Tradesmen International

What Tradesmen International does

Tradesmen International, LLC is a privately held US construction and skilled labor staffing agency headquartered in Macedonia, Ohio, founded in 1992. The company provides outsourced electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC technicians, ironworkers, masons, millwrights, riggers, shipbuilders, and other craftworkers to non-residential construction, industrial, energy, shipyard/marine, manufacturing, and institutional contractors across all 50 states and Washington DC. Its core operational platform combines a centralized staffing infrastructure with nearly 150 local market service teams, enabling national reach with local execution. Differentiated offerings include the proprietary CORE+Flex staffing strategy, which helps contractors maintain lean core crews while flexing in contingent labor; no-cost labor productivity consultations; labor relations support; and OSHA training services.

The company generates revenue through staffing fees on a managed-services basis for skilled labor provision. Pricing is quote-based and varies by trade, skill level, location, and project duration; specific rates are not publicly disclosed. Tradesmen reported 5,568 active clients, 110,457 onboarded craftworkers, and 1,436,761 YTD hours worked on its website — operational scale sufficient to qualify for SIA's 2024 Largest US Staffing Firms list (which requires at least $100M in US staffing revenue). Supporting offerings include the Tradesmen+ points-based rewards program, a Mobile Alerts SMS job notification service, branded merchandise (Tradesmen Gear), and a specialized Data Center Staffing Services vertical. The company is led by CEO Marty Wick and, as of April 2026, has added Mallika Fawcett as General Counsel and Tiffanie Brinson as Chief People Officer. Distribution is primarily through a direct enterprise field sales motion supported by client and employee self-serve portals, and the company maintains a strategic co-sponsorship of the NCCER/ABC Craft Professional of the Year award.
