Why Us?

Essential Personnel is a full-service staffing agency. We recruit and place people in accounting, administrative, light industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, transportation and professional positions. By having a broad base of applicants and various recruiting resources, we can meet your needs in most areas of your business.

Our recruiting efforts start immediately. We will work directly with you to discuss the details of the open position to ensure we recruit and select the best talent fit for your company. You will be asked to complete our staffing agreement and credit application and provide us with wage information and a job description for the position. This will ensure that we provide you with the best talent available.

We ask questions that give our employment consultants a complete understanding of your organization to find the best-fit candidate for the job and your company culture. These questions include:

• What hard skills are important?
• What soft skills will make the candidate successful?
• What personality traits are required?
• What is the work environment like?
• Who will be the employee's direct supervisor?
• What is the supervisor's management style?
• Will the employee be expected to be self-motivated?
• Will the employee work independently or as part of a team?

Our focus all day and every day is "Connecting Quality People with Quality Careers," we feel our greatest resource is our past, present and future employees. Daily, we recruit, screen and process applicants, allowing us to have a very large applicant pool. This allows you to focus on revenue-generating activities within your company.

Additionally, temp-to-hire services offered at Essential Personnel take the hiring risk out of your hands. If you are not satisfied with a new employee, let us know, and we will find a replacement. We also handle all payroll, taxes, unemployment, health insurance and other costs, so you do not have the administrative burden and remove your stress of sorting through resumes and doing interviews.

• Each candidate completes a detailed online application.
• Qualifying candidates are selected for an in-person interview.
• Their skills, work history and personal presentation are evaluated.
• Candidates who pass these steps are asked to complete relevant assessments (we have over 1,000 to choose from).
• References are checked.

100% of our focus is on recruiting, screening, interviewing and matching the best candidates with your job openings. A primary purpose of using our service is to save you time and ensure all your positions are filled. It is important to move quickly when there is a great match. Setting up additional interviews can often delay the process and risk missing out on this candidate. Customized processes can be accommodated.

The great thing about using our temp-to-hire and temporary services is you only pay for the hours the employee works at your company. If you find the employee is not a perfect fit, we will immediately find a replacement. If you notify us within the first 4 hours of employment, you will not be billed for those hours. We also offer direct placement services and guarantees vary based on the agreement for each client. All clients can access true after-hours service. Speak with a skilled employment consultant anytime.
