While it is not unusual for temps to be active with more than one staffing company, they do have their reasons for their ultimate choice.
So what matters most?
- Rate of Pay-73%
- Availability/Quality of Assignments-56%
- Honesty of Agency-56%
- Communication about Jobs-25%
- Location of Agency-16%
- Reputation-13%
- Healthcare Insurance-9%
- Non-Healthcare Benefits-3%
Think about this...

FBI database has shortfalls
The point has been made here over the years that criminal background checks have their purpose in the hiring process but they are not foolproof. Consider the following example:
An Arizona fugitive disappeared 30 years ago while on probation for beating a man to death. The man, John Whiting, had been charged 14 times and convicted 8 times while living in Ohio while he was a fugitive. The FBI database failed to make the connection.
How many times do you suppose Whiting was hired by unsuspecting employers over the years?
Staffing employment on the rise!
Staffing employment in September is up 25% from a year ago. The index for September is at 96 or about 39% higher than at the start of the year (69).
This trend seems to be holding up locally as companies expand their workforces but are still slow to make permanent hires. Nationwide the conversion of temps to permanent status is apparently gaining steam according to Fidelity Investments.
Pay card update
As most of our loyal followers, readers and clients know by now, Ryan Staffing converted from paper paychecks to a Paycard (debit card) method for paying all of its employees. This was no small task because we had to do it on the fly, including new employees and those already working.
Compounding the difficulty of this task is the physical dispersion of our workforce over a seven county area.
With the help of our clients, the task has been accomplished and we have been up and running about two months now.
Of significant note, the number of paycheck problems has nearly been eliminated. Checks lost in the mail are now a thing of the past and everyone has their net pay at the same time on Friday mornings. The adjustments for those not familiar with debit card usage were conquered through a very detailed communication program as well as the customer service experts of our vendor Skylight Financial.
Since the programs start we have issued over 2000 cards and we are paying nearly 800 people a week on average with the program. Our thanks to all that helped make this conversion a success.
