Picking a Staffing Agency To Work With- How and What To Do.

Custom Search

Picking a staffing company is an important step in finding work or finding staff. We recommend using the smaller and local companies (like www.scionstaffing.com) first because they tend to spend more time with their candidates and many times have more interesting jobs. When you are there work with the staffing recruiter to make your resume better. Ask for tips on how to improve it, and ask them if they recommend any other staffing companies in the area.

What To Ask A Staffing Company

The first thing you want to do is find out how to best apply.  Here are some suggestions of good questions to ask when calling them.

  1. Do you offer open temp interview and registration time slots?
  2. What industry they place the most people in?
  3. How many perm jobs do they find monthly for people in the area?
  4. What do you think the best thing candidates get out of meeting with their company?
  5. Are you in need of more candidates in any areas? If so, which?

What to do next?

We recommend registering with two to three staffing options. One small, one large in the area. Always cast a wide next when looking for work though agencies. They have a lot of applicants and can not help everyone.  But if you have gone to three and not gotten any work, I would suggest you rework your resume or rethink your approach.  After meeting with three you have plenty of good options if you are a viable candidate.

TIP: When you meet them. Ask them if they think you are a viable candidate for immediate work, and if so in what area. If they do not say the area you are interested in, ask them how to improve your resume and profile to be able to get the work you desire. But if you don’t ask, you will never know for sure.
