The Essentials, Answered.

LaborTrader connects skilled people and businesses with the people who hire them. Choose W-2 help through SkillCraft Staffing, independent contractors, or service businesses.

Oklahoma is scheduled to open in February 2027. Additional states will follow as local supply and demand are ready. Pre-register now and we will notify you when your market opens.

W-2 engagements start at eight hours, with a $200 minimum. Review worker pay and any provider charges in the engagement quote before agreeing to the work.

Workers, contractors, service businesses, and hiring organizations use participant registration. Clients have a separate project-owner path. Staffing and payroll providers use partner inquiries. Choose a participant role or pre-register as a Client or Project Owner.

We are building markets nationwide, with outreach focused on Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida. Markets open when there are enough people offering and hiring skilled work to make the marketplace useful.

You join the launch list for your role, specialty, and state. Basic pre-registration counts toward public signup totals immediately, including before email confirmation. Finish your detailed profile and required verification for free-use eligibility and launch.

Pre-register before launch for up to 90 days of eligible platform use: up to $500 for workers, contractors, and clients, or $1,000 for businesses and hiring organizations. Your benefit starts after verification and approval when your market and account go live. It ends when the time or cap runs out. There is no monthly membership fee. See launch benefit details.

Client accounts have no monthly fee. Pre-register before your market opens for up to 90 days of platform use, capped at $500, starting after verification, approval, and launch. After the benefit ends, job posts cost $10; any contract fee is shown before both sides agree. Provider pay and other project costs are separate. Read the offer terms.

Match by specialty, credentials, availability, location, and engagement type. Review the fit and agree on terms before work begins.

Contact checks confirm email and phone ownership. Professional credentials receive a verified label after manual review. Rates, availability, tools, and other profile details remain labeled as self-reported.

LaborTrader is the marketplace. SkillCraft Staffing provides the W-2 staffing path and handles the employment arrangement for those assignments. Independent contractors and service businesses use their own engagement paths. Other staffing providers can reach us through the partners form.

Each new account that joins through your link and completes verification adds 10 days to your eligible platform-use period. Your dollar cap stays the same. Referral benefits have no cash value. See referral rules.

No. Use marketplace pre-registration to join as a participant or client. Partner and investor inquiries start separate conversations.
