SteelMatch
Specialty construction recruiting intelligence

Hire the operators
other tools can’t find.

SteelMatch is a recruiting platform built for four specialty construction markets — water, renewables, tunneling, and modular. We surface the credentialed experts who aren’t on LinkedIn, check license reciprocity state by state, and show you exactly how rare each credential is so you can set real timelines with the hiring manager.

The only four

Four markets. Nothing else.

Generic ATS tools can’t tell the difference between a Class IV wastewater operator and a plumbing apprentice. They weren’t built to. SteelMatch is built for exactly these four talent markets because they’re the ones where credentials, scarcity, and reciprocity actually decide whether a project breaks ground.

We say no to everything else so the product stays sharp where it matters.

How it runs

One tool for the whole loop.

From the minute you publish a req to the minute the interview hits the candidate’s calendar, every move runs inside SteelMatch.

STEP 01Source & vet

Every candidate arrives pre-scored on the three things that matter.

The moment you publish a req, SteelMatch fans it out to every job board AND spins up a second engine against PDL, Apollo, ZoomInfo, scraped LinkedIn, and your internal DB. One click opens a full intelligence panel: credentials parsed and verified, reciprocity checked for your project state, market scarcity for each license, and an AI-written reason they fit the role.

  • 50+ specialty credentials parsed and cross-referenced
  • State-by-state reciprocity check with transfer timelines
  • Market-level scarcity ranking, not just candidate ranking

STEP 02Book without friction

Interview from the inbox you already use.

No new email address. No forwarding rules. SteelMatch plugs into Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, or any modern IMAP provider and threads every candidate conversation automatically. Calendar events sync both ways, so the interview is on the candidate’s calendar before they close the email.

  • Threaded conversations in the inbox your team already runs
  • Two-way calendar sync with Google Calendar and Outlook
  • No new tool for recruiters to learn or log into

Before the call

What buyers usually ask.

Short answers to what comes up before the demo. If your question isn’t here, bring it to the call.

Generic ATS platforms are built to process applications at volume. SteelMatch is built to find and rank the credentialed operators who never apply in the first place — the TBM operators, NABCEP-certified PV leads, Class IV wastewater supers, and BIM managers who make projects actually break ground. We understand licenses, reciprocity, and market scarcity at a level no horizontal tool does.
Yes, and that is deliberate. Water & Wastewater, Renewable Energy, Tunnel & Heavy Civil, and Modular & ConTech. These are the talent markets where credentials, scarcity, and reciprocity actually decide outcomes. We say no to everything else so the product stays sharp where it matters.
SteelMatch is sold as a one-time enterprise deployment — not a SaaS subscription. You pay once, you own it, and there are no per-seat fees, recurring bills, or surprise renewals. Pricing depends on scope and is discussed on the demo call.
No. SteelMatch plugs into the inbox your team already uses — Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Yahoo, or any modern IMAP provider. Candidate conversations thread automatically and calendar invites sync both ways with Google Calendar or Outlook.
Most firms are live within a few weeks. Because SteelMatch is a one-time deployment, there is no multi-quarter rollout, no migration team, and no per-user onboarding. You get the tool, we configure it to your four niches and your existing inbox, and your recruiters start scoring candidates.
SteelMatch aggregates from licensed enrichment providers, public credentialing databases, and targeted sourcing across the specialty construction labor market. We do not sell or share your pipeline data, and we do not train models on your private req history.
Yes — that is one of the core reasons the product exists. Every candidate profile shows whether their license will transfer to your project state, what the reciprocity process looks like, and roughly how long it takes. No more surprise blockers the week before an onsite.
Thirty minutes. We pull real candidate intelligence for one of your actual open reqs, live, on the call. No prep required from your side, no slide deck from ours — just the product running against a hiring problem you care about.
