The hands your production line runs on

Certified welders and machinists, ready to deploy where the work is.

Your production line is gated by
headcount, not capital

New awards and rate increases demand skilled hands your local labor market can't supply. Overtime is burning out your FTEs, local temp agencies send the same shallow pool, and every unfilled machinist seat pushes your program schedule right.

Fewer than 1 in 2

aerospace & defense executives are confident they could double production within 18 months, and they name skilled labor as the primary constraint.

Founder, Techsensus Trades
6+ years in federal contingent staffing

We've spent six-plus years deploying W-2 contingent workforces into federal facilities, a compliance environment stricter than most commercial ITAR floors, and built AI recruiting infrastructure that sources and engages travel-contract professionals at scale. Techsensus brings that same operational backbone to the defense and space production floor, where the skilled-trades shortage is now the binding constraint on American manufacturing capacity.
