Who this is for
General contractors, subcontractors, construction staffing teams, field service employers, facilities teams, and companies hiring safety-sensitive workers.
Construction screening
Construction background checks for jobsites, field teams, and client requirements.
Construction employers often screen people entering jobsites, client facilities, vehicles, homes, or safety-sensitive environments. Information Direct helps scope practical checks for field staff, drivers, supervisors, and subcontractor requirements.
Role-based scope for field labor, foremen, drivers, project managers, and client-required checks.
MVR and drug screening add-ons for driving, equipment, or safety-sensitive duties.
Support for client-site, federal, healthcare, school, or property access requirements.
Start with jobsite access
Construction screening depends on where the person works and what they can access. A general laborer, driver, project manager, and subcontractor may each have different screening needs.
- Use MVR for driving duties or company vehicle access.
- Add drug screening when policy, safety, or client requirements apply.
- Review client-site requirements for healthcare, schools, federal projects, or occupied properties.
Separate employee and subcontractor workflows
Employees, subcontractors, and vendor workers can involve different notices, contracts, and permissible purpose documentation. Confirm the workflow before ordering.
- Confirm who is the employer or contracting party.
- Document the permissible purpose and authorization path.
- Avoid mixing employment and vendor workflows without review.
Plan for high-volume onboarding
Construction hiring can spike by project. A repeatable matrix helps teams order quickly while keeping scope consistent and defensible.
- Create packages by role or project type.
- Use Enterprise support for high-volume or client documentation needs.
- Flag source fees and expected delays before fulfillment.
