What types of positions do you fill?
We are a full-service company offering temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire services.
We assist our clients in general clerical and administrative,
customer service, information and word processing, general accounting, information
technology, technical, light industrial and assembly positions. Our
Legal
Northwest division provides all levels of support and professional
staff for the legal and corporate markets.
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. Our Recruiters who interview and evaluate our temporary employees become your contact for placement
purposes. Our branch management, sales and recruiting groups act as a team to place
the best employees available.
What screening and evaluation processes are used?
Prospective temporary employees complete a very thorough application process before
being considered for hire. This process includes an extensive application and a battery
of written and hands-on skill tests. Our
Proveit! evaluation
program enables our branch staff to thoroughly assess a candidate’s word processing,
data entry, accounting, programming and other skills. The
Insight Worldwide Survey
tests an individual's propensity toward substance abuse,
theft, violence and deception. We also verify a minimum of three previous job references.
Only those applicants who have high-test scores, preferable Insight results, strong
references and a pleasant, professional attitude will be qualified to work for Northwest
Staffing Resources.
What about large projects?
Large projects are an important part of our business. We frequently handle large
conventions, inventory projects and call center programs.
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.
What about facilities management and payroll?
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.
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 with a progress report within 15 minutes.
Where are your offices and divisions located?
How much does it cost to use temporary employees?
The bill rate is determined by the skills needed by the temporary employee to fulfill
the specific requirements of the job order. A rate will be discussed upon
concluding a review of your needs.
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. Our temporary employees are never charged for our services.
Is the employee's performance guaranteed?
We guarantee your satisfaction with our service. We guarantee our employees for
a full eight hours.
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 includes 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.
