Leveraging Ai To Streamline Construction Hiring

Construction hiring is broken. Job boards waste time and money with endless postings, unqualified resumes, and unreliable candidates.

During his career, Fraser Patterson has been a skilled trade, general contractor, educator, mentor, executive and repeat contech founder.

In 2021, he founded Skillit, the world’s first data-driven platform dedicated to helping general and specialty contractors intelligently source and connect with America’s fastest-growing database of vetted craft workers. As a venture-backed startup, Skillit is on a mission to use data to fix the skilled labor shortage globally.

Before SKillit, Fraser was the Co-founder and CEO of Bolster, a tech-enabled general contractor that was acquired by Porch Group (NASDAQ: PRCH) in 2017.

Fraser began his construction career as an apprentice carpenter in Scotland before starting his own general contracting firm in London.

He currently lives in New York with his wife and two children.
