Episode 188-This episode is brought to you by DECCO--Ever wonder what the skilled trades hiring landscape really looks like behind the scenes? This week, I’m joined by someone who’s not just watching the evolution—he’s helping build it.
I sit down with Brian Drucks, founder of WhereTradesGo.com, the platform that’s quickly becoming the go-to digital hub for connecting skilled trades professionals with the employers who need them most.
Brian brings a sharp perspective on what today’s job seekers are looking for, how employers can modernize their approach, and why the skilled trades industry is overdue for a technological leap forward. We dig into everything from talent shortages and workforce pipelines to Brian’s mission to simplify hiring in a field where time, tools, and trust matter more than corporate buzzwords.
In this episode of The Build Zone Podcast, you’ll hear:
🔧 How WhereTradesGo.com is changing the hiring experience for both workers and employers
🚀 Why skilled trades professionals deserve the same digital tools and visibility as any other career path
📊 The trends Brian is watching for 2025 and beyond
🧰 And yes… a few stories from the trenches of building a platform for an industry built on hands-on expertise
Whether you’re in the trades, hiring for them, or simply curious about the future of workforce development, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
Tune in, get inspired, and maybe even rethink how you define “career pathways.”
