Development of a Cross-Platform Mobile App for Connecting Skilled Contractors and Employers in the Construction Industry

Construction companies and skilled workers currently face difficulties in efficiently finding and verifying suitable job matches. The lack of a centralized, reliable platform results in time-consuming recruitment processes, limited transparency, and suboptimal utilization of available talent. Additionally, contractors seek secure, scalable solutions to streamline job postings, qualification verification, and communication, especially in a geographically expansive market.
