and demonstrate this by our repeat business with small and large

is strong confirmation of our mutually rewarding partnerships. (See

Q: How can I know that I am getting quality candidates,
ones like I would hire on my own?
A: We align ourselves to match the expectations of our clients.
Our staff is committed to knowing our customers’ needs. Representatives
visit job sites before starting employees to ensure we are making
the best match for our customers. We take great pride in our thorough
screening process. We recruit carefully, interview and screen thoroughly,
test precisely and respond quickly. It is through these screening
tools that we determine if the candidate will be a match for our
customer.

A: Yes. Allied gets its best employees from referrals. We also
appreciate being referred to business associates when we have done
a great job for our customers.
Q: How do you recruit your employees?
A: Allied maintains a comprehensive network of recruiting sources.
We have ongoing media advertising programs geared toward recruiting.
We have a referral bonus program geared toward our existing employees.
Job fairs and open houses are held in the community to effectively
locate candidates in the vicinity of your company. In addition to
our recruiting efforts, we consistently implement retention programs
to keep our workforce active with Allied.
Q: What are your bill rates?
A: Bill rates vary according to employee skills and experience
required. Please contact one of representatives for bill rates.
Q: What is the policy if we want to hire one of your employees
assigned at our company?
A: Allied offers a temporary-to-hire program that allows you to
evaluate a temporary employee before making a hiring decision. The
employee remains on Allied’s payroll during this time, and
you are billed at an hourly rate. This saves recruiting time and
expense for your company when you have a full-time opening. Please
contact our office for more details.
