AI Resume Screening for Construction
Trade and site applications are checked for the certifications and experience your projects need, then ranked for a manager to approve.
Getting the right people on site depends on paperwork: trade qualifications, site safety cards, licenses and availability for the project dates. Checking that across every application takes hours your managers do not have. This edition pulls those details from each application, flags anything missing against your criteria and ranks labourers, tradespeople, supervisors and project managers for review. A manager approves every shortlist.
- Site safety cards, licenses and trade qualifications checked every time
- Each trade scored on its own requirements
- Missing certifications flagged before anyone reaches site

What it is
AI Resume Screening for Construction screens applications for trade, site and office roles, extracting the certifications, trade experience and availability you specify and scoring each applicant against your criteria. A project or site manager approves every shortlist. Anything it cannot read confidently goes to that manager rather than being dropped.
Why businesses buy it
A project that mobilizes without enough qualified people slips, and every day of delay costs money and goodwill. Screening by hand under that pressure is where mistakes creep in, like a missing safety card or a trade ticket that does not match the role. This edition checks every application against the criteria you set for each trade and role, flags gaps and ranks the rest, so managers interview the right people sooner. With the intake route, systems, fields and testing written on the Scope Card before you order, you know exactly what the build covers.
Problems this solves
Trade applicants lack the site cards or tickets the job requires
The certifications you specify are extracted from each application and scored against your construction criteria. Missing tickets show on the shortlist before anyone is booked for a site visit.
Site managers screen applications from the cab between jobs
Screening runs in the background as applications arrive. The site or project manager approves a ranked shortlist, rather than reading every application on a phone.
Trade experience is claimed but hard to compare across applicants
Trade experience and availability are pulled into the same fields for every applicant. Managers can then compare like with like, using the construction role criteria library as the common yardstick.
Unclear or handwritten applications are quietly rejected
Anything the system cannot read confidently goes to the manager instead of being dropped. Skilled trades with untidy paperwork still get a fair look from a person.
A good fit if
You staff up when a project starts, and site managers are asked to read applications on top of running the job.
Every role has hard requirements, such as site safety certifications or a specific trade, that must appear before a call is worth making.
Applications are emailed or uploaded to shared storage, and you track hiring in Greenhouse or an HRIS.
You want the project manager to see why an applicant ranked where they did, and to make the decision.
Not the right fit if
Your bottleneck is chasing quotes and subcontractor documents. See AI Follow-Up Engine for Construction.
You need data extracted from project documents rather than applications. See AI Document Extraction for Construction.
You need recurring reports assembled from several sources on a schedule. See AI Report Automation for Construction.
You hire for several regional offices with their own criteria. Add Multi-Location Setup.
How it works
- Applications arrive through one route, either an email inbox or a folder in your document storage.
- You choose up to three document types, for example resumes, certification cards and application forms, with up to 25 fields each.
- Validation rules check that required certifications and trades are present, and flag anything missing or unreadable.
- Each applicant is scored against the role's criteria and your Construction hiring policies, so a labourer and a site supervisor are judged on different requirements.
- Uncertain extractions and borderline scores queue for the manager you name.
- Approved shortlists, with extracted details, go to Greenhouse or your HRIS, ready for interview calls.
What you provide within 72 hours
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
- At least 20 real applications per document type, with personal details redacted if you prefer.

Questions about this product
Can AI Resume Screening for Construction check site safety certifications?
It checks what the documents show. Certifications you mark as mandatory are extracted and validated, and any application where one is missing or unclear is flagged for your reviewer. It does not verify cards with the issuing scheme, so confirming validity before site access remains part of your process.
Can AI Resume Screening for Construction score each trade differently?
Yes. Each role has its own criteria from your role descriptions, so an electrician, a labourer and a site supervisor are ranked on different requirements. Up to 25 fields per document type are available for trade, certifications, experience and availability.
Does AI Resume Screening for Construction make hiring decisions?
No. It extracts, validates and ranks, and a named manager approves every shortlist. Automated hiring or employment decisions are excluded from the build. Anything it cannot read confidently is sent to that manager rather than being rejected or left out of the list.
What does AI Resume Screening for Construction cost?
The price for each delivery speed is in the panel on this page, and every speed delivers the same Scope Card. That includes the Construction role template, extraction of certifications, licenses and availability, a manager review queue and an accuracy report on 100 of your sample documents. Running costs of roughly $30 to $200 a month, depending on page volume, are billed to accounts in your name.
Where do shortlists from AI Resume Screening for Construction go?
To one destination system, such as Greenhouse, another ATS or your HRIS. The source is your application inbox or a document storage folder. If a project manager also wants a shared spreadsheet, the Google Sheets Sync add-on adds that without a full third integration.
What do we send in the first 72 hours for AI Resume Screening for Construction?
At least 20 sample applications per document type, role descriptions and criteria, the fields and validation rules, destination access and the name of your reviewer. Each day late after the 72-hour deadline moves delivery by 3 working days, so gather certification examples early.
Who handles hiring-law duties for AI Resume Screening for Construction?
Your company does, as the employer. A person on your team makes every advance or reject decision. The AI score is stored next to it in your connected system. Duties under laws such as New York City Local Law 144 or the EU AI Act stay with you. These include bias audits, candidate notices and risk assessments. This page is not legal advice.
