Workers.com

 

How It Works

Workers.com offers our clients the most comprehensive package of staffing solutions in Northern California. Since 1989, our focus has been contract, contract-to-hire, and direct placement recruiting as well as basic and certified payroll processing. More recently, our capabilities have been expanded to include extra services such as in-house and on-site pre-employment drug testing, criminal background check services, and free site-safety evaluations. Our updated website now offers our customers the ability to place an order for personnel, track the status of our recruiting efforts in real-time, and re-submit previously placed orders with a single mouse click.

Quality Placements

Pre-Screened Candidates

When you hire a Workers.com candidate, you can be assured that they have been subjected to a rigorous screening process, regardless of their profession or skill-level. Our selection process includes:

• An initial phone screen to determine employment eligibility
• Pre-employment survey from Insight Worldwide, testing our applicant's susceptibility to workplace violence, workers compensation fraud, timecard forgery, and on-the-job drug use
• Skills-based testing
• An in-depth face-to-face interview with one or more of our recruiters
• Extra services such as drug screening and criminal background checks at our client's request

We Guarantee Our Placements

All of our contract and contract-to-hire placements are backed by our 8 Hour Guarantee, which covers you if the candidate that has been dispatched does not meet your needs. Our direct placement candidates are also backed by a guarantee while under your employment for the first 100 calendar days.

Hiring Methods Customized to Fit Your Needs

Contract Placements

Workers.com offers contract placement services to cover you in case of work overload, employee vacations, illness or medical absences, special projects, seasonal business peaks, or the need for a flexible work force. These services, as well as our contract-to-hire positions, are billed out on an hourly basis. Why spend all that money on expensive newspaper ads or Internet postings? We pay for newspaper ads and Internet postings, as well as wages, taxes, and insurance on the workers we send you, freeing you to concentrate on the job at hand.

Contract-to-hire Placements

Why spend the time, money, and resources recruiting full-time employees when you can have Workers.com do it for you?

• We offer our clients one of the lowest contract-to-hire conversion periods in our industry, allowing you to "test drive" your potential full-time hires before committing to employing them directly.
• Workers.com takes on all responsibilities and operating costs as the employer of record, which minimizes the legal risks and liabilities involved with hiring someone on your own.
• Contract-to-hire placements are perfect for companies accustomed to high rates of turnover because we are able to absorb your advertising costs, manage the constant influx of resumes and calls from potential candidates, pre-qualify all candidates before sending them to interview with you, and handle bothersome unemployment claims for those employees who don't meet your expectations.

Direct-Hire Services

When you need assistance sourcing candidates for your most challenging openings, Workers.com is able to provide full-scale recruiting services. While all placements leading to full time employment with our clients can be made using this method, we have found that our direct-hire product is best suited for:

• Middle and upper-level managerial positions
• Positions that require control of large amounts of money, materials, and resources
• Positions that appeal to a candidate pool who would otherwise not be seeking contract-to-hire opportunities

Direct-Hire fees are either quoted as a pre-determined dollar amount, or as a percentage of a candidate's anticipated annual income.

Candidate Referral Services

Not all of our potential customers are approved or eligible to take advantage of our standard recruiting methods, mostly due to safety and compliance issues. For a nominal hourly fee, we will provide a source of qualified candidates that you can hire directly. Once your newly hired employee has satisfied our contracted conversion period, our referral fees stop, allowing you to meet your hiring goals while satisfying your company's policies and compliance requirements.

Payroll Services

Attending to all of the daily responsibilities inherent in your business can be challenging when faced with the time-consuming administrative tasks required to process your own payroll. Workers.com can give back those lost hours by doing the job for you, allowing you to focus on selling your business to prospective customers, and servicing your current clients. Due to the shear volume of business we do with our underwriters, Workers.com receives volume discounts, which we in turn pass onto our customers in the form of the most competitive rates in our industry.

Extra Services Upon Our Clients Request*

Pre-employment Drug Testing Services*

Employee drug use in the workplace accounts for issues such as higher injury rates, frequent absenteeism and disappearances from the work site, inconsistent productivity, and progressive deterioration of workplace relationships. For that very reason, Workers.com offers their customers affordable pre-employment drug screening services both in-house and onsite, upon our client's request. Our instant result drug tests screen for 5 major substances and are administered by our staff that have all been trained and certified as drug test technicians. Inquire with us for rates and additional information.

Background Investigation Services*

Setting up an account with background screening providers can be a time consuming ordeal. Workers.com has built relationships with multiple vendors that are able to provide our customers with a variety of background screening services at an affordable rate, including county, national, and federal criminal searches, social security traces, credit reports, employment verifications, educational verifications, and motor vehicle reports. Upon your request, Workers.com is able to pass the benefits of our established vendor relationships and competitive rates on to you.

* Workers.com does not conduct background checks and drug screening on all of their candidates. We offer these services at an additional fee, or incorporate these costs into our hourly rates when establishing your account.
