Frequently Asked Questions
What is Site Source?
Site Source is a UK construction labour marketplace that connects construction tradespeople directly with contractors and employers. It replaces traditional recruitment agencies with a transparent direct-hire platform operating at 5% commission compared to the 15-20% margins typically charged by agencies.
How much does Site Source cost for workers?
Site Source is completely free for construction workers. Workers pay no fees to register, create a profile, or receive job offers. The 5% platform commission is paid by the contractor on completed engagements only.
How does the rate card offer system work?
Contractors post a rate card offer specifying the trade, number of workers needed, location, duration, and offered day rate. The platform suggests a ranked pool of verified, available workers matched by trade, location, CIS registration status, CSCS card level, and experience. The contractor broadcasts the offer simultaneously to all selected workers.
What trades does Site Source cover?
Site Source covers over 30 construction trades at launch, including core construction roles, carpentry and joinery, MEP trades, finishing trades, civils and plant, specialist trades, management and technical roles, and general labour and support roles.
What is CIS and how does Site Source handle it?
CIS stands for the Construction Industry Scheme, a UK HMRC scheme governing tax deductions for self-employed construction workers. Site Source displays each worker CIS registration status prominently on their profile.
What is a CSCS card and why does it matter?
CSCS stands for the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. A CSCS card demonstrates that the holder has the required training and qualifications for their specific role on a UK construction site. Site Source records and displays each worker CSCS card level on their profile.
Where is Site Source launching?
Site Source is launching initially in London, United Kingdom. The platform is designed specifically for the UK construction market.
How does Site Source verify workers?
Workers upload qualification documents and CSCS card information during registration. Site Source admin team reviews and approves all worker profiles before they become searchable by contractors.
How does Site Source verify contractors?
Contractors provide their Companies House registration number during sign-up. Site Source verifies the registration against the Companies House database before allowing the contractor to post any rate card offers.
How are workers paid on Site Source?
Workers submit invoices through the platform. Payment is processed via Stripe. Site Source deducts its 5% commission and pays the worker the net invoice amount. Workers are paid weekly.
When does Site Source launch?
Site Source is currently in active development. No launch date has been announced. Workers and contractors can register their interest now to receive early access when the platform goes live in London.
Is Site Source a recruitment agency?
No. Site Source is not a recruitment agency. It is a direct-hire platform that removes the agency from the process entirely. Site Source charges a 5% platform commission on completed engagements.
What does 5% commission mean in practice?
If a contractor hires a groundworker at 230 pounds per day for 4 weeks, the total labour cost is 4600 pounds. Site Source 5% commission on that engagement is 230 pounds paid by the contractor. A traditional agency at 15% would charge 690 pounds.
