Hiring Process

Our goal is to find a job that's a great match for your skills, personality, and lifestyle. To get there, we take a bit of a different approach.

We feel that by offering a high level of privacy in a comfortable atmosphere, you can perform at your highest level. Instead of being processed in a group environment or in the lobby, our application process begins online. In instances where an individual does not have a computer available to them, applicants are able to utilize computers at our office to begin the process. Once the application is submitted it is reviewed by one of our staffing professionals. Application information including employment history, skills, education, and criminal record are taken into account when evaluating candidates for employment. Applicants are contacted via email (or by phone if email is not available) within a day or two to indicate the next steps in the registration process. Applicants that are determined to be a match for current or future openings are invited to come in to our office to complete the application process. When they come in, applicants are assigned an individual room equipped with a desk and a computer where the application paperwork can be completed, any testing is performed, safety videos are viewed, and the interview takes place.

With that said, here's a more detailed look at what you can expect during our hiring process:

  • Interview. We'll schedule a face-to-face interview to get to know you and talk about what you're looking for in your next job. We will also ask you about your work history and experience.
  • Testing. We will then conduct skills testing so we have a good understanding of your skill level.
  • Verification. In addition, you may also be required to consent to drug screening and a background check, and we will also check references from previous employers.
  • Preparation. Once we find a position that's a good match for you, we'll help you prepare for your interview. This includes offering you interview tips, as well as plenty of information about the client company and the position.
