1.
How does the process work to hire a temporary employee?
First, we have an in-depth conversation with our client
about the position they need to fill and their requirements. Next, we research
our database and determine who would meet those requirements and find out their
availability. Once we have specific candidates, we provide resumes to our
clients for consideration. Our clients then have the opportunity to interview
any candidates they are interested in. There is no fee or obligation to go
through this process.
2. Can temporaries work part-time?
Yes!
3. How far is the commute usually?
Commutes vary widely. Ultimately, it is up to the
employee. We present offers of positions and employees can accept or
decline. The more flexibility employees have, the more opportunities are
available to them.
4. What kinds of jobs do temporary employees do?
Temporary employees usually fill in a position while a
recruitment is underway. A temporary employee might fill in for a Senior
Accountant, Finance Director, or City Manager, depending on their background
and interests. Temporary employees do all the normal job functions of
that position. Sometimes we provide temporary employees when someone goes
out on maternity leave. Another thing that happens from time to time is
that a client will implement a new computer system and require help with that
project or help to backfill the positions of their regular staff who are
working on the project.
5. How often do you think there would be opportunity for a
temporary employee to work?
In the current job market, the likelihood of receiving a
temporary assignment is good, but cannot be guaranteed. If you need a
"guarantee", this is not the opportunity for you.
6. How much flexibility is there in temporary assignments?
There is a tremendous amount of flexibility. You can always
say "no" to an opportunity and take off as much time as you want between
assignments. Our clients are usually very flexible about work hours, so
you can usually avoid rush hour traffic. We work with people under a wide
variety of circumstances and tailor opportunities to meet their individual
needs.
