  • Long agency processes mean projects stall for 12–18 months

How the matching algorithm works

Every candidate is scored 0–100 before you see them. You only see matches above your minimum threshold.

Trade match

Exact trade alignment — bricklayer to bricklayer, electrician to electrician.

Experience

Years in trade, project types, and specific skills match to your requirements.

Visa eligibility

Workers are pre-screened for D1 eligibility — criminal record, passport status.

Language level

Basic Spanish/Portuguese communication capability for on-site integration.

Quality at every step

We mediate every introduction. You don't get a candidate pool — you get a curated shortlist.

  • Every worker is verified

    Passport, criminal record check, trade certification, and experience validation before any company sees their profile.

  • Every company is vetted

    Business licence, tax registration, and employment history review. No company contacts workers until admin approval.

  • Every step is documented

    Introductions, offers, contracts, and visa documents are stored and tracked. No verbal commitments, no lost paperwork.

  • 60–70% placement success

    Industry average is 30–40%. Admin mediation, better matching, and full pipeline support drive our higher success rate.

One simple model. Pay only when we deliver.

Industry average: 25–35% of annual salary. Manomundi: 12–20%, milestone-billed. No subscriptions, no monthly platform fees.
