Referral Staffing Services
How Our Referral Hiring Services Work
Have a candidate that you think is right for the job, but adding them directly onto your payroll isn’t right for you? Reduce onboarding risk with our unique Referral hiring services. We employ candidates until you are ready to hire.
In our Referral hire services, YOU find the employees, and Staffing Support Specialists is the employer. Here is how our process works:
Your source candidates: As the employer, YOU are responsible for sourcing candidates.
Temporary employment: Staffing Support will employ the candidate until you, the employer, are ready to hire them directly. We conduct the I9s, background checks, drug screening, payroll, and pay unemployment taxes and worker’s compensation insurance.
Seamless transition: There is NO minimum time before you can hire a referral employee directly onto your team – nor are there additional fees.
Proactive and transparent communication: We proactively reach out to employers while going through the referral onboarding process.
