Only on RoadTrades

Hire a Proven Crew in One Click

Travelers move as crews — a foreman and the hands who follow him job to job. It’s the unit of travel, and no generalist board models it. Here, every resume carries its travel party.

Crew Rosters on Every Resume

A foreman’s resume shows the whole roster — classifications, crew size, and how many assignments they’ve traveled together. Filter the Black Book by travel role and crew size.

The Crew Dossier

One client-ready view of any crew: per-member classifications, wallet-checked credential counts, whole-crew mobilization readiness, and a grounded AI read on the unit. Agency & up

Invite the Whole Crew

Staff the six-welder turnaround in one afternoon — one click sends your job to every member, one Black Book invite apiece from your monthly allowance.

Crew search and whole-crew invites on every plan · crew dossiers on Agency & Enterprise.

FAQ

Recruiter questions

What is the Black Book?

Our searchable pool of traveling tradespeople. Filter by trade, region, and credentials, then invite the ones who fit — every profile keeps its own certs, credential wallet, and availability current, so you see live data, not a stale resume.

How does recruiter pricing work?

Plans scale with your hiring — Starter, Team, Agency, and Enterprise — each with a pool of active job posts, Black Book invites, and Market Intelligence reports. Pick the plan that fits your desk and upgrade anytime.

What is Market Intelligence?

A client-ready report with federal wage benchmarks, GSA per diem, and the local labor market for any trade in any U.S. metro — so you price every offer and win bids with real data, not guesswork. Included in every plan.

Do you handle onboarding or payroll?

No — and that’s deliberate. RoadTrades is the connection layer. Once a tradesperson sends you their resume, your own onboarding, paperwork, and payroll take over. We never touch the employment relationship.
