Our Hiring Process

At Area Temps, our staffing supervisors will work with you to find a rewarding opportunity that fits your needs. Here is how our registration process works:

  1. Application
    Your first step is to call the nearest Area Temps location and ask to speak with a personnel supervisor. After we discuss your current career goals, work experience and expectations, if you meet our hiring criteria, we'll arrange an appointment for a personal interview.

  2. Interview
    Area Temps is ready to help you meet your career goals. When you come in for your appointment, your personnel supervisor will conduct a one-on-one interview to assess your interests, experience, career goals and work preferences. During the interview, we will review your work history and identify assignments or positions that may be right for you.

    Once you register with one Area Temps location, your application is automatically entered into our City Search network. Your information will be accessible to all Area Temps offices in the Greater Cleveland area, increasing your chances of finding a position quickly.

  3. Orientation
    When the interview is complete, you will receive the Area Temps indoctrination kit, which reviews our company policies and benefits package, and explains what to expect when you are on assignment.

  4. Paperwork and ID Documents
    If you are hired, you will be asked to complete State and Federal tax forms, as well as the I-9 form. When completing the I-9, you are required to supply two forms of acceptable identification; please be sure to bring them with you to the interview.

    Your Area Temps paycheck is paid via direct deposit. You may elect to have your check automatically deposited to your personal bank account, (please bring a cancelled check), or we will provide you with the Rapid! Paycard when you register.

  5. Testing
    Testing is required of all candidates. You will complete one or more assessments, depending upon your skill set and interests.

  6. Reference Checks / Background Check / Drug Screen
    A preliminary criminal background check is run on every candidate who comes into an Area Temps office to register. It is our policy not to accept an application from anyone with a violent felony in their background. Upon request from our customer, we may also perform more comprehensive criminal, driving record and/or credit background checks before you are assigned. Because Area Temps is a drug-free workplace, we also conduct pre- and re-employment drug screens right in our office, when applicable.
