What’s the difference between temp and contract-to-hire?
Temp is short for temporary. This means that the assignment is scheduled to last for a limited period of time and at the onset the client did not budget it to become a permanent position. Contract-to-hire means that when the client has expressed an interest in hiring someone permanently in the position but it will begin as a temporary position. Think of contract-to-hire as a working interview. You get the chance to check out the position, environment, and corporate culture while the client checks out your skills, flexibility, and personality.
Do you hire recent grads?
Some of our clients specifically seek recent grads while others don’t. We hire based on the current needs of our clients.

What can I expect my salary to be?
Wages will vary based on your previous experience; the clients pay structure, and the demand of the market. Typically, while temping, you will make a little less than you would if you were hired permanently. However, this is not always true depending on the demand for your skill set in a given market.
I’m relocating in a few months; can I interview with one location and have my file transferred?
