What people use it for
I bring on ten to fifteen contractors a month and used to chase every one of them for a legible form. Now I send this link in the offer email and the signed PDF comes back the same day.
Half our vendors used to send forms as phone photos that finance refused to file. Pointing them here fixed it. The layout matches the official document and nothing gets cut off when it downloads.
What sold me is that the data isn't stored anywhere and the file downloads straight to the signer's machine. I can ask a client to complete one without worrying about where their details end up.
January used to mean tracking down paperwork from every subcontractor. This year I sent one link to the whole roster and had every form back inside a week.
New clients always want a fresh copy and I never have last year's handy. Filling it out here is faster than digging up the PDF, and the fields space themselves so I stop transposing digits.
I keep this bookmarked for the client who calls saying they need a form right now. I walk them through it on the phone in a couple of minutes — open, type, sign, download.
