The Problem
"If we leave, this town loses one of its biggest employers. But I can't run machines with job postings that bring me a bunch of unqualified resumes and candidates that don't show up for interviews…and with 40% turnover the bleeding doesn't stop."
Manufacturing CEO, Argos, Indiana · SlateUp Customer
For Employers
40–65%
Turnover rate across critical infrastructure sectors. Manufacturing averages 40%, construction 57%, transportation 55%. Job boards send noise. Every unfilled shift is lost production.
For Workers
44%
of American workers earn $16/hr or less. Not for lack of ambition, but because the system has no on-ramp. No career path. No visibility. No way up.

Why Now
America's critical infrastructure is expanding. The workforce isn't keeping up.
The CHIPS Act and IRA are driving trillions in new investment across manufacturing, energy, and construction. But these sectors can't scale without people. The existing hiring infrastructure wasn't built for this moment. SlateUp is.
Reindustrialization Wave
CHIPS Act ($280B), IRA ($370B), and record private capital are driving unprecedented demand for industrial talent.
Workforce Crisis
3+ million jobs go unfilled each year across manufacturing, construction, and healthcare. Traditional hiring infrastructure produces noise, not results.
Technology Finally Ready
AI-powered matching, government API access, and mobile-first design make it possible to reach workers who were previously invisible.
