Because a Great Resume Doesn’t Always Mean a Great Worker

In construction, skills aren’t just words on a page—they’re measured in productivity, safety, and quality craftsmanship on-site. Yet many companies still rely on outdated hiring practices that start and stop with the resume. In today’s fast-moving construction environment, that’s not enough.

At Arkay Contracting, we take worker verification seriously—going far beyond the paper trail to ensure every placement is truly site-ready, trade-competent, and trustworthy. Here’s how modern construction staffing agencies are reshaping the hiring process to meet real-world demands.

1. Hands-On Skill Verification

Resumes can say anything—but can the worker deliver? At Arkay, we assess trade-specific skills in practical ways. Whether it’s measuring cuts, reading blueprints, or understanding safety codes, we make sure each worker can perform on the job—not just talk about it.

Our screening process includes:

– Trade-specific questions
– Task simulations and tool familiarity checks
– Site-readiness evaluations

2. Verified Certifications and Safety Training

All workers at arkaycontracting must meet industry-standard safety training and certification requirements. We confirm every license, WHMIS card, Working at Heights, and other relevant training to ensure compliance before they ever reach your site.

Because a safe worker is a reliable worker—and that protects your crew, your deadlines, and your bottom line.

3. Reference and Work History Checks

We don’t just take a candidate’s word for it. Our recruiters contact past employers to verify punctuality, work ethic, team behavior, and technical ability.

Whether you need a dependable general laborer or a skilled journeyperson, you get a worker with a proven track record—not a gamble.

4. Fit-for-Site Matching

Every job site has a unique rhythm. Some require solo problem-solvers, others need team players who can adapt to fast-changing demands. At Arkay, we assess personality fit, site culture awareness, and communication style to ensure smooth integration.

This minimizes disruptions, reduces turnover, and boosts overall productivity.

5. Ongoing Performance Monitoring

Our job doesn’t stop at placement. Arkay stays connected with your foreperson or site manager to track how workers are performing. If someone isn’t meeting expectations, we’re ready to step in—offering fast replacements or support as needed.

This commitment keeps your project on track and your crew motivated.

6. The Result? Better Crews, Faster Builds

With reliable vetting comes reliable workers—and with the right crew, projects move faster, safer, and with fewer headaches. That’s the power of a staffing partner who does more than just push paper.

At Arkay, we’re proud to provide not just warm bodies—but trusted tradespeople who are ready to show up, gear up, and get it done.
