The workforce
machines can't replace
matched by one
that can think.

14% growth in SC manufacturing job openings last year
0 local staffing agencies using AI to fill shifts

Charleston's manufacturing sector is booming. Boeing, Volvo, defense contractors, the port. But staffing agencies are still running on fax machines and gut instinct. Workers wait. Shifts go unfilled. Money burns.

How it works
01

AI Candidate Matching

Post a shift need. Our system matches qualified forklift operators, assemblers, welders, and machine operators to your open positions within hours, not weeks.

02

Automated Outreach

Candidates get contacted via text the moment a shift matches their skills and availability. No more phone tag. No more no-shows discovered at 6 AM.

03

Workforce Intelligence

Attendance prediction, shift coverage analytics, and retention tracking. Know which workers are reliable before you need them, not after they don't show up.

04

Built for Charleston

We know the plants, the routes, the certifications. This isn't a Silicon Valley gig app dropped into the Lowcountry. It's infrastructure built for how Charleston actually works.
