Let us handle staffing challenges so you can run your business.

Temporary & seasonal

Vacations, illness, seasonal or cyclical business changes. Jobs can last for as little as four hours or as long as necessary, which is entirely up to you.

From four hours to as long as you need

Temp-to-hire

We send a qualified employee to work in the position for eight weeks, so you both get to know each other before any regular job offer is made.

Never a fee to roll them onto your payroll

Payroll only

For when you have someone in mind but want time to evaluate the hiring decision. Because we didn't recruit them, our bill rate is lower.

No eight-week minimum

  • No contract that locks you in
  • No fees until someone is on the job
  • 4-hour guarantee
What are your fees?

The bill rate is added to the desired hourly pay rate. A large portion of our cost comes from workers' compensation insurance, so we complete a job order with a detailed job description to properly classify the position. There are no fees until an employee is placed and starts working or when the employee is rolled over.

Is there a contract?

We do not have a contract that locks you in for a time frame or for exclusive use. We do have a client agreement and business credit application that we will go over and get signed. When all of the paperwork has been signed, we will immediately start screening.

How long does it take to fill a request?

For an existing client, job orders can take as little as a day to a couple of weeks to fill. A new client usually needs a little more time for credit and reference checks, and exceptions can be made to expedite the process for new clients needing employees ASAP.

What if I'm not happy with my placement?

On a new employee's first day we check in to make sure they're meeting your standards. With our 4-hour guarantee, if you are not satisfied, we will find a better fit and replace the employee at no charge.

How does roll over work?

Employees are eligible to roll over after completing 8 weeks and 320 hours worked. You become the legal employer and take over payroll, workers' compensation and benefits on the date we agree on. You're never required to roll anyone over, and there is never a rollover fee.

Why use a staffing agency?

We allow you to focus on running your business. It's a great resource if you want to test the employee out before making a job offer, don't have the time to recruit and hire, don't want to cover all the expenses involved in hiring a new person, or just have a job for a couple of days.

Need people on the job?

No contract. No fees until someone is on the job. Since 1980.
