ToolBelt Helps Contractors Find Laborers With Just a Click of a Button

By Anna Lockhart.  

Modern technology, like the ToolBelt platform, is rapidly improving how information is shared across the industry, especially when it comes to finding labor solutions.  

In a recent episode of the MetalCast podcast, Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with the CEO of ToolBelt, Josh Engelbrecht, to discuss how ToolBelt is utilizing new technology to better connect contractors and laborers in a quicker and more reliable way than traditional online platforms.  

ToolBelt is a digital platform and mobile app that allows contractors to connect with other tradespeople in the industry. Networking traditionally could take a lot of time and effort and might only yield a few solid, trustworthy results. But ToolBelt provides only the information of certified individuals who are available to work and get the job done. Whether you are looking for work with a contractor or a labor crew, ToolBelt can get you connected!   

Josh discussed how ToolBelt works to help fix a major problem in the industry, the lack of a dedicated network for people looking for work to be found easily and recognized for their abilities. “For example, if I'm the best roofer in Scottsdale, Arizona and my wife gets a job in Seattle, how do I move and be found that I am good? With ToolBelt, you can have that profile as an individual installer and promote yourself. And we're big on everyone being inclusive and trying to make sure that everybody, whether you've had 40 years' experience in this industry or you're just trying to get started, you can be found on our platform.”  

Users of the ToolBelt platform can use it both from a phone app or web browser, so no matter when or where, users can easily search for reliable and legitimate opportunities. With this platform, contractors and laborers alike can promote their skillsets and past work experiences all in one place. ToolBelt provides users with a flexible and mobile way for individuals or crews looking to fill their schedules at any time, anywhere.
