Why OpenData Labs

Built for the trades.
Backed by data.

◈
Real Labor Market Data
We aggregate public records and industry sources to build wage and workforce intelligence that actually reflects what's happening on the shop floor.
◈
AI Built for Recruiting
Heidi, Relay's AI recruiter, handles initial candidate qualification — so your team only talks to candidates who are already interested and pre-screened.
◈
Trades-Specific Focus
Diesel, automotive, heavy equipment, and agriculture — we go deep in the verticals that generic talent & HR platforms ignore entirely.

"The skilled trades are facing a workforce crisis. The shops that win are the ones with better data."
