“Thread brought us more quality applicants than we thought possible, and kept backfilling as we scaled.”
AGS Civil
“What we do is niche and operators are hard to find. Thread sought them out and vetted them before final interviews.”

Why Thread
We only do blue‑collar. Too many trades and operators sit unfilled while agencies push percentage fees and labour hire. We run social campaigns to reach the people job boards miss and place them permanently on your books — not as temps. That’s the whole business.
