About Matthew Sorensen
Matthew Sorensen is the founder of PowerLinemanJobs.com and a recruiting professional with over 15 years of experience placing skilled trades talent across electrical, commercial, and industrial environments.
That background in electrical trades hiring made one thing obvious: linemen are among the most in-demand and underserved professionals in the entire trades sector. The work is specialized, the licensing and certifications are specific, and general job boards do a poor job of connecting qualified linemen with the contractors and utilities that need them. PowerLinemanJobs.com was built to close that gap.
Matthew is the founder of Candidate Club, an interview preparation platform that partnered with 37 state workforce agencies and departments of corrections to help job seekers land roles faster. He is the author of four books on hiring and interviewing, and the host of the Hired podcast, which ranks in the top 0.5% of career podcasts worldwide with over 1,000 ratings on Spotify. His work has been featured in SHRM, ABC News, and across dozens of career and workforce media outlets.
PowerLinemanJobs.com exists because linemen deserve a hiring resource built around their trade and the specific demands of the work, not a platform designed for everyone that serves no one particularly well.
