Frequently asked Questions
Discover commonly asked questions about our recruitment agency and how we can help you find the right talent or job opportunity.
Our services are free of charge for job seekers. We are happy to offer advice and help you in your job search at absolutely no cost to you.
Communication with us is key. If you are on a contract through Staffix Agency and you have another job come your way, let us know the second you get an interview elsewhere. That way, we won’t be totally caught off guard. If you decide to take an offer, we ask that you try to give us a two week notice so that we can find a replacement.
Most of our placements happen within Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, but we do occasionally place people outside of these three states.
The recruitment team will do their best to find you another position once one contract ends. However, we have no idea when the next opportunity will come through, so we can’t promise back-to-back contracts.
We will want to know how your background pertains to what you are looking for, so be ready to talk about your past jobs and software experience. Be honest and upfront – let us know your parameters for your job search. If you get nervous during interviews or are having trouble landing an interview, we want to know these things so that we can help!
Background checks usually take 1-3 days. Drug tests usually take 1-5 days for results from the day that you take the test. Both can be done simultaneously. Your recruiter will notify you if there are any problems. If for some reason you are denied a job because of the results, you will be notified In writing as per in writing with a pre-adverse action notice letter, as per FCRA laws.
Not at all! We want you to be able to stay focused in your job search, so you aren’t required to check in with us weekly. All we ask is that you let us know once you accept a job outside of Staffix Agency and that you respond to us when we are checking in with you.
Contract means that the company does not have a permanent hiring need. Contracts may start as a coverage for someone who is out of the office, or it might be a position that is brought in on a project basis. Contracts can be a great way to get working very quickly and to explore different companies.
Contract to Hire
It is a short-term role with the possibility of becoming a full-time, permanent position when the contract concludes. These short-term roles range from a few months to an entire year. These types of positions start out on Staffix’s payroll until the permanent offer is made. When someone is hired for a contract to hire role, the company already knows they would like to make a permanent offer to that individual after the contract period ends.
Permanent positions are also referred to as direct hire. Staffix’s role in this type of employment is to identify great candidates for a company. The company’s intention is to take that person directly onto their payroll once an offer is made.
We follow whatever the company’s hiring policies are, so this will vary from employer to employer. Not all companies will require a drug test, however all our medical and non-profit organizations do require employees to pass a drug test prior to hiring.
We typically use a standard 7-year background check. Certain companies do require more in-depth background checks, so our hiring standards are consistent with theirs. If you are concerned about any crimes, felonies, or misdemeanors, please disclose this to the recruiter you meet with, regardless of the year it occurred. It will help us know which companies you would or would not be eligible to work for.
