How to
get picked.

Ten things that actually move your score, each tied to how the matcher works, with a link straight to the spot in your profile.

10 tips

Do these.
Out-rank the province.

Impact is how much of the 100-point match score, or your profile strength, each one controls.

  1. Keep your availability current

    High impact · 18 pts

    “Looking now” is worth the full 18 points; “not looking” caps your whole score at 30. Finishing a job? Set the date you're free. A date before the posting's start still scores full marks.

  2. Add every ticket, with its expiry

    High impact · 14 pts

    Required tickets are a hard gate and 85% of the certification score. An expired ticket scores zero, and the breakdown says “expired” so you know to renew. We remind you 60 and 14 days out.

  3. List 4+ skills with an honest level

    High impact · 25 pts

    Skills are the single biggest factor. Pick from your trade's list and mark each one: can help, can do on my own, can lead. Employers filter on the level.

  4. Say where you'll work

    High impact · 20 pts

    Same community scores 20, same region 18, a region you've ticked 16, willing to travel or camp 11. Nothing ticked outside your home region means zero for every job elsewhere.

  5. Add at least one past job

    Medium · +8 strength

    Experience level is scored from what you tell us, but employers open profiles that show a real site, a real employer and dates. One entry is enough to start.

  6. Write, or generate, a two-line summary

    Medium · +8 strength

    Tap “write it for me” and the AI drafts a summary from your profile; edit it in your own words. It's the first thing an employer reads on your card.

  7. Add a photo

    Low · +2 strength

    Not required and never used in scoring, but a real face on a card gets opened more. A job-site photo in your gear is perfect.

  8. Respond fast

    High impact · 48-hour window

    The best trades workers are hired within 48 hours. When an employer messages or invites you, a same-day reply keeps you at the top of their pipeline.

  9. Keep your profile active

    Medium · sort order

    Employers can sort by recent activity, and the default search puts recently-active profiles first. Opening the app, updating a date, or replying counts.

  10. Get Fall Protection, WHMIS and First Aid

    High impact · most-asked tickets

    The three tickets employers ask for most (see the live numbers below). Fall Protection and First Aid are two-day courses from NLCSA-approved providers; WHMIS is a couple of hours online.

Scored for you

Anonymous by default

None of this
costs you your number.

Your name and number stay yours. Employers see your trade, tickets and experience until you approve them — so you can build the strongest profile in the province without your phone starting to ring. Even your resume has an anonymous version: same employers, dates and duties, no name and no contact details.

  1. They see the work

    Trade, experience, skills with levels, tickets with expiry, the regions you’ll work — under a code name like “Carpenter · 7F2A”.

  2. They ask

    One button, one short message. It lands in your notifications. Nothing is shared yet, and they can only ask once a week.

  3. You choose

    Four switches — name and photo, phone, email, full resume. Approve what you want, decline the rest.

  4. You can undo it

    Revoke access whenever you like and they go straight back to the code name.
