Post. Search. Hire.
The job board and candidate search built only for skilled trades. Post a job for $99 a month — not $5,000. Search Red Seal-certified mechanics, electricians, welders and millwrights by ticket, keyword and location, with none of the LinkedIn noise. Built by a recruiter, for recruiters.
Nothing is built for the trades.
Indeed is $3,000 for five days — one client of ours spent $84,000 last year. LinkedIn Recruiter is $12,000 a year and getting worse. And neither is built for trades: search “mechanic” and you get everyone who ever stood next to one. You scroll past 285,000 people who never touched the equipment you need.
Bluebelt is the one place to post a trades job and search trades profiles — clean, cheap, and made for how recruiters actually hire.
Western Canada especially — Red Seal trades the general boards bury under everything else.
Post. Share. Search.
Three moves. The first two are free value; the third is the compounding payoff.
Post a job, $99/mo
Title, Red Seal ticket, location, pay. Takes a minute. You get a Bluebelt apply link to share — and every applicant lands straight in your pipeline.
Share the link
Post it on LinkedIn like you already do. Candidates click, apply in one tap, and land in your pipeline — and in the Bluebelt database you can search later.
Search the database
Filter by Red Seal ticket + keyword + location. Reach out through Bluebelt; if they're interested, you get the resume and the phone number. Clean, consent-first.
A search that's actually clean.
Every candidate tags their Red Seal / journeyperson ticket when they sign up. So when you search, you get only the people who actually hold it.
Filter by ticket
Red Seal HD mechanic, journeyperson electrician, B-pressure welder — pick the ticket, not a job title anyone can type.
Then by what they've run
Caterpillar. CAT SIS. VFDs, PLCs, MCCs. Keyword-search the equipment that matters — on people verified in the trade.
And where they are
Narrow to a region. “Red Seal HD mechanic + Caterpillar + Southern Alberta” returns exactly that — not 285,000 near-misses.
$99 a month. That's it.
Per seat. Flat. Monthly or annual (annual saves). We never raise it for the founding group.

Search the database — $99 / mo · coming soon
Search the owned trades database by Red Seal ticket, keyword and location. Names show; contact stays hidden until the candidate says yes.
Monthly or annual
Pay monthly and cancel anytime, or pay annually up front and save. First month free for the founding group.
Consent-first, both ways.
Candidates don't get spammed, and you don't waste outreach. That's the whole trade.
Two-way outreach
You message through Bluebelt. A yes reveals the resume. A no reveals nothing.
Verified tickets
Red Seal, journeyperson, C of Q — tagged at signup, so “verified” means something.
Pay-transparent
Every posting shows the pay. If the money doesn't fit, nobody wastes a call.
Contact protected
Names show in search; contact info stays hidden until the candidate says yes.
Canada-first
Built around the Red Seal system. US trades get their own signup path.
Frequently asked
What does it cost?
$99/month per seat to post jobs. $99/month to search the candidate database (coming soon). Monthly or annual — annual paid up front saves. That's it, and we never raise it for the founding group. If you make one placement, it's paid off for the year.
How is it cheaper than Indeed or LinkedIn?
Indeed runs $3,000+ for a few days; LinkedIn Recruiter is about $12,000 a year. Bluebelt is a flat $99 a month — roughly ten times less — because it's built lean and only for trades.
Is it only for skilled trades?
Yes. Mechanics, electricians, welders, millwrights, operators, pipefitters, instrumentation techs. That focus is exactly why the search is clean — no lawyers, no baristas, no 285,000 near-misses.
How do candidates get on there?
You post your job and share the apply link on LinkedIn, like you already do. Candidates apply in one tap, land in your pipeline, and build the database you can search later. The more recruiters post, the bigger it gets.
Do candidates pay?
Never. Candidates apply for free, with pay shown up front. You pay for the seat.
Red Seal only?
In Canada, candidates tag their Red Seal or journeyperson ticket at signup so search stays clean. The US has its own apprenticeship options — we branch the signup by country.
