Here are 4 things to keep in mind when choosing the right temp agency for you:
While it may not seem so important to know the core values of a staffing agency that mostly sends you out to work with other companies, understanding their philosophy can influence your decision.
We take pride in creating an exceptional experience for all our employees
While some temp agencies are built on the idea of transient staff, at Matrix, we are focused on building long-term relationships. We boast low attrition, high retention and accurate labor placement.
Regardless of ECONOMIC FLUCTUATIONS and SEASONAL CHANGES, we have developed a structure that provides long-term, consistent employment as well as opportunities for career development.
More and more temp agencies are offering traditional employment perks including health care, direct deposit and paid vacation days. In fact, at Matrix, 84% of our costs are attributed to wages and benefits.
While some people won’t care about anything more than who pays best, when selecting the right staffing agency, it might be well worth making a little less on each job as a tradeoff for other important benefits.
One of the most challenging aspects of being competitive as a job seeker in an economy with a lot of people looking for new work is discovering that you are the least qualified because of a lack of experience.
When selecting an agency to help place you in the best labor jobs, make sure that they offer opportunities for you to enhance your skill set, be it through continued education or training courses.
