Even though the recession is on the wane and the job market is showing signs of recovery, unemployment remains high and is expected to stay high for several months.

Which means that employers will continue to have many hard-working, talented applicants from which to choose.

That’s a good thing, of course, but many desperate job seekers have been applying for just about any position they “feel” they can do, whether or not they truly have the background and skills to do it.

In addition, a resume and interview often can be poor predictors of a candidate’s ultimate ability to perform well in a position and fit in well at your company. As you undoubtedly know, many hires are made by the “heart,” and not the “head,” sometimes resulting in a poor hire.

There are tools that can help you better assess a candidate’s “rightness” for a particular position.

For example, assessment tools exist that can help you match your most talented candidates to the position’s exact requirements. Such a tool allows you to find these top candidates via a job benchmark, thus removing bias and guesswork from your hiring decision.

In addition, many companies offer candidate assessment tools that assess potential employees’ personalities and candidates’ sales and customer service skills. You also can purchase tools that will help you perform pre-employment screenings and background checks, perform 360-degree employee performance evaluations, job simulation tests (in which candidates demonstrate the actual skills needed to perform a position well, and more.

Assessment companies generally will complete an easy-to-understand report and comparison on how a potential employee scores against values, critical thinking skills and top competencies that have been identified as important — or even critical — to success within the position.

 Unemployment Claims

We are liable for all unemployment claims for time worked under our H.R.-you don’t pay a dime. Unemployment claims can be one of the most costly aspects of using employees because you’re still paying a salary—but to a body that’s no longer with you. It is also extremely unpredictable. You never know the number of claims that will go through, or their duration. By shaving off this potential cost, you’re saving money and making your budget more realistic and predictable.

 Taxes

We keep on top of tax issues so that you don’t have to. Not only does this make things easier right now, it means you’ll get to avoid the nightmare of compiling and sending out W-2s when tax season comes.

 Employee Retention

We can provide your employees are now eligible for the medical, dental and vision benefits that they crave. (Eligible after 90 days of solid work.) Even if the money’s good, a lack of benefits can cost you good employees in the end. We also can offer your employees fill in work if your job experiences some downtime. Since they’ll still working through us, they can keep their benefits. Secondly, if they’re working, they’ll have less need to find fill-in work on their own—lessening your risk of losing them. We even top everything off with paid holidays after 90 days. After a year? They become eligible for vacation time! We also have multiple employee recognition program to keep morale at it’s best. Our weekly pay is always a hit with employees. Our ability to offer direct deposit is another strong draw for many—especially those who work out of town. Generous benefits, solid work, paid holidays and other perks result in an aggressive retention program.

 Pay-rolling allows you to offer your key employees exceptional benefits, while also saving yourself the headache of worrying about paychecks, taxes, workmen’s compensation, unemployment claims, holiday pay and even finding your employees extra work when you hit a slow point– we do it all for you. Our H.R. is your H.R.—all you have to do is pick up the phone. Call us today and explore what this low-maintenance employee retention strategy can do for you!
