How does Buildforce assess workers?

Electricians complete a 15-question assessment to evaluate their skills, experience, and ability to do electrical work. Following this, each worker undergoes a 30-minute interview with a Buildforce recruiter knowledgeable in the electrical industry, allowing for a deeper evaluation of their expertise. We then conduct a background check, verify employment eligibility, and confirm that their licenses and certifications are valid. This process ensures each worker is ready for your job site.
