Measuring Skilled Success

Apr 11, 2024

As a person that may be responsible for hiring, think of some of the some of the best and worst interviews you have had. Everyone has a story they remember!

Now you probably just thought of a candidate you interviewed looking for work. But when was the last time you interviewed the employment agency that may be working on that open request? Here are some great questions to ask your staffing providers on their ability to fill your Skilled Industrial roles.

What Do You Consider A Skilled Order?
Some agencies consider any order requiring a resume submittal to be skilled. At QPS our skilled division focuses primarily on Industrial Maintenance, CNC and welding roles.

What Other Orders Besides Skilled Do Your Recruiters Work On?
Like any career specialty, the narrower the scope, the greater success that person will have at doing the job right. Our skilled recruiters don’t work on light industrial, clerical or driving roles. They only work on SKILLED INDUSTRIAL orders.

How Do You Source Candidates?
If that agency starts and stops with a posted job, you are missing out on the passive candidates and contacts that we have in our network and database that we have been building since 1985.

How Many Orders Do You Turn Away?
An agency that claims they can fill ANY order simply can’t do it well. Just like you are choosy about the agency you work with, we also screen potential clients and orders. Companies with a poor reputation for safety, culture or pay hurts our credibility as well.

What other questions can we answer for you? Give QPS a chance to show how we measure up and out distance our competitors when it comes to servicing your skilled orders!
