New Feature

Mentor Matching

Apprentices and journeymen often need a master's sign-off to move up — but most masters are already busy, and most workers only know the people at their own shop. TradeHire lets you search statewide and reach out to qualified masters for a small $5 fee.

The fee ensures masters only receive messages from serious professionals — not mass outreach.

Long-term Value

Why stay on TradeHire even when you're employed?

Shop without leaving

Browse better opportunities while you're still working. No public profile. No contact information exposed. No notification to your current boss.

Know the going rate

See what comparable shops in your area are actually paying. The going rate is your strongest bargaining chip the next time you ask for a raise.

Grow your career

Apprentices grow into journeymen. Journeymen grow into masters. Drivers gain endorsements. Workers add licenses. TradeHire follows your career — not just your next job search.
