Methods of Hiring Through David Wood Personnel
Temporary/Contract Staffing
You may contact one of our Personnel Supervisors (Temporary Personnel Coordinators) with a description of the duties and experience requirements needed for a person(s) to work at your location for a period of time, from a minimum of four hours to an indefinite period. Our Personnel Supervisors will select the best qualified temporary available and confirm with your company the temporary employee’s name, the hourly bill rate and the starting date and time.
Our Temporary Employee documents his/her time on our electronic time card and verifies his/her hours at the end of each week by having your supervisor at your location electronically approve this Time Card. We pay our employee and bill your company for the hours worked.
For longer term assignments you may interview several candidates and choose your favorite(s).
Best Use: Short term projects, medical leaves, seasonal employment, etc.
Probationary Hire® or “Temp to Hire”
When budget is a consideration, “Temp To Hire” has become a popular method of hiring. You may select a candidate from several referred to you and they will work for you while still on our “Temp” payroll for a probationary period of 13 weeks (520 hours). During the 13 weeks you will pay only the agreed hourly rate quoted to you. You may terminate the Temp at any time without further obligation by either terminating them yourself, or having our Personnel Supervisor terminate or replace the employee. After the 13 weeks (520 hours), you may transfer the employee to your payroll without additional cost.
