What you get
Real ticket verification
We confirm certifications and provincial registration — not just take the candidate's word for it. You won't end up with a 'journeyman' who's still in 3rd year.
Trades-first network
Our pipeline is built on referrals from working tradespeople in Ottawa, not just LinkedIn scraping.
Honest screening notes
You get a short summary on each candidate — what they've actually built, what tools they own, and where they're commuting from.
Contingency-based pricing
No upfront fees. You pay only when we successfully place a tradesperson, and we back it with a 30-day replacement guarantee.
Local context
The trades shortage in Ottawa is real — apprenticeships aren't filling fast enough and experienced journeymen are getting poached constantly. We exist because traditional job boards and generalist agencies don't speak the language of the trades.
