Hishem Azzouz compares vetting contractors to checking eggs before you buy them. Always ask for references from past clients or projects to confirm someone's actually qualified before hiring them.

I asked the guy if I could take a reference and he asked why. And I just said, have you ever bought a box of eggs without opening the lid and checking first? He's like, yeah, yeah, makes sense. Fair enough. Like, if we're putting someone forward for a particular role and they did that project a couple of years ago and it's a really good reference that's going to back up their application, if they did a good job, why can't I go and speak to them? As a contractor, you're as good as your last project.
