SkilledTrades.com different from Indeed?
Every job here is a trades job, the per diem rate is a field on the post, and a person sources for your opening. Indeed prices sponsored posts per click or per started application against a budget; ours is a flat monthly slot. You can post in both and compare the applications.
What is a per diem job?
A per diem job is a travel job that pays an allowance on top of wages to cover lodging and meals. When an employer posts one on SkilledTrades.com, they enter the per diem amount in its own field and choose whether it is paid daily, weekly, or monthly. That rate shows on the listing. Per diem jobs are open to traveling tradespeople nationwide, so anyone willing to travel for the work can apply.
What does an Employment Specialist do?
Employment Specialists actively source tradespeople through social media, local talent banks, trade schools, and direct outreach. They help tradespeople register and build a TradeFile, point them at matching open posts, and review slow posts with employers.
Where does SkilledTrades.com operate?
Across the United States. Jobs and tradespeople span all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the site serves US employers and tradespeople only.
What is skilledtrades.org?
skilledtrades.org is our nonprofit partner. It funds trade school scholarships and community outreach for the next generation of tradespeople.
GIVING BACK TO THE NEXT GENERATION
Our nonprofit, Skilledtrades.org, has one mission: to inspire the workforce of tomorrow. From trade school scholarships to community outreach events, your partnership drives real impact for the next generation of skilled workers.
