Why Work with an Administrative Staffing Agency?

An experienced and effective administrative team is indispensable to the smooth operation of an office. Whether you're looking for an office clerk, data entry clerk, call center assistant, administrative assistant, executive assistant, office manager, or any clerical role, it's important to make sure you have the right people in the right job. Whether you’re an employer or a job seeker, there are many benefits to working with an administrative recruiting agency. For an employer, sourcing new administrative talent can be a long and costly process, taking valuable time away from your managers or HR staff. Working with administrative recruiters puts a hiring professional on your team throughout the sourcing and hiring process, giving you the full support of their expertise and professional network, and easing the burden on you and your employees so you can get back to business. Staffing agencies are industry experts in the current labor market and are constantly finding new people, giving the client access to a larger pool of candidates. We have extensive experience sourcing and screening professionals to identify top administrative talent-- it's what we do!

Our administrative and clerical recruiters sift through large pools of resumes on multiple job boards to identify a short list of qualified candidates who are a match for your team culture and position requirements. For temporary projects or contract-to-hire roles, redShift takes all employer responsibilities, including onboarding, payroll, taxes, insurance, etc. This allows our clients to easily and painlessly add to and reduce their workforce to meet fluctuating clerical staffing needs.

If you're seeking work, an administrative/clerical staffing agency can be a bridge connecting you with hard-to-reach local hiring managers. Our administrative staffing services are free for job seekers, so there's no risk, whether you're actively or passively looking. Put simply, we're one more person in your court during your employment search, but, unlike your friend who "might know someone," we have direct connections to active employers and decades of industry knowledge. Our success depends on your success!

Staffing Services

Permanent Placement/Direct Hire Jobs

Direct hire employees are employed by the hiring company. Administrative staffing companies ease the traditional employment process by doing the legwork of sourcing administrative and clerical staff and coordinating interviews and offer negotiations. All you have to do is choose the candidate that's right for your team!

Contract Jobs

Need some extra hands for administrative projects? Contract administrative/clerical staffing saves time and money on human resources functions and allows clients to easily add and cut clerical staff as business needs require. For contractors, it's a great opportunity to gain experience and build skills that will further your career goals without making a firm commitment. Contract roles can be short- or long-term and can even sometimes convert into permanent employment for talented candidates.

Temporary-to-Hire Jobs

Hiring the wrong candidate is costly, wasting time, money, and resources on someone who lacks the ability to be successful in the role or who quits after you've invested weeks of training in them. If you want to make sure a candidate will be a good fit before hiring, or if you are an employee wanting to try something new while keeping your options open, temp-to-hire may be the best route. These roles give both parties an opportunity to test the waters before making a commitment.

Temporary Jobs

Temporary roles are great options for businesses whose clerical staffing needs vary regularly or for individuals looking to get started in a new industry or gain experience and business connections. Temporary employees are redShift employees, which means we handle everything from onboarding to payroll and taxes.

Executive Search

Staffing at the executive level can be a challenge. An executive search firm specializing in office administration and management roles can do the hard work for you. We find the best office managers and executive administrators so you can focus on choosing the individual who will be the best fit for your team.

Remote Positions

Remote work options are becoming more popular, allowing organizations and administrative/clerical support staff to expand their search beyond their local area.

Recruitment Process

Candidate Database & Other Resources

We source the top clerical and administrative support from a large pool of local as well as remote employment seekers, creating a database of active and passive candidates interested in making a move in their careers. This allows our general office recruiting staff to quickly identify and call quality candidates to fill open positions for office clerks, data entry clerks, administrative assistants, executive assistants, call center and customer service staff, and other office support roles.

Job Boards

In addition to our existing candidate database and connections, we also scour local and national job boards for administrative and clerical professionals looking for new career opportunities.

Phone Interviews and In-Person Interviews

All redShift candidates are interviewed by trained recruiting staff over the phone, virtually, or in person. Recruiters are well versed in the right questions to ask to understand candidates' experience and career goals, identifying the best matches for open positions ranging from administrative assistants to office managers.

Reference Checks

RedShift checks professional references for all permanent and temporary roles. Understanding the prior work experience of potential employees is important to verify they possess the skills needed to succeed in their next position.

 

Hiring Process

Once employers are ready to make an offer, direct hire employees follow the onboarding procedures of the hiring company. RedShift assists with offer negotiations for potential employees and can coordinate and deliver any other pre-hire paperwork requirements. Employees working in temporary, contract, and temp-to-hire roles are redShift employees, which means we handle all aspects of employment, including coordinating start and end dates, taxes, workers' comp, insurance requirements, etc.
