How to Update Your Buildforce Profile

Updated over a week ago

Contractors partnered with Buildforce use your profile to assess whether they should send you a job offer. 🤝🏽 Think of your Buildforce profile as your resume. 💼The more information you provide, the better decision a contractor can make! To increase your chances of getting the job 📈 you applied for, it's important to keep your profile up to date.

👷Trades
When you first create your Buildforce profile, select the trades that you have experience in and type in your years of experience. Keep this section current by updating your years of experience and any new trades each year.


🪪 Licenses

If you're in Texas, a current TDLR license is required to work for Buildforce. We recommend uploading a picture of your license and renewing it each year before it expires. Our app will pull the expiration date from the TDLR website and display it on your profile.

When your license expires, the app prevents you from applying for jobs until it is current.

📄 Certifications
Some jobs with Buildforce require certifications such as the OSHA 10 or Aerial/Scissorlift Certification. If you hold any certifications, we recommend including each one under the Certification section of your profile. Job posts in the app will display which certifications are required and prevent you from applying if you do not have them.

🧰 Work History

When first setting up your profile, we recommend that you include at least your last three employments under the work history and include a detailed description of the skills and accomplishments for each job. We recommend updating your work history whenever you work for another company outside Buildforce.


All Buildforce employments are automatically added to your profile and marked with a blue check to let contractors know when you worked for us.
