your qualifications, and contact you to set an application
appointment if your background and qualifications are a good match for our
openings.

receive
an employment offer from you?

and keep you busy! We have a pre-screening process which must be
completed first, including skills assessment, personal interview,
and references, which may take several days to complete.

of positions do you staff?

Q: How much will I make with
your company?
A: Our positions vary
in pay,
depending on employee qualifications and the specific opportunity available.
Currently, the starting pay for most of our opportunities is
between $11 - $16 per hour.
Q: Do you
offer permanent placement?
A: Many (almost
60%!) of our
positions have the opportunity for permanent placement. Even if you are not on a "temp-to-hire"
assignment, you are inside the company, making contacts, and
learning about how they do things! This gives you a huge advantage
when an opening arises, for which you may apply.
In addition, we
have a direct-hire division which focuses on high-end permanent
placement opportunities. For more information, please visit

Q: How long does it take to
fill out an application?

analysis and assessment, personal interview, and work history
profile, to ensure that we present opportunities that best meet your
qualifications, interests and employment goals.
Q: What if I'm only looking for part time or short-term work?
A: The nature of temporary work
makes it easy to fit most schedules. Tell us when you
are available, and we will discuss any potential assignments we
have that fit your availability. We do ask that you are
available for a minimum of 60 days of placement when you register with us.
