When we talk about the most dynamic and sought-after industries that are making great revenues in the market space, we tend to forget about the most vital industries on which all others are based: the skilled trades. In this insightful interview, Mr. Tim Raglin, Founding Partner & COO at Skillwork, highlights how he and his dedicated team strive to bridge the gap in the trade and bring better opportunities for skilled labor.

Listen to the full interview of Tim Raglin with Adam Torres on Mission Matters.

Tim comes from a military background, having served as a Naval Officer. He credits this experience with teaching him the required skills for running a business.

Skillwork has identified a prevalent need gap in the skilled trades that impacted people like electricians, plumbers, and mechanics.

To create better job opportunities for skilled labor and effectively connect these trained people with prospective companies, Skillwork offers a promising future to individuals. Placing supreme emphasis on their culture, Skillwork lays laser-like focus on three core values:

• Honor God

• Impact those around us

The Trump Card

Skillwork focuses entirely on their culture, and zeroes in on recruiting efficient people who potentially add value at their workplaces. Their best-fit individuals are skilled craftsmen and women with world-class personalities, integrity, and skills. Ditching the traditional practice of mindlessly pushing individuals into the job pipelines, Skillwork gauges the factors that drive these skilled tradesmen along with their zeal to work.

Addressing the problems of industries like stagnant growth and employee burnout, Skillwork provides reliable solutions by helping firms onboard skilled labor for better results. Tim shares how they constructively filter and select only the right fits for organizations seeking electricians, technicians, manufacturing team members, construction workers, welders, and mechanics.
