Business Services / Office Clerical

On August 19, 1810, the USS Constitution engaged the HMS Guerriere. The battle lasted 35 minutes. The story is told that cannon shots from Guerriere made no impression upon the outside planking of Constitution, but fell into the sea, whereupon one of the British sailors shouted, "Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!" Thus, Constitution earned her title of "Old Ironsides."

Through strong and weak economic tides, and though competitors may come and go, Staffing Solutions continues to recruit and place business services/office clerical specialists with our client companies. We promise unimpeachable professionalism and high performance standards. A bit like the USS Constitution.

Assignment Types: Temporary, Full-time and That-Thingy-in-the-Middle

Our applicants come from a variety of backgrounds.

Many are working their way through college or returning to work after focused family time. Some are switching careers altogether and find working through a staffing company to be the perfect way to explore different fields, consider their work environment strengths, and evaluate different management styles.

Temporary Assignments
Temporary assignments can be short-term or long-term and can vary in duration from four hours to many months. Candidates benefit by taking advantage of stop-gap employment opportunities or enjoying the variety of work experience and personal-professional balance being "permanent" temporary employees. Client companies profit from time-sensitive and flexible staffing assistance.

Contract-to-Hire Assignments
How much is that "jobby" in the window? Well, the pay will vary, but these contract-to-hire (or "temp-to-perm") assignments usually last from 400-520 working hours. They offer both client company and candidate an opportunity to "audition" the other before offering (or accepting) the position on a full-time basis.

Full-time/Direct Hires
Full-time/direct hires (also referred to as "permanent") positions can offer a seamless employment transition for both client companies and candidates. In this option, the candidate is placed on the client company's payroll from the first day of her employment.

We never charge a fee to our applicants. Our clients rely upon our thorough and rigorous testing, background verification, reference checking and interviewing techniques. Be you a job-seeker or an employer, contact us and we will explain your options.

One Size Does Not Fit All

One size does not fit all. We are not going to treat our candidates and client companies as fungible commodities. We do not "process" our candidates, and we do not work with every company who might contact us.

Instead, we strive to provide an empathic and individualized service for both parties at a fair cost. It's about relationships first, and it's about finding particular people for particular positions.
