Candidate Assessments

Evaluate Skills, Attitude, and Cultural Fit

A résumé only tells part of the story. Our comprehensive candidate assessment process evaluates technical skills, work ethic, communication abilities, and cultural alignment—so you hire with confidence.

We go beyond basic screening to assess what really matters: Can this person do the job? Will they show up reliably? Will they fit with your team? Our assessment process answers these critical questions before you ever extend an offer.

What We Assess

Our multi-dimensional assessment approach evaluates candidates on the factors that predict long-term success in construction and home service roles.

Technical Skills

We verify hands-on experience with tools, equipment, and trade-specific techniques through detailed questioning and, when needed, practical demonstrations or tests.

Certifications & Licenses

We confirm that all required licenses, certifications (OSHA, EPA, trade-specific), and credentials are current, valid, and match your requirements.

Work Ethic & Reliability

We assess attendance history, punctuality, work consistency, and commitment through reference checks and behavioral interview questions.

Communication Skills

Essential for customer-facing roles and team coordination. We evaluate how candidates communicate with supervisors, coworkers, and clients.

Safety Mindset

We assess safety awareness, OSHA compliance knowledge, and previous safety records to ensure candidates prioritize safe work practices.

Cultural Fit

We evaluate alignment with your company values, work environment, and team dynamics to ensure candidates will thrive in your specific culture.

Problem-Solving Ability

Construction and home services require quick thinking. We assess how candidates handle challenges, troubleshoot issues, and adapt on the job.

Customer Service Attitude

For client-facing positions, we evaluate professionalism, courtesy, and the ability to represent your brand positively in customers' homes or job sites.

Growth Potential

We identify candidates who want to learn, advance, and grow with your company—not just collect a paycheck while looking for the next opportunity.

Why Assessment Matters

Thorough candidate assessment reduces turnover, improves team performance, and saves you the cost and frustration of bad hires.

Reduce Hiring Costs

Bad hires cost thousands in lost productivity, training time, and replacement recruiting. Assessment helps you get it right the first time.

Improve Retention

When candidates are properly assessed for skills AND fit, they stay longer, perform better, and contribute more to your team.

Minimize Risk

Verify credentials, check references, and assess safety awareness to reduce liability and protect your company's reputation.

Build Stronger Teams

Cultural fit assessment ensures new hires mesh well with existing team members, creating a more cohesive and productive work environment.
