Beginner’s Guide to Working with a Temporary Staffing Agency
A temporary employment agency can transform how your company approaches hiring, saving you time, money, and unnecessary hassle. By leveraging a vast network of experienced, personable workers, professional staffing services help your company grow with reliable workers and a streamlined hiring process. You can say goodbye to time-consuming resume reviews, interviews, and onboarding!
While temp agencies are growing in popularity among top companies, there are still many out there who are unsure what to expect from the experience. Fortunately, we’ve condensed the process down into a single article! In this article, we’ll explain the process, from beginning to end, of working with a temporary job agency.
Initiate Contact
Like any great partnership, it starts by reaching out! You can get in touch with Affiliated Temporary Help by phone at 323-498-3677 or via our online form. Submit an inquiry through our website, detailing your interest, company, and needs. You can include the best methods of contact and the best times for us to reach out to you. The more specific you are, the better we can help!
If you have specific questions, this is the best time to submit them using our message box. This will allow us to provide the information you need more efficiently. Next, we’ll set up a more in-depth conversation where we can get to know your company.
What To Expect From the First Conversation
To make the most of our initial conversation and allow us to provide the best service, you should be prepared to discuss specific information. This includes the job type, pay rate, weight-lifting requirements, hours, job location, employment timeline, and the worker’s compensation code associated with the position.
This is also an excellent time to share any key values your company holds or critical aspects of company culture that are important to you. This information allows our temp agency to pair the perfect talent with your company. It also allows us to better manage administrative aspects to save you money, such as worker’s compensation insurance, payroll accounting, and medical leave.
Getting an Accurate Quote
Once we have your worker’s compensation (WC) code, we can check with our database to see whether we already service similar roles. If so, we can provide a quote immediately, allowing you to decide quickly whether you’d like to work with us. If we don’t service similar roles, we’ll have to check with our insurance provider for a quote specific to your job’s WC code. This quote will serve as the basis for our following discussion on terms, which is one of the final steps to our partnership.
Agreeing on Terms
Once the job requirements and quote are settled, we can discuss the markup and then finalize the contract. The length of this step depends on how quickly we can agree on the terms of the contract. If you’re nervous about the cost of temporary staffing services, consider how much you’ll save by eliminating the costly process of searching for, interviewing, and onboarding new employees.
Starting Our Partnership
Once the contract is signed, we can begin our partnership! At Affiliated Temporary Help, we don’t fill your positions with whomever we happen to find. Instead, we carefully consider each position and the best candidates, considering their experience, skill set, personality, values, and personal goals. We value long-term relationships and work to build trust with each company we partner with, helping them grow with temporary staffing services.
Whether you need warehouse staff or clerical support, Affiliated Temporary Help can provide the talent you need from our expansive network. Call us today at 323-498-3677 or contact us online to begin our partnership and elevate your company!
