What makes this sector hard

  • Project-type fit

    Commercial, industrial, infrastructure and residential each demand different signal. The rubric captures the project types the candidate has actually delivered.

  • Delivery method and role

    Design-build, CM-at-risk, design-bid-build and IPD change the role. Delivery model is captured in intake so shortlists reflect it.

  • Field vs office context

    Superintendents, PMs and preconstruction leaders reward different evidence. Rubrics per seat surface what the CV actually shows about scope and ownership.

  • Location-dependent hiring

    Construction is site-specific. Location, mobility and travel tolerance are structured intake fields, not free-text notes.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For construction, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Project-type and delivery-method rubric
  • Trade and scope captured in intake
  • Location dependency captured

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • OSHA 30 (US)
  • SMSTS / SSSTS (UK)
  • CSCS card (UK)
  • PMP
  • LEED AP
  • PE licensure (US)

Regulatory and compliance requirements

  • Safety qualifications (OSHA, SMSTS/SSSTS) captured verbatim from the CV
  • PE licensure captured where relevant — not asserted by us
  • Trade cards and unions captured as structured signals

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
