Why OpenData Labs

Built for the trades.
Backed by data.

01
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.
02
AI Built for Candidate Marketing
Heidi, Relay's AI recruiter, handles initial candidate qualification — so your team only talks to candidates who are already interested and pre-screened.
03
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."
