Trip Advisor for Construction
earwig is the first reviews website where workers find the best jobs by building a community and sharing knowledge.
“I’m a sparky and I’ve battled dodgy agencies, unsupportive managers and dangerous worksites. I’ve felt the pain of being out of work with no idea which companies I can trust. But earwig gives me a voice and a way to make better decisions.”
Workers use earwig to show which jobs are good, which are bad and why

Why are we doing this?
Because all construction workers deserve great jobs! earwig was born when Harrison interviewed 400 workers about their needs and learned he wasn’t alone. Like him, they wanted a community, more security and for their voices to be heard. Together they built earwig into a worker-led community that’s setting new standards
