“TEMPING”
DEBUNKED
We know some skepticism and uncertainty exist when it comes to temporary work. In speaking with thousands of job seekers, we’ve found many of these notions are based on a few common misconceptions! Find out if “temping” is the right fit for you as we uncover the truth behind some of staffing’s most common myths.
FICTION: STAFFING FIRMS TAKE A PERCENTAGE OF MY PAYCHECK. FACT: Elwood staffing never takes a percentage of your hourly pay, and you never pay a fee for our help. We make money based on fees we collect from employers, not you.
THINK THERE’S NOTHING TO GAIN BY “TEMPING”? HOW CAN 16 MILLION PEOPLE BE WRONG!
FICTION: STAFFING FIRMS DON’T HAVE JOBS I’M INTERESTED IN. FACT: We’re in constant need of talent to fill openings in nearly every industry at almost every size of company. Plus, we have
access to unadvertised opportunities you can only find with us. We serve clients with needs in a variety of industries and disciplines like automotive, engineering, clerical, customer service, and more. With so much variety, we’re bound to have a position you’ll love!
FICTION: STAFFING FIRMS DON’T CARE ABOUT MY HAPPINESS OR PERSONAL GROWTH. FACT: The first step in Elwood’s process is listening. We take the time to learn about your character, ideal work culture, and specific skill set, and then we find opportunities that match. Elwood Staffing has more Certified Staffing Professionals than any other staffing firm in the world, meaning our staff is full of credentialed professionals who’ve become experts at helping you pursue your passions.
FICTION: STAFFING FIRMS DON’T OFFER REAL, PERMANENT POSITIONS. FACT: If temporary gigs aren’t your thing, we have more to offer you. Aside from short- and long-term temporary work,
Elwood Staffing also offers temporary-to-hire and direct hire placements. According to the American Staffing Association, one-third of employees who completed an assignment were offered permanent employment.
FICTION: ONCE I’VE COMPLETED MY ASSIGNMENT, A STAFFING FIRM WON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME NEXT. FACT: Once you’ve completed an assignment through us, we’re actually more likely to call you back and get you to work faster because of your proven track record. Elwood’s local teams are committed to finding you jobs and work situations that fit your needs, so we won’t forget about you after a completed assignment.
