Nationwide Trade Source places permanent industrial and skilled-trades workers for US employers. We know the difference between a journeyman and a master, between a TIG ticket and a stick rod, between a foreman who runs the crew and one who runs his mouth.
"They sent us pre-screened welders, every one with current tickets and clean MVRs. We hired the second guy off the shortlist and he is still on shift a year later."
We talk shop. We check tickets. We send the right hand for the right job, the first time.
Every consultant on our desk has a trades background or has worked alongside one for years. We understand the difference between a 6G welder and a flat-and-horizontal hand, between a high-voltage industrial electrician and a residential sparky.
Every candidate we send arrives with current tickets and certifications verified, references contacted, background and drug-screen status confirmed where applicable. No surprises on the first day.
Every direct-hire placement carries a free replacement window. If a hire walks off the job or fails screening inside the agreed period, we run the search again at no charge.

Four steps. Trades recruitment without the talk-show.
30-minute call. Tickets required, screen pre-conditions, shift pattern, pay rate, project timeline. Written brief back to confirm.
We work our network of vetted tradespeople. Tickets, references, MVRs and screen-readiness checked before introduction.
Three to six pre-vetted candidates with our notes. Pay expectations, availability, nearest jobsite, certifications attached.
We coordinate the offer, the screen, the orientation paperwork. Day-7 and day-30 follow-ups confirm they are still on the job.
Nationwide Trade Source is a US recruitment partner focused on permanent placements in industrial and skilled-trades roles. Every candidate we introduce is direct-hire, salaried or hourly, on your payroll the day they start. We do not run a temp desk. The talent we work with wants steady work, fair pay and a manager who runs a tight crew.
The trades hire differently. The right candidate is the one whose tickets line up with the work, whose history shows up on Google with no red flags, and whose references say they show up sober and on time. We check all three before a name reaches your desk.
Our network spans the full lower 48 with strong coverage across the Midwest, Texas, the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic. Project work in the Mountain West and West Coast is supported through our consultant network. If we cannot fill a role inside your timeline, we tell you on the first call.
Every direct-hire placement carries a free replacement window. If a hire leaves, fails screen or walks off inside the agreed period, we re-run the search at no charge. Window is usually 60 days for trades and 90 days for foremen and supervisors.
