We have the opportunity to be career matchmakers for both our client companies and our candidates. Advice that I would give to a new employee at Upscale Staffing would be to plan and prioritize your day properly, make your calls to your candidates or client companies, don't procrastinate, conduct your candidate interviews, find out exactly what your clients are looking for in a candidate, make your follow up calls, set individual goals for yourself, try to reach your team goals, be a team player, ask questions when you need to, attend staff meetings, training sessions, etc. Fri, 09 Feb 2007 02:26:21 GMT http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/87332?answer_class=AnswerBase http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/87329?answer_class=AnswerBase Upscale Staffing is unique because we provide the best in temporary, temp-to-hire, contract, internship, seasonal employment, retiree and employee re-hiring, and permanent placemcent services to our clients and candidates.

Training consists of 4 modules of training that are broken up into two weeks per module. They are also required to attend online or live conference call training 3 days per week. Once the training modules have been completed, the Staffing Coordinator or Account Executive will then take a certification test. If they pass, they will receive additional certification training. After six successful months within their position, the Staffing Coordinator or Account Executive is offered the opportunity to train for another position or possibly enroll in our managment training program.

If a candidate has submitted a resume for a particular position, the Staffing Coordinator will review the resume to determine if the candidate is qualified. If the candidate is qualified, the Staffing Coordinator will contact the candidate to discuss the position in greater detail, determine the needs of the candidate, have them to agree to be represented by Upscale Staffing, complete a candidate questionnaire, submit references, etc. The Staffing Coordinator will then verify the candidate's references, perform necessary background checks, schedule a phone interview and once the interview is completed, the Staffing Coordinator will forward the candidate to the Team Leader if the candidate meets all of our client company's minimum requirements. The Team Leader will then conduct another more thorough interview to ensure if the candidate is really qualified and if the candidate is able to withstand an interview with our client. If the Team Leader approves, the candidate is then submitted for the position. If the candidate is not approved, the Staffing Coordinator is informed of whether the candidate really is qualified for the position, a good fit or state whether the candidate requires additional coaching prior to interviewing with the hiring manager.

Obtaining reports on time.

However, the most rewarding aspect of my job is when the fees roll in, on time of course.

This ensures that the family is healthy and it allows more opportunity for parents to be active in their children's lives. I have noticed a tremendous change in my children and I am also there for those moments when they need me most. Sun, 11 Feb 2007 14:56:23 GMT http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/174118?answer_class=AnswerBase http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/174116?answer_class=AnswerBase I started out recruiting travel nurses virtually, from there I began working virtually recruiting for an LLC for Healthcare positions. It was clear to me that Healthcare was my niche. I then began recruiting for Upscale Staffing in 1997 virtually and decided to get a feel for the corporate sector in 2004 where I took a contract position with one of the top securities firms in the industry. Once my contract ended, I returned to Upscale Staffing as a recruiter and was appointed Staffing Director last year.

Not only are you helping candidates to find employment but you are also helping employers locate quality, reliable employees who will represent their companys to the best of their potential (at least you hope to achieve that). You must start by learing all there is to know about the recruiting industry, seek the area that you have a passion for because you will do your best business there, be patient and establish goals, plan your day accordingly, and put in as many hours as it takes to get the position filled.

I quickly learned that it gets really hot during the summer and working in the Rib Shack for the Country Kitchen was not going to cut it. That year I learned that the Restaurant business and type of service was definately not my cup of tea. I am strictly cut out to work in an office which is what I've done from that time forward.
