Job Seeker FAQs
How do I apply for a job?
You can search current job openings online and apply for positions that match your skills, experience, and interests. You may also submit your resume so our team can review your background for current or future opportunities.
Some steps may be handled online, by phone, or by appointment depending on the position and hiring process. If an appointment is needed, a member of our team will let you know what to expect.
There is no cost to job seekers for placement assistance. Employers pay for staffing and recruiting services.
A resume helps our team understand your work history, skills, experience, certifications, and the types of roles that may be a good fit for you. Even a simple resume can help speed up the job placement process.
The application collects important employment details that may not be included on your resume or online submission. It helps ensure we have accurate information for job matching, employer review, and hiring requirements.
After you apply, our team reviews your information. If your background appears to match a current job opening, someone may contact you to discuss the position, your availability, your experience, and next steps.
Timing depends on your skills, experience, availability, job preferences, and current employer needs. Some placements happen quickly, while others take more time to find the right match.
Dress in a way that is clean, professional, and appropriate for the type of position. For office or professional roles, business casual is usually a safe choice. For industrial or skilled roles, neat and appropriate work-ready clothing may be acceptable unless told otherwise.
Bring a current resume, valid identification, any required certifications or licenses, and information about your work history. If there are specific items needed, our team will let you know before your appointment.

Some employers require drug screens, background checks, driving records, certifications, or other pre-employment screenings. Requirements vary by position and employer.
Hiring requirements vary by employer, role, industry, and job site. A felony record does not automatically mean you cannot be considered, but some positions may have restrictions based on employer policies, safety requirements, or legal requirements.
Some job sites may require protective equipment or specific work gear. Requirements vary by employer and position. Our team will let you know what is needed before you begin an assignment.
Employer Staffing FAQs
How can a staffing agency help my company?
A staffing agency can help save time, reduce hiring frustration, improve candidate quality, and support workforce needs. Staffing services may include recruiting, screening, direct hire placement, contract-to-hire staffing, onboarding, payroll support, and hiring process assistance.
Staffing services may include direct hire recruiting, contract-to-hire staffing, temporary staffing, onboarding support, payroll services, and recruiting assistance for hard-to-fill roles.
Direct hire staffing focuses on recruiting qualified candidates for professional and long-term business-critical roles. The staffing firm helps recruit, screen, and present qualified candidates for consideration.
Contract-to-hire staffing allows an employer to bring in a candidate for a trial period before making a long-term hiring decision. This can help the employer evaluate skills, reliability, work style, and culture fit.
We support employers in industries such as professional services, administrative services, manufacturing, warehouse and logistics, construction, skilled trades, transportation, finance, accounting, banking, technology, and general operations. The end goal is long-term placement.
