What is Job Connector?

Summary

Job Connector helps subcontractors discover, request, and receive job opportunities directly inside BuilderPal.

It’s your entry point into finding work — whether you’re browsing open jobs in your area or responding to invitations from general contractors.

What Is Job Connector?

Job Connector is BuilderPal’s built-in job marketplace for subcontractors.

It allows you to:
• Find jobs posted by general contractors
• Request to bid on jobs you discover
• Receive direct invitations to bid
• Manage all job communication through bid conversations

Some features are available to all teams, and others are part of BuilderPal Pro.

How Job Connector Works

From the subcontractor side, there are three main ways jobs appear for you:

1. Public Jobs

These are jobs posted publicly by general contractors.
You can find them by searching inside Job Connector using filters like location and trade.

2. Direct Invitations

General contractors can invite your company to bid on specific jobs.
When this happens, the job appears directly in your Job Connector inbox and bid conversations.

3. Requested Jobs

These are jobs you initiated, not the GC.
For example, you find a job and request to bid, but the GC hasn’t accepted yet.
These still count as job requests and appear in your Job Connector activity.

Searching for Jobs

To search for jobs, all three fields are required:

  1. Country
  2. Location
  3. Trade

Once all three are selected, tap or click Search to view matching jobs.

Instant Job Matching (Pro Feature)

Instant Job Matching automatically notifies you when jobs match your trade and location.

This is a BuilderPal Pro feature, but you don’t need Pro to manually search and browse jobs.

What is BuilderPal Pro?

Job Communication

Every job has its own bid conversation thread.

These threads are:
• Private between the teams involved
• Grouped inside your BuilderPal inbox
• Used for questions, documents, and updates

Access is limited by role. Conversations are visible to:
• Admins
• Team Project Managers
• Team Business Managers
• Team Finance Managers

Messages cannot be edited or deleted once sent.

Notifications

Job Connector notifications come through:

• Your BuilderPal inbox
• Push notifications (if enabled)
• Email (if you haven’t joined yet)

If someone invites you before you have an account, you’ll receive an email with a sign-up link and invitation code.
