    • Does the temp agency have workers in your geographic area?
    • What type of customer satisfaction reputation does the temp agency have?

After you have interviewed several temp agencies and have narrowed your selection to a few potential candidates.

When you make your visit, be sure to go over the following points:
  • What testing and screening process does the temporary agency use when evaluating the temporary candidates?

  • Rate information:
    • Billing rates?
    • How long will those rates be set in place?
    • How are the temporary workers categorized into their skill level and corresponding rate of pay?
  • Payment procedures
    • What are the acceptable methods of payment?
    • When are payments due for the temporary worker?
    • What specific billing methods will be used?
  • If you would like to hire the temporary worker on a permanent basis, what amount will you have to pay to the temporary agency?
  • Does the agency have worker's compensation, liability insurance, and errors and omission insurance?
  • Are the temporary workers of the agency bonded?
After you have obtained the previously discussed information, you will be able to make an informed decision about which temporary agency is the best fit for you and your needs. When you make your final decision, be sure to:
