Why People Choose Element Staffing
Element Staffing goes above and beyond to create a pleasant experience for everyone involved in the hiring process. It is obvious that Element Staffing is committed to providing exceptional service to its clients and candidates. Their staff is always friendly, helpful, attentive, and responsive. Element Staffing delivers every time.
Excellent staffing agency! The owner and his team are helpful, realistic, and regularly available. Candidates provided are of value to my team, and some we’ve even hired full-time. I couldn’t be happier to have a great source of temporary staff.
My recruiter went above and beyond to help me find a position that fit my needs and was even able to ask the company I am currently placed in for higher pay for me. They were nothing but kind and enthusiastic, which made my experience with Element Staffing more than satisfactory.
Element Staffing continues to provide us with excellent service. Jake and his staff have always been more than accommodating with our staffing needs.
The communication between the recruiter and me was incredible. I can tell she was doing everything she could to land me an opportunity while also giving me plenty of advice and practice interviews throughout the process. I was very satisfied with the level of care I received in my hiring process.
I love that Element Staffing focuses on scientific roles. Other temp agencies have such a broad range of clients that their recruiters aren’t able to understand the needs of the science industry. At Element Staffing, their screening of candidates seems to narrow down the candidate pool in a way that we’re only getting qualified candidates who fit our needs. We have hired many Element Staffing temps into permanent positions.
The professionalism and effective communication between employees and management has always been constant. Not only so, but they see the value in each individual and see them as more than just a worker, but as a person as well. Genuinely in your best interest while also keeping an eye to provide the next best candidate for a great opportunity!
I had a great experience with Element Staffing. They made my transition into the workforce very smooth and made sure I was prepared. They also were prompt with any replies to questions I may have had.
Element Staffing prepared me well for the interview and provided me with all the information (prior to and after I got the offer) that I needed in a timely manner. Also, my pay is always on time.
From the very beginning, I had respectful, sincere, and professional interactions with my contact at the agency, and I liked the job placement that resulted. Big thank you, Element Staffing!!
