Membership
- The Springfield Contractors Employment Service:
- Provides a central clearinghouse for all applications from individuals wishing to work in construction or construction-related services. Applications are taken, verified and filed for use by SCA members only;
- Participating members call in project information and job needs and the Employment Director compares the individual employment information on file with the members’ specific requests. The name and employment information are forwarded to the SCA member, who makes the decision to interview, hire or not hire;
- We cover all skills in construction-related jobs, including office personnel;
- We do the initial screening and reference check, and keep all information up-dated as necessary, saving our members time and effort recruiting applicants and processing applications;
- We will also run blind ads for members seeking specific skills at the members’ expense, preserving confidentiality.
- We publish the “SCA News & Views” monthly to disseminate information about the Association, our members and other items of interest.
- The Membership Directory is published early each spring and is conveniently arranged by category. The Directory is not only used by SCA members, but also is available to the public.
