Finding the right employees to meet the demands of your business doesn’t necessarily have to be as challenging as you might think it is. At TALCO Workforce, our goal is to help businesses find their niche talent pool and use it to their advantage. To help take some of the mystery out of what we do for you, here are some frequently asked questions about employers, clients, and recruitment.

1. What types of staffing solutions do you offer?

We offer a wide range of staffing solutions to suit your needs including Shipfitters, Welders, Clerical roles and Engineers. Both temporary contracts and permanent placements. Whatever your staffing needs are, we’ll help you find the right solutions in a timely manner.

2. How will your agency add value to my company’s hiring process?

From writing and posting effective initial job postings that contain the most relevant keywords all the way through to the rigorous interviewing process, our talent pool is never lacking. We’ll consult directly with you to understand what you’re looking for in your candidates and then contact each one directly on your behalf to scope out their qualifications. Once we’ve weeded out all of the unlikely candidates, we’ll only put you in contact with the most viable applicants that we’re confident will be a good fit for your business. This process saves you a great deal of time, money, and resources because you’ll only be presented with the cream of the crop.

3. How does your agency find talent?

Our recruiters use a wealth of resources to help source local talent. We have access to various online databases, such as Indeed, that help us find creative ways of locating and attracting potential candidates to the positions our clients are looking to fill. We use social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram to help generate awareness and interest in open positions. These mediums also help us to thoroughly research each potential candidate to get a sense of their likes, dislikes, personalities, and job-related experience. Additionally, we use state-of-the-art applicant tracking systems to keep an updated list of all potential candidates and make relevant notes on their profiles that’ll help you determine for yourself if they’re a suitable candidate for the position you’re offering. Throughout the entire process, we keep you in the loop and accept all feedback that helps us find the most plausible matches for your company.

4. What types of candidate pre-screening techniques does your agency use?

Every candidate must undergo a pre-screening interview before they can move on to the next phase of the hiring process, which involves more in-depth interviews. We start by asking them probing questions to get to know their personality and work ethic as much as possible. This candidate assessment method allows us to gain an understanding of how well they’d fit into your company’s work culture and atmosphere while also helping us determine their level of skill and expertise in your field. After the pre-screening interview, they’ll move on to a second interview where these skills will be put to the test even further.

5. Is your agency an equal opportunity employer?

Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that all applicants regardless of culture or background receive equal working opportunities within the workforce provided that their skills and experience match those required by the companies for which we’re recruiting candidates. We believe in building strong and diverse work environments that help employees thrive and showcase their different talents.

6. Why should I use a recruitment agency to fill positions at my company?

The simple reason is that recruitment agencies take the time to understand all of the specifications you’re looking for in a candidate as well as what your company values are, and we use all of that information to match you with the ideal candidates for your business. We take all of the grunt work out of hiring new employees without removing you from the equation.
