Propel People, an AI-enabled recruiting platform built specifically for the construction sector, has been selected as a Constructech Top Product for 2026, underscoring its growing role in addressing the industry’s skilled labor gap. The expert-judged award recognizes the platform’s practical impact on workforce management across residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects, positioning Propel People as a key technology partner for small and mid-sized contractors that lack sophisticated HR systems.
CEO Dexter Bachelder said the company is targeting a hiring problem that costs the construction industry more than $10 billion annually, with roughly 90 percent of contractors reporting difficulty filling roles, which in turn drives delays and higher costs. Propel People is expanding beyond a point solution into a broader ecosystem by integrating with trade associations, apprenticeship programs, and industry partners, while its AI and mobile tools automate resume screening and candidate communication and help overcome common barriers such as unqualified applicants and language gaps, supporting more efficient project delivery and potentially improving margins for contractor customers.
