I have 20+ years of experience in the construction and construction-related service industries. Many of those in management and executive roles where I was responsible for overseeing the hiring of skilled tradespeople. Over the years, it has become harder to find and attract quality people to the trades. Our tradespeople are vital. They keep our infrastructure up and running. I jumped out of my (responsible) job to start Real Work to build a career management platform focused on the trades, to help support the industry now and into the future.

We’re building a platform for the trades called Real Work.

Our team has decades of experience in the construction and service industries. The problems we’re solving are problems we’ve experienced firsthand. From the challenge of finding and connecting with skilled tradespeople to the complexities of navigating local, state, regional, and national license and certification requirements.

Real Work is a comprehensive solution for both employers and workers in the trades. Real Work is built for employers to quickly find qualified workers based on specialized skills, licenses, and certifications. It's for established tradespeople looking for their next role. It's for the next generation of skilled workers looking for their place – full-time, seasonal, contract, or gig. Encouraging workers to expand their toolkit of certifications and licenses, to better support the industry and increase their earning potential.

At Real Work, we leverage our team’s knowledge with vetted data sources and machine learning, to provide clarity and ensure license and regulatory compliance for employers and workers. Giving them the knowledge and tools they need to support jobs where and when they’re needed.

We believe in driving quality, accountability, and excellence in the construction and service industries.
