For employers

Hire the crew,
not the resume pile.

Post in two minutes or search the registered NL workforce directly. Every match comes with its reasons: tickets with expiry dates, real availability, home community.

Pain → solution

Everything you hate about
the big boards, reversed.

We went line by line through why contractors give up on Indeed and the rest. Each one became a design rule.

  1. Pay-per-click, $500+ per qualified trade applicant

    One flat monthly price per company. Free while you're small.

  2. 70 resumes, one with the right ticket

    Hard gates. A posting that needs Fall Protection only takes interest from people who hold it, expiry date included.

  3. Surprise pay-per-application bills

    No metering. Your invoice is the same whether 3 or 300 people apply.

  4. Can't verify certs or licences

    Workers add each ticket with a photo and expiry. You see “Fall Protection valid to Mar 2027”, not a claim.

  5. Proactive search costs $120–$520 extra per seat

    Search the registered NL workforce by trade, level, home community and available-from date. Included in Pro.

  6. Lose good people in the week it takes to reply

    In-app messaging, one-tap interview slots and a 3-day reply expectation that keeps the pipeline moving.

  7. One role, one posting, no way to hire a crew

    Crew Finder: “4 carpenters + 2 labourers, Marystown, 6 weeks” as one call with N slots and a ranked list.

  8. No-shows, not skill, are the #1 firing reason

    Show-up history, employer ratings and real availability windows instead of a resume date range.

Pro · Find workers

Search the workforce.
No resumes to read.

Filter by trade, level, valid tickets, home community, travel radius and available-from date. Every result carries the same transparent score the worker sees on their side.

Workforce search: 316 workers match, 139 available now, each card showing trade, tickets, availability and a match score

Pro · Crew Finder

“Six carpenters in
St. John’s by October.”

One sentence returns a ranked list with a reason on every row, shows how many are realistic, and lets you invite the whole shortlist at once.

Crew Finder result: a ranked list of carpenters with scores and a panel showing where the pool narrows from 52 registered to 21 available by start

Free + Pro · Pipeline

Interested to hired,
in one place.

Drag candidates through the stages, bulk-decline with a kind template, book interviews in-app, and watch the 3-day clock on every applicant.

Candidate pipeline board with Interested, Reviewed, Shortlisted and Interview columns, each card showing a match score and the reply clock

Transparent by design

The worker sees
the same score.

Seven factors, weights that add to 100, no hidden ranking. When someone is a 62 because a Confined Space ticket lapsed, you both see it, and where to renew.

A worker's own match breakdown for a carpentry posting: seven factors with points out of a possible 100

Also included

The rest of
the toolkit.

  1. Pro

    Post in two minutes with AI

    Say it plainly. The writer drafts the posting, picks required skills and tickets from the catalogue and flags what's missing. You approve; nothing goes out you didn't read.

  2. Free

    Verified-employer badge

    Prove you're a real NL business once (business number, WorkplaceNL account or COR) and workers see the badge on every posting. It's why they trust the platform.

  3. Pro

    Analytics

    Views, interest rate, response time, time-to-fill, and where your applicants come from by region and trade, against the anonymized provincial pulse.
