Core Team Staffing provides a level of expertise that far exceeds some employers’ human resources departments. Employees of Core Team Staffing generally have a higher level of expertise regarding job knowledge, employment trends and recruitment practices due to their continuous and varied placements with a variety of employers.

Small businesses typically do not have large human resources departments with dedicated recruiters. Your human resources administrator may have multiple duties, including payroll, benefits and hiring. Your human resources administrator may have to spend days reviewing hundreds of unqualified resumes before deciding upon a handful of appropriate candidates to pre-screen and interview. Core Team Staffing can instead assume this role and its numerous responsibilities. This can be very useful when you have a specialized position requiring a candidate with unique skill sets. Core Team Staffing will simply send you qualified candidates to interview, so all you have to do is choose the best personality fit for the position!

Using Core Team Staffing can result in lower costs associated with not having to hire additional human resources staff to recruit applicants. In addition, because Core Team Staffing manages the entire employment process, we also relieve employers of costs related to pre-employment testing, background investigations, and drug screening. Employers can also save money related to the expense of payroll processing and benefits administration.

Core Team Staffing can serve as your human resources department, handling the functions of attracting qualified candidates for your business, administering disciplinary actions, and terminating employees who do not perform to business standards. This can save you money by reducing the space you need for in-house human resources staff, as well as reducing contributions to retirement plans, health-care insurance premiums, and other benefits you would otherwise pay to retain human resources personnel.

Adding qualified employees to your business through Core Team Staffing can also help limit the cost of overtime payments made to existing employees by reducing the number of hours they have to work to meet business and production goals. Reducing overtime can also help save your company money by reducing employee errors caused by stress, fatigue, and burnout.

Training is another expense that affects your bottom line. It not only affects you financially, but employing inexperienced staff may lower productivity and reduce quality. You can reduce training costs, and improve quality and productivity, by employing trained temporary employees supplied by Core Team Staffing. By working closely with Core Team Staffing, you gain access to candidates who are well trained and have experience in the skills your company needs.

Employers find that they can rely on Core Team Staffing to provide them with qualified employees at remarkable savings!

Core Team Staffing has a larger network of available candidates than most employers. Employers looking to hire seasonal workers, for example, would need to advertise job openings, interview candidates, and process new hire documentation for a relatively short period of employment. Core Team Staffing on the other hand, has relationships with hundreds of candidates we have already identified as being dependable, reliable, and conscientious, who can fill a vacancy in a matter of days.

Employers that engage the services of Core Team Staffing in seeking temporary employees have an opportunity to observe employee performance, qualifications, and work habits before offering the temporary employee a permanent job. This can reduce turnover that might normally occur otherwise and instead results in a good fit between the employee and employer.

Using Core Team Staffing for high-volume placements can result in tremendous savings related to turnover, training costs, and the intangible costs of turnover, such as employee morale.

Bringing in temporary workers to handle work overload can prevent the burnout of full-time staff. When work schedules are overloaded, employees can quickly become unmotivated and overwhelmed. This can increase mistakes made as well as decrease productivity. Increased absenteeism is often a side effect when this occurs. By bringing in Core Team Staffing to handle the extra workload, full-time employees can continue to focus on their main job tasks while maintaining their productivity.

Core Team Staffing can also improve efficiency by reducing the time your existing employees have to spend training new hires. We identify the candidates who have previous experience handling the business tasks you need to run your company, so that employees are ready to contribute when they arrive at your door. Improved workplace efficiency allows your employees to generate more sales, produce more products, and reduce errors, which in turn, can improve your bottom line!

If your business has busy seasons, you may want to use Core Team Staffing to fill the extra manpower needs during the high-volume times. This allows you to save money on benefits that you are required to pay for permanent employees. If you do have a permanent opening, you can use Core Team Staffing’s temporary-to-permanent placement option.

A temporary-to-permanent placement gives the employer a chance to try out an employee before making a permanent offer of employment. In some cases, a person may have the experience and education for a job, but simply does not mesh well with the corporate culture. The opportunity to have the person work initially on a temporary basis gives the employer a chance to evaluate how the person will fit in with the corporate culture and other employees. This option also provides the employer time to identify any weaknesses that would not typically be evident in the interview process.

