How much does your employee turnover cost?

Temp-to-Hire is the most effective way to maximize your person-to-job fit.

According to

a recent study

by the U.S.

Department

of Labor, the

cost of hiring

the wrong person

is between

70% and 200%

of that person’s

annual salary.

Many customers of Area Temps, who traditionally enjoy the benefits of a flexible workforce, also find a hidden value in our temp-to-hire program. “Try before you buy” is an effective way to evaluate potential permanent employees. And it can be a real savings, too! When you take one of our referrals onto your permanent payroll, not only do you already know that they are a good fit, you also save both time and money by eliminating the need to advertise, recruit, interview, evaluate and reference check a series of potential candidates.

Ask about our Temp-to-Perm Discount.* Volume customers are eligible to receive a credit on our minimum working day requirement, based on the number of employees currently on assignment with your company.

* Customers of Area Temps are eligible to take our employee onto their permanent payroll after the employee has completed a minimum of 120 working days on assignment. For more details, ask your account representative for a copy of our Temp-to-Perm Policy.

Training Video

TM

With exclusive pre-assignment video training,our employees know the job before they start!

Eliminate the hidden costs of training and re-training with Area Temps’ exclusive on-site video training program.

Does your assignment involve repetitive work? Our camera crew will visit your facility and film an employee actually performing the various tasks. Do you have a standard orientation program for new employees? Recording it to video is another way to use this program effectively.

Once our employee has accepted your assignment, but before they actually report to work, they will watch your company’s video at one of our conveniently located Area Temps offices. With a clear understanding of what is expected, they’ll have a much better chance of getting the job done right the first time!

6 This FREE program is available to any customer of Area Temps.

6 Each video is customized to your company’s exact training requirements.

6 Knowing what to expect will significantly reduce employee turnover.

6 We’ll also provide your HR department with a copy, so they can use our video for internal staffing. Let potential hires see what your job entails before they accept the position.

There is a plethora of temp agencies and we get contacted by many of them frequently. Why have we not utilized any other service? The answer is very basic...(our) account executive does what she says she is going to do! ...What more could you ask for any company? Will we continue to use Area Temps when needed? Absolutely!

The Cleveland Institute of Music has used Area Temps for many years. This past year they have been especially helpful in that they found an administrative assistant for our president. This was not an easy task because we needed a person who had administrative skills, as well as a music background...We have had good experience with Area Temps and will continue to use them.

I have worked with Area Temps, both (in their) industrial and clerical divisions, for several years and have received excellent and attentive service. They know what type of candidates we look for and only provide the best. The representatives are quick to respond and meet our needs on a regular basis. I highly recommend their service.

The Staffing IndustryThe costs associated with a typical temporary bill rate

TM

Visit our website at areatemps.com

Nearly 80% of a company’s cost to employ a temporary worker is directly tied to the worker’s pay, benefits and direct costs. Since staffing is a business in which the vast majority of costs are variable, opportunities for economies of scale are more modest than with many other businesses.

Staffing is also a relatively low margin business. Subtracting overhead and staffing company operating costs leaves the typical temporary staffing agency with a pre-tax operating profit of 1.8% on temporary worker billings.

ASA White PaperDiscover the advantages of using temporary staffing

Why use temporary staffing?

Benefits of Temporary Staffing in a Tough Economy

Today’s economy forces businesses and organizations to make tough choices concerning their employees - which

are both one of their biggest expenses and greatest assets. Employment costs such as insurance, healthcare, taxes,

and benefits are soaring at the same time companies are under great pressure to do more with less. Companies are

urged to run “lean.”

The answer to managing staffing costs, maintaining productivity while running “lean,” and preparing for economic

recovery is strategic staffing.

Mitigate Rising Costs

Healthcare costs, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, Social Security and other staffing costs

continue to rise each year. Staffing can help:

! Provide workers for special projects and peak workloads without increasing fixed payroll costs.

! Reduce overtime labor costs by letting temporary employees work the extra hours.

! By paying benefits, unemployment, taxes, and other expenses that the staffing company assumes

responsibility for in regard to their temporary workers.

Improve Performance

Absenteeism and employees who don’t match the needs of particular jobs lead to wasted time and effort. Staffing

can help by:

! Offering temporary-to-hire options that allow businesses to try out new employees.

! Providing temporary help during peak periods to prevent burnout among core employees, reducing

absenteeism and worker’s compensation claims.

! Smoothing fluctuations in workload; allowing the company to run “lean” and help to avoid layoffs.

! Screening more thoroughly, using the E-Verify screening program to identify individuals with legal rights to

work in the United States and creating customized testing programs from large test databases with national

benchmarking capabilities

Save Time

Using a staffing company saves time in several ways:

! They advertise, screen, interview, test, and reference check to attract potential employees. The business

simply needs to select them for hire.

! Because of pre-employment screening for needed skills, less training is necessary prior to beginning work.

! The staffing company takes care of the temporary associates’ payroll and benefit administration.

Increase Flexibility

! Hiring help as needed allows companies to respond to market demands quickly without adding full-time staff.

! During a hiring freeze, temporary workers can handle the workload without increasing the direct hire

headcount.

! Letting temporary workers handle non-core business functions allows regular staff to concentrate on core

competencies.
