Why should my company use TradesFactor?
Find the Talent and Skills You Need When you Need It
TradesFactor was built specifically for skilled workers and the organizations that employ them. Minimize the noise you get from unqualified applicants. Know that the worker you find in TradesFactor has been vetted by previous co-workers, supervisors, and companies. Because TradesFactor was built for skilled workers, you can easily filter for the trades, skills, and experience you are looking for. No more sorting through awful resumes to understand whether a worker has what you need.
Qualify Applicants
When you get applicants from Indeed and other generic sources, you don't know whether that applicant is worth your time to assess. So, you end up spending time filtering out all the unqualified applicants manually. With TradesFactor, you can be confident that an applicant has specifically identified their trade, their skills, their RELEVANT experience, and has the recommendations to support their claims of having specific skills. You can direct your applicants to get two recommendations at TradesFactor.com so you can weed out unqualified applicants.
Minimize Disruption from Worker Turnover
Many times, skilled workers will leave a project or job right before their scheduled end of assignment date because they do not want to experience a break in income. So, they look for and take the next job before they are done with yours. This is highly disruptive. With TradesFactor, skilled workers have visibility to their next job and can manage transition dates for themselves, their current employer, and their next employer. This minimizes disruption for all parties.
Manage Worker Assignments
Like workers managing their current and future employment, companies can gain better visibility to worker project/job transitions. If you are managing assignments in a spreadsheet, with all of the risk for data entry errors, TradesFactor is the better solution.
