TradeShare connects contractors with idle, certified crews to contractors who need them — today. Turn payroll liability into revenue. Turn a turned-down bid into a filled one.
Rarely both, never neither. The feast-or-famine cycle isn't a staffing inconvenience — it's the single biggest hidden cost in specialty trades.
"I just had to turn down a $75k job. I can't find a certified welder, and the temp agency sent me two 'general laborers' who are a liability on my site."
"I'm carrying $10,000 in payroll for my best crew, and they're sitting in the shop. I'm bleeding cash, and I know they're already taking calls from my competitor."
Toggle your side of the market, then drag the sliders to match your crew.
Every contractor uploads EIN, payroll records, and proof of insurance. Every employee's certifications are independently confirmed by TradeShare and a third party. You bring on an asset, not a liability.
Employers negotiate through encrypted messaging and lock in dates with built-in scheduling. Post a need, find a crew, deploy them to the job site — without leaving the dashboard.
Sort by certification, years of expertise, availability, and reviews from past borrowers. Find the right welder, electrician, or crew lead in minutes, not weeks.
