When four friends in the trade industry had trouble finding qualified workers they asked, Chris Meaux the brainchild of Waitr, to come up with a solution. And what LinkedIn is for professional workers Meaux said BoomNation is for the skilled worker.
“Welders, electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, scaffold builders, those types of trades. BoomNation is the community for those trades,” said Meaux.
Meaux said the app is free for job seekers and it allows them to search for jobs and employers to post work opportunities.
“A worker would create a profile. They can connect with other workers in the community and then also put their employment history, and work certifications they may have,” said Meaux
In addition to allowing prospective employers to search worker profiles, BoomNation also has the ability for skilled workers to showcase their work and display photos of their greatest hits.
“So, it’s been really great to be able to match these workers, with the job opportunities and allow them to showcase the work,” said Meaux.
Meaux said they also want to build a community of trade workers and employers with Boom Nation in addition to helping them find work.
