SkilledTrades.com: Changing How Contractors Hire Talent

In this episode of Business Ninjas, host Andrew Lippman chats with Ladd Schuiling, VP of Sales at SkilledTrades.com

Ladd brings nearly two decades of experience in construction recruiting and operations to explain how SkilledTrades.com is tackling one of the toughest challenges in the industry—finding and retaining skilled labor. From electricians to plumbers to CDL drivers, SkilledTrades.com is a niche job board designed specifically for tradespeople and the companies who need them. Ladd also shares how fixed-price job postings, a user-friendly platform, and real human support are changing the way contractors hire.

💡 A Human + Technology Approach to Hiring Tradespeople

Unlike broad job boards that flood employers with unqualified applicants, SkilledTrades.com combines advanced recruiting technology with a human-driven approach. Their employment specialists personally help candidates complete applications—capturing talent that often gets lost in the process. The result? A higher quality pipeline and fresh candidate pools that keep contractors’ crews growing. With budget-friendly subscription models, a growing national database, and outreach into trade schools, SkilledTrades.com is on a mission to not just fill jobs, but to elevate the skilled trades as a rewarding career path.
