Riverway Personnel - Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy should I use a staffing firm instead of doing a job search on my own?Actually, you should consider working with Riverway Personnel in addition to (rather than instead of) performing your own job search. Our professional recruiters have developed relationships with hiring managers in Houston's top companies, and they often have access to jobs that are unadvertised or unavailable to individual job seekers. A staffing company can also serve as your advocate within a company, helping you command the best pay rate and career advancement opportunities possible. Contrary to popular belief, you can often receive a higher pay rate when working with a staffing company than on your own. How do I select a staffing firm to work with? You should expect the same things from a staffing company that are expected from you as a candidate - professionalism, responsiveness and a drive to succeed. The recruiter you work with should have a proven track record and a wide array of contacts at top Houston companies. You should be aware, though, that the availability and type of job openings vary greatly from week to week. While you may not be called immediately after you submit your resume, you will always be considered for open job assignments in your field of expertise. Why should I consider working contract instead of looking for a permanent job? Many candidates choose to work contract as a long-term career choice. They like the flexibility and independence of working on contract or project assignments, which can range in length from two weeks to six months, and sometimes even longer. Others like to increase their marketability and improve their skills through diverse assignments with many different companies. Of course, many skilled professionals are still looking for a "permanent" position with a top performer. Either way, Riverway Personnel can work with you to locate opportunities that will help you meet your career goals. If I work with a staffing company, who is my employer? While on assignment, you are actually the employee of the staffing company. The staffing firm is responsible for paying you and for processing all of your tax contributions, rather than the company at which you are working. As such, any questions you have regarding paychecks and employment conditions should be directed to the staffing company. |
