About LaborTrader
Built to Keep Skilled Labor Moving.
LaborTrader connects skilled people and open business capacity with the demand that keeps them working.

Founder and CEO, LaborTrader Inc.
Built From Experience
The Labor Was There. The Connection Was Not.
Ben Randall brings 20 years of HVAC experience, including six years as an HVAC contractor and business owner. A two-time founder, his background spans building engineer and oilfield engineering technician roles, plus real-estate investing.
He saw the same costly disconnect: qualified people sitting idle while nearby businesses struggled to find help. Smaller companies relied on social posts, personal contacts, and costly staffing while larger firms captured more opportunity.
LaborTrader was created to give the people and businesses that build America a better way to find each other and compete.
