Building the professional network for the skilled trades.
Brixl is an early-stage company. We're rolling out the relaunch of our app, built from the ground up for tradespeople and the companies that hire them.

The problem
Hiring in the trades deserves better tools
Good work is hard to show
A tradesperson's best work happens on site. A résumé alone doesn't show what they can do.Hiring is unclear on both sides
Applicants are left guessing where they stand, and companies sort through applications with little to go on.The trades need their own network
Office workers have professional networks. Tradespeople deserve one built around how they work.
Why now
Canada needs more skilled tradespeople
Construction is one of the country's biggest employers, and many of its workers are nearing retirement.
1.6 million
people work in Canada's construction industry, about one in every 13 working Canadians.
135,000
residential construction workers are projected to retire by 2035, more than one-fifth of that sector's workforce.
