Questions
Does Hiyr issue CSCS cards?
No. The card guide points at the route CSCS and CITB publish. Hiyr reviews a copy of the card as part of construction verification. It does not issue the card.
Do these guides list jobs?
No. A guide does not invent vacancies or quote a headcount. Live jobs, when a client has posted one, are on the work pages.
Are the guides a price list?
No. Hiyr does not publish a national day rate. A figure on a profile or a job is that person’s own figure.
