Workflow

A clear path from decision to record.

  1. 1

    Check by name, business, city, state, or private matching context.

  2. 2

    Review approved public profiles, rating context, evidence-on-file labels, and response status.

  3. 3

    Save the search, add the client to your watchlist, or create a private project file.

  4. 4

    Use contracts, evidence, recovery, and report tools if the project moves forward.

Trust and privacy guardrails

Useful records without public overexposure.

Public pages show only approved summaries and non-sensitive identity fields.

Phone and email matching stays private and is never displayed publicly.

Common questions

What is client screening for contractors?

It is a pre-job review process where contractors check approved client profile context, reported experiences, response information, and private match signals before accepting work.

Can I check by phone or email?

Yes, but raw phone numbers and emails should be used only as private matching signals. Client Bureau does not display those identifiers publicly.

What if there is no profile yet?

You can save the search, watch the client, create a private project file, or submit a documented client experience after a real contractor-client interaction.

Ready for the next step?

Check the relationship first, then document the work clearly.
