Buildforce vs CCS Construction Staffing

Is pricing transparent?

Make sure that the staffing solution you pick has clear pricing and doesn't charge extra for anything you don't need. The best construction staffing agency will offer a complete solution that fits your needs.

Can the provider offer project-specific matches?

Not all construction projects are the same, requiring not only qualified tradespeople but also ones who are well-informed about the job site and its requirements. Your staffing agency should ask for these details so they can match workers with the right jobs.

What is the vetting process?

When you hire someone from a construction staffing agency, it shouldn't be hard to vet them and get them up to speed. Look for providers that make the process easier by offering expert onboarding support. This will make sure placements on your jobs go smoothly.

Is getting support easily accessible?

Support that is easy to reach is essential for improving how your workforce operates. Make sure that the staffing provider you choose offers immediate help through online tools, email, chat, or the phone, so that you have support at every step of the way.

Staffing

Buildforce connects electrical specialty contractors with skilled electricians through a smart phone app. We focus primarily on electricians, testing each candidates’ skills, interviewing them and checking their background. Detailed digital “Player Cards” display each workers qualifications, hours worked, attendance records, and performance ratings. This helps contractors find the right electricians quickly, often in less than 30 minutes. Buildforce wants to make hiring easier, make sure that good matches happen, and help contractors and workers throughout the lifecycle of their projects.

CCS Construction Staffing finds skilled workers for construction companies using a traditional staffing model. They screen candidates through phone interviews and skills tests. Safety is very important to CCS, so they offer ongoing training through orientation, tool box talks, and visits to the job site by their safety staff. CCS offers long-term and short-term staffing, and temp-to-hiring and direct-hire placements. Their flexible approach helps construction companies find the right workers for each job, whether it lasts months or years.
