Everyone’s talking about a skilled labor shortage — but what if it’s not real? In this episode of The Deconstruction Podcast, Kosta, Johny, and Charlie sit down with Matteo Nunziata, founder of UBILD, to unpack how AI is transforming hiring in construction and why the real problem isn’t a shortage — it’s a labor utilization crisis.
Matteo shares how UBILD’s AI interviewer helps contractors vet and hire skilled trades faster and smarter, while uncovering the hidden potential in today’s workforce. The crew dives deep into teaching culture on job sites, foreman-apprentice dynamics, and how technology like Jobtable and UBILD are empowering small construction businesses to compete with the big players.
This one’s a must-listen for contractors who care about growth, leadership, and staying ahead of the curve as AI reshapes the trades.
