Partner with the lab on construction workforce intelligence.
The best workforce intelligence is built with the field, not just about it. AlphaHire works with construction firms, infrastructure owners, institutions, and data partners on the questions public data can't answer alone — building datasets, running commissioned market studies, and turning field intelligence into decision-grade research.
Partners contribute to — and draw on — a data foundation spanning 435M+ workforce intelligence signals, 19.5M+ permit records, 244K+ monitored licensed contractors, and 50 states tracked in data.
Data alone is not intelligence.
The lab turns public labor data and AlphaHire search activity into construction workforce intelligence — but the highest-value reads depend on inputs the public record never holds: proprietary data, decision context, and field-level ground truth. Partnerships supply those inputs.
Data we don't otherwise see
Operational and proprietary datasets that extend what the lab can measure beyond the public record — permits, license rolls, project pipelines, and compensation inputs.
Questions worth answering
Real decisions — market entry, program staffing, compensation strategy — that scope research to something actionable rather than abstract.
Ground truth from the field
What operators see on active programs, which tells us whether the data is reading the market correctly before anything is published.
Three ways to work with the lab.
Each track ties to a defined research output. Partnerships are scoped, confidential by default, and built on the same methodology — WEI™, CVF™, and PERM™ — that governs the lab's published work.
Data Partnerships
DatasetsContribute or license data — permit activity, license rolls, project pipelines, compensation inputs, or operational signals — that extends the lab’s coverage of construction labor markets. Partners receive structured intelligence built on top of the combined data, not just the raw feed back.
Typical partnersData providers, public agencies, industry associations, technology platforms, and firms sitting on operational data that the public record does not capture.
Market Studies
Commissioned researchCommission or co-author a focused study on a specific workforce question — a region, a trade, a project class, or a compensation dynamic. Studies are scoped to a decision, built on the lab’s frameworks, and delivered as standalone research the partner can act on and cite internally.
Typical partnersOwners and developers, general contractors, EPC firms, infrastructure programs, investors, and workforce-planning leaders weighing a specific commitment.
Field Intelligence
Ground truthConstruction operators contribute structured field observations — what is actually happening in active programs — in exchange for early access to the lab’s reads, frameworks, and regional findings. The exchange is what makes the public data interpretable.
Typical partnersRegional operators, VPs of Operations, project executives, and workforce or talent leaders with active P&L visibility into the markets the lab monitors.
Decision-grade research, built on the lab's standard.
The same discipline behind the lab's published work — scoped deliverables, stated confidence, and framework rigor — applied to your data, your market, and your decision.
Standalone deliverables
Structured findings scoped to your decision — not raw data dumps. Each engagement produces research you can act on and cite internally.
Framework rigor
Work is built on the lab's measurement frameworks — WEI™ exposure scoring, CVF™ compensation velocity, and PERM™ project execution risk — with confidence levels stated plainly.
Confidential by default
Partner data and findings are non-public unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Participation does not imply endorsement, and contributed data is never resold.
Scoped, structured, and tied to a decision.
Every partnership starts from the decision and ends in research you can act on — combining your inputs with the lab's data foundation and frameworks.
Define the question
We start from the decision — the dataset, the market, or the workforce question — and agree on what a useful answer looks like before any work begins.
Combine the inputs
The lab combines partner data and field intelligence with public labor data and AlphaHire activity, then applies its frameworks to produce a read.
Hand off the research
You receive standalone findings with stated confidence levels. Ongoing partnerships add a recurring cadence and early access to relevant lab reads.
Built for partners with a real question.
Partnerships are selective and scoped to a specific outcome. The fit is strongest where an organization holds data, field visibility, or a decision that the public record alone cannot resolve.
- Organizations with data, field visibility, or decisions that public labor statistics alone cannot resolve
- Construction firms and infrastructure owners weighing market entry, program staffing, or compensation strategy
- Public agencies, associations, and platforms holding data that would strengthen construction workforce coverage
- Institutional and academic partners pursuing applied research with operational outcomes
- Partners who want decision-grade research — not a vendor relationship or a marketing co-brand
Discuss a research partnership.
Inquiries are reviewed on a rolling basis. Tell us which track fits — Data Partnership, Market Study, or Field Intelligence — and the question, dataset, or market you want to work on.
