FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Can we hire Dolphin Staffing employees permanently?
Yes, we can provide you with the opportunity to hire any of our employees for a nominal fee. The fee is dependent on the length of time the employee has been at your office.

Can Dolphin Staffing conduct background investigations and/or drug testing?
Yes. We can conduct background checks, drug testing and employment verifications as well as credit history checks. These checks can be as in depth as required.

Isn't it too expensive to use contingent employees?
No. When you factor the costs to recruit, hire and train employees yourself, as well as the costs of unemployment and workers' compensation insurance, using contingent employees is a very economical and cost efficient HR strategy.

Why would I use a staffing service when I can place an advertisement and solicit resumés?
When a company places a 'help wanted' classified ad, more often than not, 90% of the applicants are unqualified. The other 10% meet some of the requirements but rarely all of them. At Dolphin Staffing, our business is providing appropriately qualified employees. We recruit, screen, test and interview dozens of applicants every day. Our database is filled with quality candidates who are searching for employment opportunities. Using a staffing company is a much more efficient way to fill a position or positions versus soliciting resumés yourself via 'help wanted' classified advertising.

Why are your employees working as temporaries?
Contingent staffing companies like Dolphin Staffing serve as a bridge for employees searching for the "right" position. Qualified men and women from varied backgrounds look to us to help them find positions that best fit their skills and experience. Some of them may have recently relocated, are looking for a career change or have completed their education and want to explore their options before committing to any one company. Working as a contingent employee offers flexibility, variety and a chance to control personal employment needs.

How much notice do you need for filling positions?
At Dolphin Staffing we can fill same day orders in less than an hour, or we can accept job orders for known medical or maternity leaves months in advance. Whatever the circumstance, we are here to meet your staffing needs in a timely and efficient manner.

What happens if a temporary employee does not meet our expectations?
Should any Dolphin Staffing employee fail to satisfy your expectations, simply call one of our staffing consultants and we will promptly replace that individual or provide an appropriate credit to your account.

Do you have competitive prices?
At Dolphin Staffing our bill rates are extremely competitive. Depending on the type of employee(s) required as well as usage volume and other available services you may wish to utilize, we are more than happy to work with your company to create a contingent staffing program that meets your cost parameters.

How do you test your candidates?
We have a comprehensive testing process. Each candidate is tested on a wide variety of skills and programs.

Is there a payment or penalty for ending an order early?
No. However, we do ask that you give us as much notice as possible so that we can expeditiously place the employee on another job assignment.
