Welcome to a new breed of placement agency.

What sets us apart?
First of all, we listen to you and to our candidates. Our approach is very straightforward. We start by gaining a thorough understanding of what you really want and never losing sight of that. So, whether you need temporary, temp-to-perm, or permanent employees, The Job Shop will present candidates that have been screened for the technical skill set and cultural fit of your organization. We pride ourselves in taking a personal approach with each client and candidate to guarantee a successful partnership.

We scour the Bay Area to ensure that we have found the best of the best. And as personal referrals often make the best candidates, we have a great referral system utilizing our most successful placements.

We test our candidates
We provide on-site written math, spelling and grammar testing as part of our screening process and are happy to provide you with individual test scores. We determine our candidates' computer skills by testing on all commonly used Microsoft Office software, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more. Our tutorials help candidates further their computer skills and we've seen abilities and test scores increase after as little as one tutorial session.

We also conduct complete reference checks on all of our candidates.

A candidate or a temp from The Job Shop is an employee that we are proud to present and to have represent us. Our standards have earned us the privilege of working with a diverse group of highly regarded companies throughout the Bay Area.

Guarantee
We realize that interviews and reference checks provide tools to make the perfect fit, but sometimes the candidate doesn't work out on the job. For this reason, The Job Shop guarantees its permanent placements with a 100% refund or credit if the employee leaves or is terminated during the first two months of employment.

Temp-to-Perm
Many clients choose our Temp-to-Perm services, temping a candidate prior to a permanent hire. We find Temp-to-Perm arrangements provide a great "test drive" for both the clients and the candidates. The guarantee for a Temp-to-Perm candidate will be the same as a direct hire (two months) less days billed as a temporary employee.

Permanent Placement Fees
For permanent full-time placements, the fee is based on a rate of 1% per thousand dollars of the annual salary. This will cap at 20%.

Terms
To validate your guarantee, payment of the fee is due to The Job Shop within fourteen days of the invoice date. We will screen, test, and send our candidates to your company to be considered for a particular job order. If you hire the candidate for that position or another within your company, or refer that person to another company, within one year starting from the date The Job Shop presents the candidate to you, the fee as described above is your responsibility.

Payrolling
We can save your company time and trouble by arranging payrolling for a candidate. When you choose to add a candidate to your staff, we offer the convenience of payrolling them through The Job Shop. This saves you the complicated paperwork and is a great solution to paying an employee in a short-term situation.

Temporary Rates
Please phone us in the San Francisco area at 415.227.8610 or in the East Bay area at 510.622.7778 for our competitive temporary rates. If our first quality check call results in your dissatisfaction, you will not be invoiced for that day.
