Inbound and referrals are great channels. They bring in warm candidates, convert well, and require less manual sourcing. But they only reach a small slice of the market. Outbound gives you access to the rest: licensed, employed, qualified tradespeople who aren't actively applying, but are still interested. The problem is outbound only works with the right data, systems, and scale. That’s where we come in.

Inbound (10% of the market)

- Small market

- Active interest

- High conversion

- No data sourcing required

Outbound (90% of the market)

- Big market

- Passive interest

- Low conversion

- Requires data and systems to scale

We’re a data company, not an agency.

Outbound only works when it runs at scale. That requires more than a list of names.

 

Wednesday combines proprietary skilled trades data with outbound systems built to source, enrich, verify, contact, and follow up with candidates at volume.

 

We’re not a traditional agency. We’re a data company building the recruiting infrastructure for skilled trades — and using that infrastructure to help staffing teams make placements today.

 

The Data

  • 1M+ licensed workers across 41 states
  • License status and location signals
  • Verified mobile numbers
  • Validated emails
  • Updated weekly

The Systems

  • Multi-channel outreach
  • Sequenced follow-ups
  • Thousands of touches per week
  • High-volume campaigns
  • Built for volume, optimized for response

This is why we can charge a flat fee.

$7,500 per hire. Not 20-30%.

We're building the data layer for skilled trades.

Today, we run outbound. Tomorrow, we power the market.

Wednesday is building the infrastructure skilled trades recruiting has been missing: verified worker data, market visibility, and systems to reach qualified candidates directly.

 

Running outbound for staffing teams is our wedge. It lets us prove the data, build with real customers, generate revenue, and keep improving the platform without relying on traditional fundraising.

 

For early partners, that means direct access to our outbound engine while it is still available as a done-for-you service.

Questions

Why is outbound underutilized in trades recruiting? +

Outbound has a lower conversion rate than inbound or referrals. It only works at volume—which requires clean data, multi-channel systems, and a tolerance for rejection. Most recruiting teams are built for inbound. They don't have the infrastructure for outbound at scale.

How is this different from a staffing agency? +

Agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary—often $15K-25K per placement. They're incentivized to fill roles fast, not build infrastructure. We're a data and systems company that runs outbound at scale. That efficiency is why we charge a flat $7,500.

How can you charge $7,500 when agencies charge $15-25K? +

We built the infrastructure. We're not manually sourcing candidates one at a time. We run automated, multi-channel outreach at scale—thousands of touches per week. Lower marginal cost per placement means we can pass the savings to you.

What does "outbound at scale" actually mean? +

It means reaching candidates across multiple channels—not just one. Sequenced campaigns that combine different touchpoints, timed strategically, and optimized for response. We handle the volume so your team can focus on conversations with interested candidates.

What's the 6-month guarantee? +

If anyone we place leaves within six months—for any reason—we'll find you a replacement at no additional cost. No questions asked.
