Can I get qualified workers? What is your screening process?
We recruit our employees in the same manner most companies recruit their full-time personnel. We then ensure the dependability and consistency of our workforce by carefully screening our labor pool, and providing our clients with the workers that will best fit their productivity needs. It’s this process that results in our superior performance that customers have come to expect from us. All associates must have consistent work history, good employment references and be eligible to work in the United States. Clients have the flexibility to set their own criteria as well.
