FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs): CLIENTS and EMPLOYERS
Isn't
it too expensive to use contingent employees?
No. When you factor the
costs to recruit, hire and train employees yourself, as well as the costs
of unemployment and workers' compensation insurance, using contingent
employees is a very economical and cost efficient HR strategy.
Can
we hire Bay Area Staffing employees permanently?
Yes, we can provide
you with the opportunity to hire any of our employees for a nominal fee.
The fee is dependent on the length of time the employee has been at your
office.
Can
Bay Area Staffing conduct background investigations and/or drug testing?
Yes. We can conduct background checks, drug testing and employment
verifications as well as credit history checks. These checks can be as in
depth as required.
Why
would I use a staffing service when I can place an advertisement and
solicit resumés?
When a company places a 'help wanted' classified ad,
more often than not, 90% of the applicants are unqualified. The other 10%
meet some of the requirements but rarely all of them. At Bay Area
Staffing, our business is providing appropriately qualified employees. We
recruit, screen, test and interview dozens of applicants every day. Our
database is filled with quality candidates who are searching for
employment opportunities. Using a staffing company is a much more
efficient way to fill a position or positions versus soliciting resumés
yourself via 'help wanted' classified advertising.
Why
are your employees working as temporaries?
Contingent staffing
companies like Bay Area Staffing serve as a bridge for employees searching
for the "right" position. Qualified men and women from varied
backgrounds look to us to help them find positions that best fit their
skills and experience. Some of them may have recently relocated, are
looking for a career change or have completed their education and want to
explore their options before committing to any one company. Working as a
contingent employee offers flexibility, variety and a chance to control
personal employment needs.
How
much notice do you need for filling positions?
At Bay Area Staffing we
can fill same day orders in less than an hour, or we can accept job orders
for known medical or maternity leaves months in advance. Whatever the
circumstance, we are here to meet your staffing needs in a timely and
efficient manner.
What
happens if a temporary employee does not meet our expectations?
Should
any Bay Area Staffing employee fail to satisfy your expectations, simply
call one of our staffing consultants and we will promptly replace that
individual or provide an appropriate credit to your account.
Do
you have competitive prices?
At Bay Area Staffing our bill rates are
always competitive. Depending on the type of employee(s) required as well
as usage volume and other available services you may wish to utilize, we
are more than happy to work with your company to create a contingent
staffing program that meets your cost parameters.
How
do you test your candidates?
We have a comprehensive testing process.
Each candidate is tested on a wide variety of skills and programs.
Is
there a payment or penalty for ending an order early?
No. However, we
do ask that you give us as much notice as possible so that we can
expeditiously place the employee on another job assignment.
