Our “boutique” approach to staffing means that we offer you a more personalized and comprehensive approach to your staffing requirements.
We hire temporary employees when needed during peak seasons. Employees have a clean background check and pass the competency exam with a score of 80% or higher as required by the position. Students with a score of 70% or better will be allowed to retake the test after 30 days. Each candidate must also have basic skills:
- Articulate
- Groomed
- Willingness to train
- Punctuality
Temporary employees have the opportunity to gain experience””companies are all unique, so the temporary worker will be exposed to a plethora of different situations and office procedures. Temporary employees that meet technical or other requirements of the work are often selected for permanent positions. In this sense, it could be argued that it would be easier to find work as a temporary worker. Temporary employees also have greater potential for flexible hours.
Companies that use our services are in need of short-term workers for a variety of reasons. Companies may contract with us to send temporary workers on assignments or for work that has a cyclical nature, requiring frequent adjustments to staffing levels. Temporaries in highly technical and complex fields like bookkeeping can use a pool of skilled temporary workers that moves from company to company, as the need arises. This makes it is economically feasible for many small companies to share a workforce, rather that to have employees on the payroll in good times or bad, in peak season and out of season.
