How KinTrades Works

Skills-First Profiles

Workers showcase their trade skills with photos, videos, and structured profiles — no resumes. Employers see real work, not paper.

Smart Matching

Our 9-factor algorithm scores every match on skill fit, certifications, location, availability, and reliability. The best candidates surface first.

Reliability Scoring

Every worker earns a 5-factor reliability score — credential verification, work history, response rate, and more. Know who's going to show up.

Benefits Automation

When an offer is extended, KinTrades identifies eligible hiring incentives and automates the paperwork — pre-filled IRS forms, deadline tracking, and email reminders so employers never miss a filing window.
