CSCS card level, checked at the gate not just at onboarding
Card type and expiry re-verified live before placement, matched to the actual level a site’s induction requires — not assumed current from screening.
Recruitment / ConstructionBuilt for the sector where site access
Built for the sector where site access
itself depends on a check staying current.
Construction is unforgiving of a stale compliance record in a specific way: a CSCS card, a plant operator certification, or a right-to-work status can all lapse between screening and the actual start date — and a site induction will either refuse entry outright, or worse, let someone through who shouldn’t be there. The dual-checkpoint model checks again on the day, not just at onboarding.
Who this serves
Built for principal contractors, labour suppliers and specialist subcontractors.
Construction staffing spans everything from general labour to specialist trades to plant operators — each carrying a different card, certification, or scheme requirement, and each policed differently at the site gate. SOS Global Recruitment’s construction configuration is built for the agency supplying across some or all of these simultaneously: sourcing from your own consented candidate base, screening against role-specific compliance items, and re-verifying live before every placement starts.
The underlying pipeline is identical to every other sector we serve — with construction-specific compliance items configured into the screening and placement-day checkpoints. See the full eight-stage process
Sector-specific risk
What makes construction compliance genuinely different.
CPCS & NPORS plant operator certification
Operator certification for specific plant and machinery categories confirmed current, so a placement never rests on a card that quietly expired.
CIS status verified correctly
Construction Industry Scheme status checked and applied correctly for every placement, avoiding the tax and liability exposure of a misclassified contractor.
Right to work & site induction currency
Right-to-work status re-verified live, with CITB and site-specific H&S induction currency tracked to actual expiry — not an annual assumption.
Public & employer’s liability exposure
A worker placed without current liability cover — theirs or the contractor’s — turns a site incident into an uninsured claim. Cover status is checked alongside CSCS and CIS, closing a gap most agencies only discover after something’s gone wrong.
The shared journey
Sector detail sits inside a clear process.
Define role-specific evidence
Agree the decision requirements and approved sources.
Review at screeningHARD GATE
Identify what is evidenced and what still needs resolution.
Human review
Keep a named person accountable for what progresses.
Review before placementHARD GATE
Return to the agreed placement-critical items before start.
How this gets configured
Confirmed with your compliance team, not assumed.
The construction rule set above is a starting brief. A discovery conversation with your compliance and operations lead confirms which sources, checks and refresh points apply to your workflow before anything is treated as live.
