About Us
Two Guys Walk into a Coffee Bar...
The idea of Local Trade Jobs started as a conversation between two friends, one a general contractor and the other a web developer. They were talking about how it was really hard for Trade companies to find good talent and that the current job search boards just weren’t cutting it.
To say the lightbulb went on for both of them would be a bit of a understatement…
