When customers choose Trade Management, they leave the recruiting and administration of their construction personnel to us, freeing their time to focus on what makes their company more profitable: bidding and building.

While other companies emphasize sales and marketing, Trade Management has experienced unbelievable growth by emphasizing the need to find quality personnel for today’s construction and skilled trade workforce. That’s the reason we screen all applicants throughout every step of our recruitment process – from the initial phone call all the way through the interview and hiring stages.

We even go a step further, by employing a professional and dedicated recruiting department of highly experienced personnel with extensive construction and safety training knowledge. Supplemented with an extensive and continuous investment in advertising and other recruiting resources, Trade Management attracts an ever-growing supply of quality applicants to balance out our far-reaching recruiting capabilities.



In 2016, the collaboration of Donna Corlew (C*Connect), Frank Lippert (Go Strategies), and Kristi Pempin (White Hawk Engineering & Design) launched a research project on strategic teaming from both the prime and subconsultant perspectives. This team presented findings and, through live audience participation at industry events across the US, wrote the rules for better teaming. In 2022, the survey is relaunching to capture how teaming has changed considering the pandemic, talent shortage, supply chain, and economic impacts. 

Your input and guidance for writing the new rules for teaming 2.0 is needed. This survey takes about 30 minutes to complete and will set the stage for meaningful conversations at A/E/C industry events in 2023.

Thanks in advance for your time and willingness to participate. If you have teaming stories to share or need help accessing the survey, contact Donna Corlew.
