QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Why should I work as a temp?

Temping is a great way to obtain additional skills in a variety of different office situations. Perhaps you may not have considered a particular area of law and found that by temping, it provided another opportunity. We have placed many candidates in jobs that started out as a temporary position. Of course, you are still able to interview for other jobs while you are temping. It also provides an opportunity to earn money while you search for the right position.

Do I have to take a computer skills test?

We require that the majority of our candidates take a skills test to determine the right fit for you and also the client. Often the candidate is pleasantly surprised as to how well they scored!

Do you check references?

Absolutely. We ask that the candidate bring in three business references. Such references should include the name, title, address, phone number and/or email address.
