Fixing the Talent Gap in Construction with Paulo Castro from BRAPTT

Описание: In this episode of the Boostara Podcast, I speak with Paulo Castro, a health and safety auditor and construction engineering specialist, about one of the industry’s biggest challenges: connecting the right people to the right roles.

After years working on major construction projects, Paulo saw first-hand how talent gaps impact safety, costs, and project performance. That experience led him to launch BRAPTT, a platform designed to bridge the gap between construction companies and skilled professionals through a recruitment approach built on real industry expertise.

We discuss why specialist knowledge matters in construction hiring, how the right people don’t just improve outcomes but also reduce risk and cost, and the role AI can play in improving candidate selection, while still keeping human judgment at the centre.

This conversation is a practical look at the future of talent in a sector where the margin for error is small and the impact of great people is huge.
