Industrial Temp Agency? Ask these 4 Questions
There are dozens of staffing companies, so you do you choose the right one? I have over 10 years of experience in the industry, and I want to give you the best questions to ask an industrial temp agency. That way, you can find the best staffing agencies to help with your job search.
1. Are your recruiters trained on Welding, Warehouse, and CNC skill sets?
When it comes to specialized roles, you need a recruiter that can understands what you do. A TIG Welder is not the same as a MIG Welder. A Lathe and Mill have completely different skill sets. Make sure the recruiter you work with understands your unique and specialized skills sets. Check out our specialties.
2. Is your industrial temp agency headquartered locally?
Most industrial temp agencies do not have local headquarters. Let’s face it, you want to work with the best. A lonely recruiting outpost is not going to have the resources like a company headquartered in the region. At Integrity Staffing, we purposely focus on Oregon, so our attention is not divided. We spend countless hours making relationships with local businesses, so when you walk in, we have job leads to give you.
3. How long has your industrial staffing agency operated in the region?
When I search for a job, I want an industrial staffing agency that has some longevity in the area. New offices are still building their connections, and you won’t find as many job openings with a new branch or company. For example, Integrity Staffing has built relationships for over 20 years in the region. This means we maximize the number of companies you get access to. Stick with a company that has a long history of networking in the area.
4. Do you have a proven track record in recruiting?
Needless to say, you want to make sure the industrial temp agency has actually performed. They should be able to provide testimonials and a track record of performing in your skill set. Some companies say they’re a welding staffing agency in hopes to build that client base. Make sure they’ve actually done it before you become their next guinea pig.
