Owner

I spent the last 25 years building the countries largest construction staffing company, Tradesmen International. I built the company from $25 million to almost a billion dollars in annual revenue, before successfully selling it twice to 2 different private equity firms.  I then left to start Wide Effect Talent Solutions, the nation’s premier headhunting and staffing firm for executive to blue-collar industry professionals.

 Given the current state of America's skilled workforce and the fact that fewer and fewer people enter the skilled trades every year.  I saw a need in the marketplace to help contractors build their core group of employees with a Direct Hire company that will recruit white, grey and blue-collar individuals to supplement their core workforce. Using proprietary AI recruiting technology matched with the industries top recruiters Wide Effect Talent Solutions is helping America’s construction, energy, industrial and marine companies upgrade the talent in their organizations so they can focus on what they do best, Building America.
