Juan · worker
Juan can do the job. His experience doesn't travel with him.
- 8 years
- of metalworking experience, without a useful CV
- From zero
- at every plant: he explains everything he knows again
- 61.6%
- look for work again within 60 days (170 of 276)
Talent is here. Connection is missing.
The work identity of the blue-collar worker
Workers tell us their experience by chatting on our webchat, Messenger or WhatsApp, no CV needed. We build their profile and your plant only gets the ones who qualify and live nearby.
- Live in production
- No CV for workers
- Always free for workers

The problem
The talent exists. The record of it doesn't.
María · plant HR
María gets many applications and few are useful.
- 50+
- applications in 12 hours; sometimes half don't qualify
- Mixed data
- each applicant arrives via WhatsApp or Facebook with different information
- No trail
- she can't tell at which step each candidate drops off
AI recruiting tools read CVs. Juan has no CV. So we build it with him, from his conversation.
Juan and María are representative cases. The 61.6% comes from the platform as of Oct 19, 2026; the 50+ applications from a Talento Local survey in October 2026.

14,361 plants with 51+ people in Mexico.
Why now
Nearshoring keeps opening plants
Every new plant needs hundreds of workers, and needs them fast.
AI recruiting reads CVs
Blue-collar workers don't have one. No one is building their record from what they can actually do.
Workers already live in chat
Messenger, WhatsApp and the phone browser: they're already there, nothing to download.
