Hiring Checklist for Facility Service Providers
- 1
Verify licensing and insurance
Confirm the contractor holds a valid state license and carries general liability plus workers' compensation insurance.
- 2
Check references and reviews
Request at least three commercial references and verify online reviews from other facility managers.
- 3
Evaluate experience in your industry
Ensure the provider has worked with businesses of similar size and type — warehouse, office, medical, retail, etc.
- 4
Review service agreements carefully
Look for scope clarity, response-time guarantees, cancellation terms, and escalation procedures.
- 5
Confirm staffing and equipment
Ask about crew size, training protocols, and whether they use their own equipment or require site-provided tools.
- 6
Compare pricing transparently
Get itemized quotes from at least three providers. Beware of unusually low bids — they often signal cut corners.
- 7
Validate safety and compliance
Confirm OSHA compliance, background checks on staff, and familiarity with your facility's specific safety requirements.
- 8
Establish communication protocols
Designate a single point of contact, agree on reporting frequency, and set expectations for issue resolution.
