### Have questions?

**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.

**Does Buildforce drug test electricians?**  
We handle drug testing on a case-by-case basis. While we do not perform routine drug tests, we are fully equipped to conduct them when necessary. This approach allows us to ensure a safe and professional environment for both our electrical specialty contractors and electricians, maintaining our commitment to high standards of service and safety.

**Does Buildforce run background checks on electricians?**  
Yes, we run a background check for every electrician that is in the field.

**Is Buildforce a staffing firm?**  
While Buildforce operates similarly to a construction staffing firm, we go beyond by tracking data on electricians (attendance, reviews, and GPS time-tracking) and streamlining interactions for a more efficient and informed hiring experience.

**Can you run certified payroll?**  
Yes, we run certified payroll reports for prevailing wage projects by filling out Form WH-347 on a weekly basis. This is to ensure compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and other prevailing wage laws, which are designed to guarantee fair wages for workers on federally funded construction projects.
