Construction Hiring Software That Builds Crews Who Show Up
Discovered is a hiring software that adapts to how each industry hires.
For construction, that means helping contractors find, screen, and schedule skilled workers before a superintendent spends a minute on the wrong candidate.
Discovered helps you hire dependable construction workers who show up, work safely, and keep projects moving without relying on guesswork.
The Bid Is Won.
Now Who Is Going to Build It?
The backlog is strong, the start date is set, and the crew still has open spots.
A foreman position sits empty for weeks. The journeyman electrician you wanted takes the first offer that calls back. The project mobilizes short-handed, and the schedule absorbs the cost.

Where Construction Hiring Breaks Down
The Hiring Problem
The Operational Impact
Hard-to-find skills
The right trade experience is buried inside a pile of applicants.
Slow follow-up
Qualified workers do not stay available for long.
Expensive interviews
Field leaders lose time on candidates who should have been screened earlier.
Hiring under pressure
Urgency can turn “we need someone” into “we hired the wrong someone.”
Your hiring system should help you identify who belongs on the jobsite before they take up jobsite time.
