Professional history reviewed. Workmanship-specific badges remain under evaluation.

Complete a standardized hands-on assessment or submit qualifying real-world work evidence.
Evidence is reviewed against published competency standards instead of résumé claims alone.
Your verified competencies and documented project history become part of your professional profile.
Employers can search for people based on the abilities a project actually requires.
Before asking skilled professionals to trust Vetted Hands, founder Jose Copeland became the first pilot participant. His work history, portfolio, and competition evidence are being evaluated using the same standards planned for every applicant.

Need installers with documented commercial and fleet experience for a multi-vehicle project.
Photos, résumés, and references all have value. Vetted Hands adds another layer: structured proof of demonstrated competency and documented work.
Vetted Hands was founded by a U.S. Army veteran and skilled trades professional who saw the same problem repeatedly: capable workers often have no standardized way to prove what they can actually do, while employers struggle to separate demonstrated skill from claims on a résumé.
Our goal is simple: create a professional record that belongs to the worker and gives employers better evidence when they need skilled hands.
We are recruiting skilled professionals, shop owners, and employers to help pressure-test the first Vetted Hands standards for vehicle graphics and automotive restyling.
No. The initial product is being designed as a skill-verification and professional-record platform. Employment marketplace features may be added after the verification model is proven.
Not by itself. Vetted Hands is focused first on verifying demonstrated trade competencies and documented work. Any future identity or background-screening services would be clearly identified as separate checks.
Because standards should be built by people who understand the work. Vehicle graphics, wraps, PPF, and tint provide a focused first market where hands-on quality can be evaluated directly.
That is the long-term goal, but only after the first verification standards are tested in the field. Future trades may include welding, HVAC, electrical, construction, and more.
