How are you able to find good help when I can’t?
Good help is hard to find. Lucky for us, our exclusive and detailed construction recruitment and placement process lets us handpick the best workers out there. Our workers are tested, tooled and fully screened. And you have access to a huge database of skilled C&B employees. So staffing a skilled worker for your industrial project is never a problem.

We even have on-call staff ready to help after office hours. That means we’re handy ‘round the clock.
How do you screen your workers?
Our workers are fully tested before we deem them fit for your job. Workers come to our office for an in-depth interview and even behavioral tests and hand-on skills testing. Then they’re E-Verified and drug tested. We can also custom-build the recruitment process for your construction needs. Options include:
- Criminal checks
- DMV checks
- Personality profiling
And more …
Do your workers come with their own tools and transportation?
Construction projects can’t get done without the right tools in the right hands. Our recruitment and placement process ensures workers have the tools they need to get the job done. And we know you’re too busy to worry about how workers get to your jobsite. We trust our workers to be where they need to be, on time. And we keep an eye on their punctuality. That way, you know we’re sending reliable workers your way.
Can I hire one of your workers directly?
Yes, you can. We don’t just supply temporary construction staffing fixes. We also offer other services:

We back our temporary placements with an industry-leading eight-hour guarantee. And our full-time workers are backed by a 100% 30-day and extended 100-day guarantee.
