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.
