Designed specifically for construction, manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture industries, Collars focuses on real experience, clear expectations, and better matches between tradespeople and employers.

“Most hiring tools weren’t built for how the trades actually work,” said founder and CEO Rocco Molfese. “We built Collars to reflect the realities of blue-collar hiring—where reliability, communication, and hands-on experience matter more than keywords on a résumé.”

A Trades-First Hiring Platform

Unlike traditional hiring platforms, Collars allows applicants to create visual profiles that showcase their work, experience, and skills through photos, visuals of completed projects, and personal introductions. Employers can highlight company culture, benefits, and job expectations upfront, helping both sides determine fit before time is wasted.

Applicants and employers set preferences such as pay, location, and industry. When preferences align, both parties can connect directly and start conversations inside the app.

The goal is simple: fewer no-shows, faster hiring decisions, and stronger long-term working relationships.

Built to Address Ongoing Hiring Challenges

As many trades businesses continue to face worker shortages, Collars was built to reduce friction in the hiring process and move beyond résumé-based screening.

By prioritizing transparency and real-world experience, the platform helps employers spend less time sorting through unqualified applicants and more time connecting with people who are ready to work.
