Our standards

Know what to check.

Read the verification standard and confirm the matched business’s current credentials before hiring. Ask which checks were completed, when, and by whom.

Askfor review details

License status

Confirm the current license, business name and trade scope with the relevant regulator.

Screening scope

Ask who was screened and when. An owner check does not establish the status of every worker.

Reviews and references

Read recent, specific reviews and ask for relevant work references; a star average is only one signal.

Review record

Ask for the completed review details for the business being introduced. A published standard is not a project guarantee.
