Ep 19: Tech To Connect Contractors During a Labour Shortage

August 25, 2020 · 27 mins

Welcome to Episode 19 of DirtStories. Hear from David Broomhead, CEO and Co-Founder of Trade Hounds about how his company is using technology to help contractors work smarter. The labour industry had continued to struggle to find new employees. Every year, the number of open positions in construction grows. Trade Hounds was created to help contractors connect with each other, to share their work and - as of this summer - start to connect those looking for work with those looking for employees. Often described as "LinkedIn for the Construction Industry", Trade Hounds is just one example of how much of an influence technology is having on this industry. It's changing the way contractors organize jobs, work safely and operate equipment. Dive into how technology is changing all aspects of the industry and how Trade Hounds is bringing contractors together like never before.
