Can Sift verify CDL or forklift certifications?
Sift highlights what candidates claim in their resumes, including license classes and expiration dates. You'll verify through DMV records or your certification provider, but Sift helps you spot missing or expired credentials before wasting time on unqualified applicants.
How do I screen for physical requirements like lifting capacity?
If candidates mention physical capabilities or past roles with similar demands, Sift can surface that. For best results, state physical requirements in your job description and ask applicants to confirm, then use Sift to rank based on relevant experience.
What if I need weekend or overnight shift availability?
Make shift availability a criterion. If applicants mention their schedule flexibility, Sift will include that in the evidence. For high-volume hiring, this helps you quickly shortlist candidates who can cover the hours you need.