If your company is like most, labour is the biggest line item on your P&L. How do you reduce this? First, trim down staff to necessary levels to maintain normal operations, and then rely on Core Team Staffing to work with you to supplement your staff with trained temporary employees to meet peak production demands as needed. In this way employers can have the skilled manpower they need to remain fully productive during busy times.

• 64% of temporary employees say flexible work time is important to them
• 28% of temporary employees say they work for a staffing company because it gives them the flexibility and time to pursue non-work interests
• 81% of companies cite labour force flexibility as the overriding reason for employing contingent and temporary manpower

If you run a business that experiences surges in sales and/or production, Core Team Staffing can help save you money by allowing you to adjust your staff according to your needs. This can help you avoid spending more than necessary for wages when sales and/or production decline.

Flexibility. Job seekers want it. Employers need it. Core Team Staffing provides it.

While most employees give at least two weeks’ notice when resigning, some quit forthwith or must be terminated immediately. When this occurs, the employer’s productivity can be delayed or held back if the vacant position is not filled in a timely manner. Remaining employees also may feel aggrieved if they must take on additional responsibilities for a prolonged period of time. At Core Team Staffing, our approach to recruiting means that we will deliver the right candidate for your vacancy, on time, and with minimum disruption to your business. You let us know what the job entails and what qualifications you are looking for in candidates; we do the rest! This can save you a significant amount of time, as you do not have to advertise the position, weed out unqualified applicants, and then do the background and reference checks for those who are qualified.

To ensure a successful placement, an account representative will visit your business to learn about your organization and the position you want to fill. We find it imperative to become familiar with your methods of operation, organizational structure, and culture. Understanding what you do and how you do it will ensure quality of service.

We will initiate a study designed to identify all individuals who have the qualifications required for the position. In addition, we contact individuals who are known to Core Team Staffing, to determine the exceptional performers who may meet our search requirements.

Core Team Staffing believes in utilizing traditional recruiting practices, our candidate database, and a strong Internet presence. First we will make calls to our vast network of knowledgeable people, in the correct area of specialization, to obtain a candidate list that otherwise would not be found using the Internet. We will simultaneously search our database utilizing state of the art pairing software to identify any potential candidates in our well-developed pool. This will be followed by a thorough search using our vast access to Internet job banks. Utilizing the latest software evaluation technology programs available will enable us to quickly and accurately determine applicant skill levels in a myriad of fields. We will also create customized screening evaluation tools to provide the best staffing solutions for even the most challenging positions.

The prospective candidate list is contacted and screened with application testing to determine their interest and level of qualification for the position. From the results of this initial screening, only the most qualified candidates are chosen for an in-depth assessment.

We will thoroughly assess every qualified candidate, which consists of a 2 hour qualifying process, comprised of a psychographic test and an in-depth interview. Psychographic testing will enable you to determine if the candidate is the right ‘fit’ for your culture, not simply suitable on paper. The interview will incorporate questions on comprehension and core job skills to evaluate and validate a candidate’s knowledge and experience. The assessment tools provide information about an applicant’s ability in the following areas:

• Reasoning
• Problem solving
• Logic and analytical skills
• Language
• Job specific skills

After all interviews and performance testing, we will debrief both you and the candidate, providing immediate and value added feedback.

After the initial in-depth interview and performance testing with Core Team Staffing and upon the candidate’s approval to take the next step, we conduct a thorough reference check, which includes accomplishments and job history. We check 1 reference that will be maintained in our database and 2 to 3 further references when an applicant is considered for an employment opportunity.

Once all final candidates have been interviewed and the top candidate has been selected, we will then employ this individual and take the appropriate measures to hand them over to you.

We will conduct follow-ups with you and the new employee in order to ensure both parties are 100% satisfied with the placement. It is important we receive your continual feedback on the job performance, job satisfaction and to determine if we have a successful match for both parties.

We will continue to stay in touch with you to measure your satisfaction and to make sure the candidate we initially presented continues to develop into a long-term productive employee for many years.
