1. What kinds of
positions do you fill?
We are a full-service company offering assistance to our clients in general
clerical, information and word processing, IT, secretarial, customer service,
light industrial, and assembly positions. Through our
Legal Northwest division we
also provide all levels of support and professional staff for the legal and
corporate markets.
2. Who would be my primary contact within your organization?
The Account Executive assigned to the territory where your company is located
would be the primary sales contact for your organization. However, our Staffing
and Personnel Recruiter who interview and evaluate our temporary employees
become your contact for placement purposes. Our branch management, sales and
staffing group acts as a team in the effort to place the best employees
available.
3. What screening and evaluation processes are used?
Prospective temporary employees complete a very thorough application process
before being considered for hire. This process includes a battery of written and
hands-on skill tests; our
evaluation program enables our branch staff to thoroughly assess candidates'
word processing, data entry, accounting, programming and secretarial skills. The
Insight Worldwide Survey tests an individual's propensity toward
substance abuse, theft, violence, deception. We also verify previous job
references (minimum of three). Only those applicants who have high-test scores,
low Insight results, strong references and a pleasant, professional attitude,
will be qualified to work for NSR/RSG.
4. How about handling large projects?
Absolutely! Every year we handle large conventions, inventory projects, and call
center programs in Portland and Bellevue. In addition, we have managed major
bank conversions in Oregon and Washington. Large projects are an important part
of our business.
5. Can you provide Vendor On-Site options?
Yes. These options can take any form, from dropping off paychecks to a full-time
on-site staff who manages all aspects of your temporary staffing, designed with
your flexible needs in mind.
6. Facilities Management? Payrolling?
We will customize a plan to manage whatever aspect a client needs. Managing
entire work functions within a client's location (facilities management) plays a
key role in our growth strategy. Many companies like to utilize the talents of
former or retired employees but cannot rehire them on their own payroll. Some
companies prefer to do their own recruiting for special projects but do not wish
to put these people on their own payroll. When payrolling employees, we cover
all workers compensation and payroll taxes. Whatever the case, NSR/RSG can help!
7. How do you handle short notice assignments?
All branch offices have 24-hour answering services for evening and weekend
needs. During office hours, our staff will contact the appropriate temporary
employee and call the client back within 15 minutes with a progress report.
8. Where are your offices and divisions located?
Throughout the West. We currently have offices located in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Arizona and California. For specifics, see our list of
branch
and division locations.
9. How much does it cost to use temporary employees?
The billing rate is determined by the skills needed by the temporary to fulfill
the specific requirements of the job order. A specific rate will be discussed
upon concluding a review of your needs.
10. How is that cost determined and what is included in the rate?
In addition to the wages paid to the temporary employees, our billing rates
include statutory employee taxes, workers' compensation, administrative
expenses, and employee benefits.
11. Is the employee's performance guaranteed?
We guarantee your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied, you will not be
charged. We guarantee our employees for a full eight hours and if for any reason
an employee's performance is not satisfactory, we will send in a free
replacement on the second day, in addition to not billing you for the first day.
12. What benefits are provided to the temporary employee and who pays for
these benefits?
In order to attract the most qualified and skilled employees, we offer one
of the most competitive benefits packages in the industry. This include
excellent hourly pay rates, merit raises, holiday and vacation pay, 401(k) match
retirement plan, referral bonuses, annual scholarships, and access to group
medical plans.
