Construction hiring questions
Can you source candidates with Safe Pass or CSCS already?
Either we source already-certified candidates, or we coordinate the certification ahead of start date so the worker is site-ready on day one.
Do you handle bulk hires across multiple sites?
Yes. Civil contractors usually onboard with our Scale or Enterprise monthly programmes so capacity scales with project schedules rather than per-hire delays.
How do you handle trade verification?
Each candidate completes a structured video skills demonstration and reference check before reaching your shortlist — recorded in the platform for review.
