To make sure our candidates are qualified to do your job, we
go through a standard screening process as well as a more specified
process at
your request.
Meeting
with our
Candidates in-person:
We feel very
strongly about meeting with our
candidates in-person, in our office. One
of our Recruiters will sit down with each candidate at length to narrow
down
their skills set, find out why they left their previous positions, and
identify
what they are looking for in their next job. All
in all, we get to know our candidates personally,
establish a level
of trust, and help them feel comfortable about us being a part of their
job
search. Getting to know and understand our
candidates better, is also very beneficial to our clients as well. Instead of matching resumes with job
descriptions, we match real people with real jobs. Our
clients, can be assured that the employee
we recommend to them is not only aware of the responsibilities and
duties of the
position, but is qualified to perform those duties in an efficient,
capable,
and professional manner.
Understanding
our candidate’s personality also
helps us match them into each distinct office environment and company
culture
that we encounter. Client’s work
environments can be fast paced, laid back, highly accountable, provide
minimal
supervision, etc., capable skills and the right personality and
attitude can make
a big difference in making successful placements happen.
For a smooth transition to take place,
candidates must not only do the job well, but be of the same mind as
each of the
clients’ other staff. This is an example
of the type of approach we focus on and information that we access
during our
interview phase.
Software
Testing:
When we meet
with our candidates we automatically test them
in MS Word and Excel and get their typing speed (WPM).
If you extend a job order to us, and need to
gauge the candidate’s proficiency in another program, we have the
following
assessments to choose from:

If there is
a specific software not listed above that you
would like candidates to be pre-assessed on, we can accommodate by
acquiring
the additional programs through our provider to help meet that need.
Reference
Checks:
Upon meeting
with our candidates, we perform one initial
reference check before submitting a candidate to a position, or sending
them on
a temporary assignment. The reference
check covers how their most recent supervisor would rate them (on the
basis of
Poor to Excellent) in the areas of Attitude, Attendance, Punctuality,
Quality
of Work, Accuracy, Dependability, and Initiative. We
also verify dates of employment, job
title, and if the applicant is eligible for rehire.
During
the interview process, when a client shows interest in
our candidate, we will perform three (or amount indicated by client),
professional references in more depth. These
conversations cover the scope of work the employee
did at their
previous position, how they got along with others, their strengths, and
much
more. The reference is then summarized
in the body of an e-mail and sent to the client directly.
We take
great pride in our employees, and feel strongly
about presenting our clients with the most qualified candidate
recommendations.
Background
Checks:
At
the request of the client, comprehensive
background checks are available. Clients may elect to request
investigations of
local criminal records, educational background, and former employment
verification.
Working with, not for, our
Clients
We make an
effort to learn about
each company we work with--visiting your offices and meeting with
you
on-site, studying your corporate and marketing information, and
following your
business in the markets and in industry headlines. Being on the lookout
for news
and trends that affect our clients, helps us to anticipate your needs
and to
better serve you.
Remember, the
more our clients can tell us about
their company, the environment, the office personalities, and what
they’re
looking for in the ideal candidate, the better we can make a more
accurate,
long lasting match.
