General Platform Questions

ConstructAI is the first AI recruitment platform specifically designed for the UK construction industry. Unlike general job boards, we understand construction terminology, trade relationships, and compliance requirements. Our AI is trained exclusively on construction data, delivering 95% matching success rates and 7-day average hire times compared to 4-8 weeks with traditional agencies.

We offer automated CSCS card verification, trade certification checking, and diversity- focused candidate sourcing. Our platform serves 500+ construction companies and maintains a database of 15,000+ verified candidates across all trades and skill levels.

Our AI analyzes job requirements and candidate profiles using natural language processing specifically trained on construction industry data. The system understands that a “bricklayer” and “mason” have overlapping skills, or that “site supervisor” and “construction foreman” are similar roles.

The AI considers technical skills, certifications, project experience, geographic preferences, and availability to create precise matches. Machine learning algorithms continuously improve accuracy based on successful placements and employer feedback, ensuring increasingly better matches over time.

ConstructAI covers all construction trades and roles including:

  • Skilled trades (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers)
  • Plant operators (crane, excavator, forklift operators)
  • Site management (supervisors, foremen, project managers)
  • Professional roles (quantity surveyors, site engineers, health & safety officers)
  • Specialized roles (renewable energy installers, heritage restoration specialists)

We serve residential, commercial, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects across the UK, from apprentice level to senior management positions.

ConstructAI delivers an average hire time of 7 days, significantly faster than traditional recruitment agencies (4-8 weeks) or general job boards. Our AI instantly matches job requirements with qualified candidates from our database of 15,000+ verified professionals.

Factors affecting speed include role complexity, location, and specific skill requirements. Common trades like electricians and carpenters typically see matches within 24-48 hours, while specialized roles may take 3-5 days. Our automated compliance verification eliminates delays from manual credential checking.

Yes, ConstructAI serves construction companies of all sizes. Our Basic plan (£80/month) suits small contractors with occasional hiring needs, while our Pro plan (£99/month) provides unlimited job postings for growing companies. Enterprise solutions offer custom features for large organizations.

Small contractors benefit from access to pre-verified candidates without agency fees, while
large companies gain advanced analytics, team assembly features, and integration
capabilities. All plans include automated compliance checking and AI-powered matching.

Technical & AI Capabilities

ConstructAI employs advanced natural language processing (NLP), semantic analysis, and machine learning models trained specifically on UK construction industry data. Our algorithms understand construction terminology, trade relationships, and skill transferability unique to the industry.
