Construction labor, by name.
DirectCrew is a local trust network for the people actually doing the work. Workers build portable proof of the jobs they finish. General contractors build a reliable bench and a clear record of who was on each project. Clients see who did the work.
Early data is intentionally limited. We'll mark it clearly until enough verified local jobs accumulate. No fake reviews, no purchased leads.

The DirectCrew Trust Graph
DirectCrew gets smarter as real projects are documented.
Each job file can connect workers, contractors, clients, scopes, photos, milestones, change orders, delegation records, completion signoffs, reviews, payment behavior, referrals, and rehire outcomes. Over time, this creates better worker reputation, contractor reliability, client readiness, project risk scoring, and matching recommendations.

How signals combine
DirectCrew uses project records for decision support and trust-building. Scores and indicators are not guarantees.
The workflow
How DirectCrew builds a verified reputation.
Record the job
When a job wraps, a contractor adds a job record in two minutes: trade, client name, scope, date, and which workers were on it. No project management. No data entry drudgery. Just a receipt for the work.
Client confirms it
The contractor sends the client a link. The client clicks, confirms the work was done, leaves a rating and optional comment. One tap, no account needed. That confirmation is what makes the reputation real — not self-reported, but client-verified.
Worker gets credit for life
The named workers on the job get a verified, client-signed record added to their profile. Over time: 47 completed jobs, 4.8 average, vouched for by three contractors. That record travels with the worker forever, regardless of who employs them next.
No timesheets. No dispatch software. No payroll module. Just verified records of real work, signed by real clients.
See it in actionWho DirectCrew is for
Built around real construction relationships.
Contractors
Add your crew, record your jobs, send clients the signoff link. Every completed job builds a verified reputation for your business and for each worker who did the work.
Workers
Your reputation is yours. A verified job record follows you across every contractor you work with — private by default, shareable when you choose.
For workersHomeowners
Confirm a job was done well in 30 seconds. Your signoff becomes the permanent record that makes a worker's reputation real.
For homeownersReputation, when there's enough to show
A worker's record should belong to the worker.
Every client-signed job adds to the worker's portable record — and to the contractor's bench history. Reputation here is built from completed local work, not stars from strangers. Until enough verified jobs accumulate in your area, scores stay clearly marked as limited.
Preview — not a real worker.
Marco D. and the percentages below are an illustration of how a verified worker profile will look once enough client-signed jobs have been recorded. Early profiles will show real counts only.
Visible labor chain
Transparent delegation, not hidden handoffs.
Delegation is part of construction. Hidden delegation is the problem. Choose your policy and require every participant to be disclosed on the job file.
Direct labor only
No delegation. The accepted bidder performs the work.
Delegation with approval
Workers can delegate — but the client must approve every participant.
Open with disclosure
Subcontracting allowed, but every participant must be visible on the record.
