Most staffing vendors sound the same on the first call. These questions separate the ones who vet carefully from the ones who forward resumes.
Quality
- Who screens candidates, and how technical is that person?
- What does your technical assessment involve, and can we see one?
- What happens if a placement doesn’t work out in the first 30 or 90 days?
- Can we speak to two clients with roles like ours?
Compliance
- Are consultants W-2 employees, or contractors through another company?
- Which background and reference checks do you run, and with whose consent?
Working together
- How quickly do you usually submit the first candidates, and how many?
- Is your rate transparent? What’s the pay rate, and what’s the margin?
- Who is our day-to-day contact, and how often will we hear from them?
- What does ending the arrangement look like?
We’re happy to answer every one of these. Book a call and ask.
