If you’re in the job market, you’ve likely considered working with a staffing agency. But what does that actually mean? For many, the process can seem like a mystery. We believe in transparency. To pull back the curtain, we’ve compiled the top 10 questions we hear from candidates, along with our straightforward answers.
1. How does working with a staffing agency actually work?
At THE RIGHT STAFF, we simplify your job search. Instead of applying to dozens of different companies, you apply with us once. We get to know you, your skills, your goals, and your ideal work environment. Then, we match you with roles from our network of client companies that fit what you’re looking for. We handle the initial screening, interview coordination, and even help with onboarding—so you can focus on preparing to do your best work.
2. Do I have to pay to use a staffing agency?
Nope! Never. Our services are completely free for job seekers. We’re paid by the employers who partner with us to find great talent—like you.
3. Will I get a permanent job or just temporary work?
We offer a full spectrum of opportunities to fit your career goals:
- Temporary: Ideal for short-term projects, seasonal work, or gaining experience in a new field.
- Temp-to-Hire: A great way to “try before you buy.” You work as a temporary employee for a set period, and if it’s a great fit for both you and the company, you can be hired on permanently.
- Direct Hire: For permanent, full-time or part-time positions. We recruit you on behalf of the company, and you become their employee from day one.
4. What types of jobs do you offer?
We staff across a wide variety of industries and roles. Our specialties include:
- Administrative & Clerical
- Customer Service & Call Center
- Accounting & Finance
- IT & Engineering
- Marketing & Sales
- Human Resources
- Mortgage & Closing Support
- …and more!
5. How long does it take to get placed?
This can vary. It depends on your availability, your specific skills and experience, and the current needs of our clients. Some candidates are placed within a few days, while a more specialized search might take a few weeks. Our promise is to keep you updated every step of the way.
6. Can I still look for jobs on my own?
Absolutely! Working with THE RIGHT STAFF doesn’t limit your options—it expands them. Think of us as an extra resource in your corner, giving you access to opportunities that may not be advertised publicly.
7. Will you help me with my resume or interview prep?
Yes! This is one of the biggest benefits of working with us. Our recruiters are experts in the field. We offer resume feedback, interview coaching, and valuable insights into what our clients are looking for to help you feel confident and prepared.
8. What happens if I don’t like the job I’m placed in?
Your success and happiness are our top priorities. If a role isn’t the right fit, the most important thing is to communicate openly with your recruiter. We will work with you to understand what’s not working and help find a better match.
9. Do you offer benefits?
Yes. Depending on the assignment type and duration, many of our placements offer access to benefits like health insurance, holiday pay, and more. Your recruiter will provide all the specific details for any position you’re considering.
10. How often do you communicate with candidates?
We pride ourselves on clear, consistent communication. You are not just a number to us. You’ll hear from your recruiter regularly with updates on your search, feedback from interviews, and information on new opportunities that fit your profile.
