Get more work. Build proof. Know who is hiring you.
DirectCrew helps independent workers build verified profiles, receive job invites, document completed projects, and earn reputation that follows them from job to job.
Why join as a worker
Built around the person doing the work.
Free founding profile
Build your DirectCrew profile at no cost. Founding workers stay free as the network grows in your area.
More visibility to GCs looking for help
General contractors in your area can find you by trade, location, and availability when they need crew.
Your reputation follows you
When you move between contractors, jobs, or seasons, your verified project history stays with you — not the company.
Upload proof of work
Add credentials, photos, completed project records, and vouches from people who've worked with you.
Be seen separately from the contractor representing you
Too often, the worker does the job and the company gets the credit. DirectCrew attributes work to the person who actually did it.
Control who sees your profile
Three visibility tiers — private by default, compare-only for personal benchmarking, or discoverable when you're open to new work.
See contractor reliability signals
As the local network grows, see payment behavior, scope clarity, and worker feedback on contractors before you commit.
Early workers help shape the local network
Founding workers directly influence how trades, ratings, and visibility controls work in your area.
Advanced recommendations and value-efficiency insights need verified project records first. Early profiles may have limited data, and DirectCrew will label that clearly.
Worker controls · in development
Your work history is yours. You control who sees it.
DirectCrew is built on a simple principle: a worker's reputation belongs to the worker. You decide who sees your projects, your ratings, and your stats — not your contractor, not the platform.
Private (default)
Only you and the contractors you've worked with see your projects and stats.
This is the default. You opt in to anything more.
Compare-only
See how your work stacks up against other workers in your trade and region — anonymously. Your data contributes, but other contractors can't identify you.
Personal benchmark. No one is looking for you.
Discoverable
Other contractors can find your profile when looking for crew. You're signaling you're open to new work.
Off by default. Toggle on when you're looking.
Visibility controls are in development. Founding workers will help shape the final design — your feedback during onboarding directly affects what we build.

Sample profile — for illustration only.
"Northbridge Builders" and the project / payment-reliability numbers below are a design preview of how a real contractor reliability profile will render. They are not from a real DirectCrew account.
Reliability profiles are built from verified platform activity and completed project records. Early profiles may have limited data.

The work is yours. The reputation should be too.
