One Complete File for Every Worker. From First Handshake to Last Day on Site.
SkillSignal is the workforce management platform built for construction HR. Onboard new hires from their phones, collect W-4s and I-9s digitally, track every certification and expiration, deliver training and culture videos with a dated record of completion, and capture verified time and attendance. All of it lives on one worker profile, in 14 languages. Safety and HR finally share a system.
Managing a construction workforce shouldn't feel like this
An HR manager's week, before SkillSignal:
New hire paperwork chased between the office, the trailer, and a foreman's truck.
An I-9 audit letter arrives and half the forms are incomplete, unsigned, or missing.
Certifications tracked in a spreadsheet nobody has updated since March.
Onboarding videos played once in a conference room, with no record of who actually watched them.
An incident on site, and the worker's emergency contact lives in a filing cabinet 40 miles away.
A workforce that speaks five languages handed the same English-only packet.
SkillSignal replaces all of it, with one connected platform where every worker's file builds itself from day one and stays current on its own.
One Platform. Every Worker. Every Document. One Complete File.
Built for how construction HR actually works: a workforce in the field, records in the office, and you answering for both.
Onboarding done before lunch
A new hire downloads the app, builds their profile in their own language, uploads their certifications, signs their W-4, I-9, and your onboarding documents, and watches your orientation and culture videos. Every step timestamped. No packet, no scanner, no chasing.
A file that keeps itself current
Certifications auto-flag before they expire. Every clock-in and clock-out logs automatically. Videos watched, documents signed, and notes added all land on the worker's profile the moment they happen. Nothing to re-key, nothing to reconcile.
Answers in seconds, not filing cabinets
Emergency contact during an incident. A complete employment file for an audit. A dated record that a worker watched the harassment policy video. Pull any worker's full record from your desk in under 30 seconds instead of digging for a week.
The Worker Profile: Everything HR Needs to Know About One Person, in One Place
Every worker in SkillSignal has a single profile that follows them across projects. Workers build and maintain it themselves, from their phones, in their own language, so your data stays current without your team typing it in.
What lives on every profile
- Personal and emergency information. Contact details, employer, emergency contact, and blood type.
- Trade, skills, and classification. Job title, trade, union affiliation, and the skills you want on record.
- Custom fields. Request and store any additional information your company needs, from shirt size to parking permits to veteran status.
- Every certification and credential. OSHA 10 and 30, SST, trade cards, and licenses, each with issue date, expiration date, verification status, and the uploaded card image.
- Signed documents. W-4s, I-9s, handbooks, policies, and any form you assign, with signature and date.
- Videos watched. Every onboarding, culture, and safety video logged with the exact date and time it was completed.
- Time and attendance. Every clock-in and clock-out, broken out by project, with timestamps.
- Notes. A running log your team can add to, by project and date.
The app works in 14 languages, so a language barrier is never the reason a file is incomplete or a policy went unread.
Paperless Onboarding: W-4s, I-9s, Videos, and Signatures, Finished Before the First Shift
Onboarding is where HR loses the most time and carries the most risk. SkillSignal turns it into a checklist the worker completes from their phone, with every step captured.
Assign the paperwork
Distribute W-4s, I-9s, handbook acknowledgements, and any digital document you need completed. Workers fill and e-sign from their phones. You see exactly who is done and who is not.
Deliver the videos
Upload your own onboarding, company culture, rules, and safety orientation videos, or use the free SkillSignal library. Every view is logged with a date and time, so you have proof of delivery rather than a sign-in sheet.
Verify the credentials
Workers upload their certifications during onboarding. Issue and expiration dates go on file immediately, and auto-alerts fire before anything lapses.
File it automatically
Everything lands on the worker's profile the moment it is completed, signed, and dated. When an auditor, an attorney, or a carrier asks, the file is already built.
No more half-finished packets. No more first days lost to paperwork. A new hire can be documented, trained, and on the clock the same day.

Why HR professionals choose SkillSignal over the alternatives
You'll compare us to your HRIS, a stack of point solutions, and the spreadsheets you are running now. Here's the honest difference.
Built for a field workforce, not a desk workforce
Most HR software assumes your people sit at computers with company email addresses. SkillSignal assumes they are on a jobsite with a phone in their pocket. Onboarding, documents, videos, and time tracking all work where your workforce actually is.
Every worker, in their own language
The app runs in 14 languages, and you can upload documents in any language you need. A worker completes their onboarding forms, reads your policy, and takes your training in a language they actually understand, instead of guessing at English.
HR and safety on the same record
Your safety team already lives in SkillSignal. When HR joins them, the worker file is complete: employment documents, certifications, training, attendance, and safety history in one place instead of two departments holding half the picture each.
Setup in days, not quarters
White-glove onboarding, no IT project required. Most teams are live within 24 hours.
Plays nice with your HR stack
SkillSignal integrates with Arcoro and Procore, so workforce data syncs instead of being re-keyed. It sits alongside the HRIS and payroll systems you already run, it does not replace them.
Plays nice with your existing stack
Worker, project, and compliance data syncs both ways. No double entry, no swivel-chair workflows.
