Our Mission
Bring trust and transparency to trade hiring
TradeHire exists because the trades hiring process is fundamentally broken. General job boards were not designed for industries where credentials are state-issued, legally required, and directly tied to the scope of work a person can perform.
We founded TradeHire on a simple belief: licensed tradespeople deserve a platform that treats their credentials as the serious professional qualifications they are. A Master Electrician who passed a grueling licensing exam and has maintained their license in good standing should not be competing on the same generic platform as someone who wrote "electrical experience" in a resume summary.
TradeHire is a five-sided marketplace — connecting technicians, employers, property owners, contractors, and real estate agents through a single verified network. Each side benefits from the others: homeowners post projects, contractors bid on them, technicians find employment, employers access verified talent, and real estate agents get AI-powered inspection analysis tied directly to qualified repair professionals.
Our platform validates every credential against official state licensing records, protects identity until users choose to engage, and gives every side the data they need to make informed decisions. That is what trust and transparency look like in trade hiring.
Credentials Matter
A state-issued trade license represents years of training, testing, and demonstrated competency. TradeHire was built on the belief that those credentials deserve a platform that recognizes and verifies them — not one that treats a licensed Master Electrician the same as an applicant with a bullet point on a resume.
Privacy Is a Right
Skilled tradespeople should be able to explore their options without broadcasting that fact to every recruiter, competitor, and current employer who might be watching. We built privacy into the foundation of TradeHire — not as a feature you have to opt into, but as the default.
Transparency Builds Trust
Both sides of every hire deserve accurate information. Employers need to know that the license on a profile is real. Technicians need to know what their skills are worth in the current market. TradeHire surfaces both.
Built for Maine First
Maine has a distinct trades ecosystem — seasonal demand, rural geography, and a licensing system that does not always map neatly to national platforms. We launched in Maine because we understand it, and because local trades deserve a platform that was designed with them in mind.
