Build the Next Generation of Installers

Jumpstart Logo

Jumpstart is TradeTap’s workforce pipeline designed to connect trained, entry-level installers with companies looking to hire.

By bridging the gap between training and real-world opportunity, Jumpstart helps new talent enter the industry the right way, while giving companies access to motivated, developing professionals ready to work.

A Workforce Pipeline Built for
the Trades

The flooring industry doesn’t lack workers—it lacks visibility into who is trained, ready, and capable of growing. Jumpstart solves that problem. It connects installers who are ready to begin their careers with companies looking to bring on new talent.

Every Jumpstarter has a Verified Trade Index profile, ensuring that even entry-level installers have a foundation of verified training and experience.

Subscribed companies can connect directly with installers, start conversations, and make offers to bring new talent onto their teams.
