Building America’s Future, One Skilled Craftworker at a Time
In an era where labor shortages threaten to derail major construction t imelines and industrial productivity, Tradesmen International has emerged as a national powerhouse. More than just a staffing firm, the company has become a strategic partner to America’s builders, manufacturers, and infrastructure developers, helping solve one of the biggest crises in the skilled trades: the labor gap.
Founded with a clear mission to deliver safety-conscious, highly skilled craftworkers across a variety of sectors, Tradesmen International operates at the intersection of tradition and transformation. The firm honors the legacy of American craftsmanship while leading the charge in workforce innovation, and their impact has never been more relevant than it is today.
Built on Safety and Quality: The Workforce You Can Trust
At the heart of Tradesmen International’s value proposition lies a simple but powerful commitment: only the best makes the team. Every craftworker who enters their ranks undergoes a robust multi step vetting process, including job specific screening, safety orientation, credential checks, and where applicable, drug testing.
Marty Wick, CEO
“We don’t just supply labor,” says CEO, Marty Wick “We deliver dependable professionals who are safety-minded from day one.” This deep commitment to jobsite readiness has earned the trust of industry leaders across sectors, from complex energy projects and commercial high-rises to shipbuilding and institutional facilities.
The result is a workforce that doesn’t just show up, it levels up project execution, safely and consistently.
Tailored Staffing for Every Sector
Serving a range of core industries, including Commercial Construction, Industrial Manufacturing, Marine & Shipbuilding, Energy & Utilities, and Institutional Facilities, Tradesmen’s strength lies in specialization.
Unlike traditional staffing models, Tradesmen International structures its field service and recruiting teams by sector. Each team is steeped in the intricacies of their vertical, understanding peak demand cycles, compliance nuances, and the subtle distinctions between a journeyman carpenter in healthcare construction versus one on a multi-family housing project.
“Our depth of experience in these industries means we don’t just provide workers, we provide the right workers,” Wick notes.
And with a database of over 2 million craftworkers, both local and travel ready, Tradesmen offers unmatched precision in workforce deployment, a true game-changer for projects with complex labor demands or remote jobsite locations.
Success at Scale: A Nationwide Footprint Built for Impact
Few stories illustrate the power of Tradesmen International’s model better than its partnership with a major window and door manufacturer operating across Minnesota and North Dakota.
Faced with local labor shortages that threatened to bottleneck production, they turned to Tradesmen. Leveraging its nationwide reach, the company mobilized over 165 skilled and semi-skilled workers from across the country. The outcome? A dramatic improvement in lead times, over 35,000 hours worked, and a notable increase in customer satisfaction.
This project, like many others, speaks to Tradesmen’s ability to deploy high-caliber teams wherever they’re needed, ensuring timelines are met, and standards are upheld.
Going Digital: Staffing Meets the App Economy
In 2023, Tradesmen International took a bold leap into the digital age with the launch of TradeGig, its proprietary mobile application. Designed to simplify the experience for field employees, TradeGig allows workers to browse job assignments, manage their credentials, and access essential placement information, all from the palm of their hand.
This digital shift aligns with broader industry trends, where mobile-first and tech-enabled platforms are increasingly expected by both workers and employers. The app is not just a tool for convenience, it’s a strategic investment in workforce engagement, retention, and transparency.
“Today’s workforce expects a seamless experience. TradeGig helps us deliver that,” Wick confirms.
Responding to Labor Market Trends
Across the U.S., the skilled trades industry is experiencing seismic shifts. With Baby Boomers retiring at accelerating rates and fewer young workers entering the trades, labor supply remains tight. Simultaneously, high-growth areas and rural markets are grappling with labor shortages, prompting a surge in demand for travel-based craftworkers.
Tradesmen International is uniquely positioned to meet this moment. Its f lexible workforce model allows clients to scale labor up or down without long-term overhead, while its national recruiting infrastructure ensures even the hardest-to-fill positions get covered.
“Scalability and flexibility are non-negotiables now. We were built for exactly this kind of market.”
Local Roots, National Reach
With nearly 150 local market service teams supported by a National Recruiting Center and over 7,000 travel-ready craftworkers, Tradesmen blends regional agility with national strength.
This hybrid model enables them to respond quickly to local needs while drawing from a deep bench of resources when specialized or urgent demands arise. For clients, it means faster turnaround, consistent quality, and a single point of accountability, no matter where the project is located.
“We’ve mastered the balance between national scale and localized service,” the company explains. “That’s our secret to consistent client satisfaction.”
Leadership that Builds with Purpose
Tradesmen International’s leadership team operates on three non-negotiable principles: Safety First, People-Centric Culture, and True Client and Craftworker Partnership. Every decision, from operational strategies to technology investments, is grounded in a belief that people are the most critical asset. Whether it’s ensuring safe work environments, empowering craftworkers with growth opportunities, or helping clients meet business-critical deadlines, the leadership ethos is clear: invest in people, and everything else will follow.
Their vision to be the “Destination Company” for both craftworkers and clients is more than a tagline. It’s the north star guiding every recruiter, project manager, and executive across the organization.
A New Era for Skilled Labor
In today’s volatile labor landscape, where projects often hang in the balance of skilled worker availability, Tradesmen International has become a cornerstone of dependability. Its blend of old-school craftsmanship values with new-school innovation positions the company as not only a vendor, but a visionary.
As America continues to rebuild, reindustrialize, and reimagine its infrastructure, it’s companies like Tradesmen International that will shape the future, one jobsite, one craftworker, and one partnership at a time.
