Propel People and iHire partner to simplify construction hiring with seamless ATS integration.
Propel People has announced a strategic partnership with iHire to deliver a seamless applicant tracking system (ATS) integration that revolutionizes how contractors hire. This collaboration connects Propel People’s AI-powered recruiting platform with iHire’s 26-year industry-focused talent network, helping construction companies access skilled candidates faster and with less effort.
With iHire’s proven track record of building specialized talent pools across 57 industries, including over 1.4 million candidates in the construction sector, this integration ensures that contractors can find quality candidates quickly, streamline their hiring process, and keep projects moving on schedule.
Why the iHire and Propel People partnership matters.
The construction industry faces a historic labor shortage, and companies of all sizes compete for the same limited pool of skilled tradespeople. By joining forces, Propel People and iHire are solving two of the industry’s biggest challenges: finding qualified candidates and managing hiring efficiently. This integration helps small-to-midsize contractors compete on a level playing field with larger organizations while reducing time to hire.
Through this partnership, construction HR teams and business owners can:
- Post jobs directly from Propel People to iHire’s construction-focused network.
- Leverage AI-powered resume scoring to rank candidates by fit.
- Sync applicants automatically with ATS workflows, eliminating manual work.
- Access both active and passive job seekers to build a stronger pipeline.
Expanding reach beyond construction roles.
While iHireConstruction is a cornerstone of this partnership, the benefits extend beyond skilled trades. With access to iHire’s broader communities, such as iHireAdmin, iHireHR, and iHireSalesPeople, contractors can fill supporting roles like accountants, HR specialists, and sales professionals. Companies can grow their teams across the entire business, not just on the job site.
A smarter way to build construction teams.
The ATS integration between Propel People and iHire combines automation, industry specialization, and AI-driven insights. Contractors can meet candidates where they are, on mobile, in the field, or actively searching online, while eliminating hiring bottlenecks. The result is a faster, more innovative, and more reliable hiring process that empowers construction companies to build better teams for the future.
