When the economy bounces back, many companies will bring on new, permanent staff. Unfortunately, hiring new staff can be scary because you’re basing a long-term working relationship on an impression made in a few moments time. By hiring through us, you have months to evaluate your new addition as opposed to minutes. By hiring your long-term employees through us, you’ll enjoy a fantastic safety-net-an “Employee Warranty”. Whether you let us do the footwork and provide you with the right employee or simply have us manage your own hand-picked employees, you’ll enjoy a priceless “New Employee Warranty” simply by running them through us!
If your workload is getting consistently heavier and you think it’s going to keep increasing, it might be time to permanently increase your staff. Permanently increasing your staff can make your business run more efficiently and can help prevent your current staff from burning out. It also means you only have to train them once, as opposed to retraining temporary employees that you bring on sporadically. Our talented recruiters locate the best trades-people your industry has to offer and hand-pick the best match for your company. Our company also provides you with an “employee warranty.” This warranty removes ALL liability from you for expensive unemployment claims if you complete an employee before hiring them direct, as well as from any potential workmen’s compensation claims that occur while they’re being run through us. When you run a new employee through us, we are liable for potential unemployment claims and workmen’s compensation claims-not you. Even better, you’re exempt from this liability until you transfer them to your payroll!
In addition to protecting you financially, we also handle the extensive preliminary footwork of hiring a new employee such as advertising, recruiting, screening, interviewing, and setting up taxes and benefits. We can also help ensure your employees remain available during your slower times that you need to temporarily cut them lose. If your production suddenly takes a temporary drop off, we can often place your employee on short-term assignments that will allow them short-term work until you can bring them back full-time. Our employee warranty will protect your pocketbook from wrong hiring decisions, and in today’s litigious society, that piece of mind is priceless! Call us today to find out just how easy it is to experience our “Employee Warranty.”

After a decade and a half of solid success in the Northwest, it’s clear that our longevity is due in part to our ability to not just hear what our clients want, but to truly listen to them. Every client is seeking a superstar employee, whether for short, filler assignments, or as a permanent addition to their team. Yet an ideal employee is different for every company. Our recruiters think outside the box and excel in finding out just what type of employee it will take to help your company thrive. First we determine what type of employee you are looking for. Next, as our relationship with you deepens and we understand additional requirements, we then custom-design our employee search around what works best for you. Finally, we add the finishing touches of personalized operating procedures– designed solely for you and your company.
To find the ideal employee, we first have to understand just what constitutes your idea of a “superstar”. Think the perfect employee comes from a cookie-cutter mold? Think again. We understand that the “perfect employee” is unique to each company because everyone’s business is different. Do you need a short-term “fire-starter” that can hit the ground running and jumpstart your project? Does your business require a personality that has a great work ethic, but is content with little room for advancement, instead seeking a corporate “family” to join? Do you need someone that can function well under rotating shifts? Do you want someone who craves overtime, or someone who likes a 40-hour week? Perhaps your ideal employee is the solid, soft-spoken steady worker that never lets you down and follows directions beautifully, or is it the energetic maverick thinker that offers creative strategies? Our goal is not to just find the perfect employee, but to find the perfect fit for your company. We appreciate that a good fit between employees and clients requires more than hard work; it requires insight, along with shared work values and goals.
Once we understand what type of employee is required for your business to thrive, we then customize our search to best fit your individual needs. Some clients are pressed for time and prefer for us to do all the footwork and then deliver the perfect employee to their door-step. Others prefer to be in charge of the final decision by speaking with our hand-picked applicants through phone or live interviews. Whatever method you elect, our recruiters and sales staff will inquire to find out the method works best for you.
Furthermore, we can provide on-the-job safety training, forklift re-certification, welding certification through our fabrication shop, per diem management for out-of-town work, and many other areas. We also offer hand-delivered payroll to our employees at your request and we are always eager to have our recruiters tour your business so they can see first-hand what you do on a daily basis. Our top priority is your satisfaction-and by adapting our protocol to your needs while maintaining our high standards, we continually achieve this satisfaction. Call us today and let us help you find your own unique Superstar-you’ll be glad that you did!
