Credential-First Model Signals a Bold Shift Away from Legacy Practices, Aiming to Build the Industry’s Largest Verified Workforce

PHOENIX, AZ — 5-25-26— Workify Staffing, a next-generation skilled trades staffing firm, today announced a transformational strategic alliance with BuilderFax, the leading AI-powered credential intelligence platform for construction labor. Together, the two firms are launching a new standard in credential-first skilled trades staffing—a model designed to bring transparency, trust, and verified capability to an industry long constrained by outdated practices.

This alliance represents a decisive move away from legacy staffing approaches that rely heavily on unverified resumes, inconsistent screening, and reactive hiring cycles. Instead, Workify and BuilderFax are championing a future defined by verified skills, real-time credentialing, and data-driven workforce deployment—attracting a new generation of talent and forward-thinking contractors eager to modernize how work gets done.

At the center of this transformation is a rapidly expanding ecosystem that brings together Workify Staffing, BuilderFax, and Lumber, a fast-growing, well-funded innovator behind a comprehensive AI-powered construction workforce management platform. This integrated ecosystem is purpose-built to streamline hiring, ensure compliance, enhance workforce visibility, and elevate jobsite performance across the construction lifecycle.

As part of this initiative, Workify has set ambitious growth targets to scale its credentialed workforce:

• 75,000 BuilderFax-verified tradespeople by the end of 2026 

• 300,000+ verified professionals within three years, positioning the alliance as the largest verified skilled trades workforce in the industry

“BuilderFax and Lumber represent the kind of visionary leadership this industry has been waiting for,” said Howard Aronson, Chief Executive Officer of Workify Staffing. “They are not just improving processes—they are fundamentally rethinking how skilled trades labor is verified, deployed, and managed. At Workify, we are proud to partner in this transformational journey, bringing our deep industry relationships and operational expertise to help scale a smarter, more trusted workforce model for the future.”

The Workify-BuilderFax alliance is designed to benefit all stakeholders across the construction ecosystem:

• Contractors gain immediate access to pre-verified, job-ready talent with validated credentials

• Tradespeople receive portable, digital verification of their skills and experience, enhancing mobility and career growth

• Project owners benefit from improved compliance, reduced risk, and higher-quality outcomes

Together, Workify, BuilderFax, and Lumber are building more than a staffing solution—they are establishing a new industry benchmark rooted in credibility, accountability, and innovation.

As demand for skilled labor continues to surge—driven by infrastructure expansion, clean energy projects, and advanced manufacturing—this alliance positions Workify and its partners at the forefront of a movement to modernize construction workforce development at scale.
