Procore According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, the construction industry represents roughly 13% of the global gross domestic product (GDP) and employs approximately 7% of the world’s working age population. Yet, a persistent challenge remains in its ability to find and hire talent.

They aren’t as conducive to how many of those working in the industry like to interact or to the highly visual nature of the work they perform. So, up to this point, the industry has remained largely disconnected.
