Recruiting and Training Strategies
The People Place is extremely creative in obtaining the right candidate for the position. We use a multitude of innovative approaches for recruiting. Instead of waiting for the appropriate applicant to walk in, we actively and aggressively seek out applicants. This approach provides us with a diversified work force pool from which to find and select candidates. In order to determine we have the best candidate for your assignment, we also have bilingual staff. We also use:
Immigration and Naturalization
The Kentucky Job Service
The Board of Education
Trade and Business Schools
Television
Newspapers
Direct Mail
College Placement Office
Service Organizations
Networking
The People Place may provide training specific to particular company when scheduled in advance. In some instances The People Place will videotape a company's environment that shows actual workplace. This serves two purposes: 1) to determine if this is the type of environment an employee will enjoy and 2) helps with safety review.
Screening and Evaluation Process
The People Place has a staff of professionals who are carefully trained in the areas of screening, checking prior work references and testing all applicants who apply for temporary job assignments with us. The People Place, Inc. screens and tests applicants based on your needs.
The People Place requires all applicants to fill out a standard informational application, which includes work history, experience, and skills. These applications are in both English and Spanish. The applicant also completes standard release forms for the reference checks, police checks, and drug testing. Applicants for clerical positions are tested on vocabulary, arithmetic, filing and office procedures. We automatically test for typing speed, accuracy and data entry accuracy using PROVE IT! Testing Software. Word processing software packages include, but are not limited to: Word Perfect, Word for Windows, Excel for Windows, Lotus 123, Microsoft Word, and other various Window packages. Industrial applications also complete testing on arithmetic, ruler skills and dexterity.
Account Representation/Availability
Clients have access to The People Place staff on a continuous basis. During normal business hours they can be contacted at the office. After hours, including weekends, staff (Sales and Recruitment) can be reached via cell phone for both English and Spanish communication.
Laptops are available for on-call recruiters that contain the database of applicants for easy access to fill immediate needs.
We provide Workers Compensation Benifits for The People Place employees, through Kentucky Employers' Mutual Insurance. A copy of the Certificate of Insurance is available for your review.
Drug Screening/Background Checks
10 panel Drug screening is provided per customer request.
We also sell on-site drug testing kits that you may purchase to perform your own drug screening activity. The current pricing is $17 per individual.
We use an on-line service (Securint) to perform background checks. Several search options are avaliable: such as criminal, civil, credit, driving, employment, licenses, education, etc.
You have a choice of using time cards or time sheets for any People Place temporary employee.
If you choose time cards, the temporary employee is responsible for completing hours and days worked and an authorized supervisor from your company must sign the time card.
Volume users of temporary employees usually choose time sheets to track hours worked. A supply of The People Place time sheets will be given to you at the start of an assignment. Temporaries will sign in and out each day they work. A company supervisor must sign the time sheet at the end of each work week to review the accuracy. No temporary employee is issued a paycheck unless The People Place, Inc. has received an approved time card or group time sheet. Time sheets may be faxed or emailed to The People Place of Florida, Inc. office.
It is a practice of The People Place to do an on-site visit prior to contracting with companies, and/or assigning employees, to determine that proper safety equipment is in use. In the event the employee needs personal protective equipment, The People Place can provide limited equipment. (examples: steel toe caps, goggles & earplugs)
By performing an on-site visit prior to contracting we are able to view what preliminary safety instructions may need to be passed on to the employee. For Hispanics, we will provide instructions in Spanish.
The People Place can provide you with an On-site Coordinator to organize and monitor volume numbers of temporary employees during each shift or for a specific shift. On-site Coordinators act as a liason between your company and The People Place client representative assigned to handle your needs. They track and process temporaries by monitoring attendance and maintaining all communication in addition to being a temporary themselves. This service eliminates down time for you. You can also utilize a Team Leader who acts in much the same manner, the main difference being that a Team Leader leaves when the shift is complete.
