How does a staffing agency work?

First steps

When one of our recruiters reviews your candidate profile and thinks you may be a good match for a career opportunity, he or she will reach out to you via phone, e-mail, or text message to tell you about the role, responsibilities, and if you would be interested in moving forward.

If you are open to new opportunities, the recruiter will invite you to our office in Boca Raton for a face-to-face interview to further discuss your skills, experience, compensation requirements, and of course, career goals. At this point, you will also fill out an associate profile and, depending on the job, perform skill assessments to help determine your software proficiency.

Interviewing

After your recruiter has met you and better understands what your career aspirations are, as well as your enthusiasm for the role, they will submit your information to the company so they can review and decide to move forward with interviewing you.

If you are selected to meet with the client for a face-to-face interview, your CERS recruiter will contact you to schedule it. Your recruiter will also inform you of what to expect, as well as, provide coaching and interview preparation.

Offer

If the client decides to extend an offer to you, your recruiter will reach out to you to discuss the terms of the employment and other essential details.

Types of employment we offer:

Direct Hire

When you are offered a direct hire job opportunity through CERS, it’s similar to as if you got the position without the help of a recruiting agency. Your paycheck comes directly from the client company’s payroll instead of CERS. Any additional benefits or HR processes will be handled by the company directly.

Temp-to-Hire

If you are offered a temp-to-hire position, you are still an associate of CERS while you are on a temporary assignment at our client. If you both agree that the role and responsibilities are a good fit, you are converted to their payroll after a specific amount of time ranging from 4-12 months. Don’t worry – we provide very competitive benefits while you are on CERS’ payroll.

Temporary

A temporary job placement (sometimes referred to as contract) is exactly what it sounds like: it’s an assignment that has a predefined end date. The time period can be anywhere from a few days to a couple of years. During this period, you receive weekly paychecks through CERS payroll and can participate in our benefits program, just like Temp-to-Hire assignments.
