Getting Started with Your Job Search

1. How do I apply for jobs through Employ Partners?
The easiest way to apply for jobs through Employ Partners is to visit our online job board at jobs.employpartners.com, where you can view all current openings and apply directly to any position that matches your skills and interests.

Our job listings are updated regularly, so we encourage job seekers in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia to check back often (or sign up for job board notifications) and apply to multiple roles to increase opportunities.

2. Is it free to use a staffing agency as a job seeker?
Yes! Employ Partners never charges candidates for our services. Job seekers can apply, interview, and work with our recruiters at no cost. Our goal is to connect you with opportunities that align with your experience, career goals, and preferred work environment – no strings attached.

3. What types of jobs are available right now?
We offer a variety of job opportunities including temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire positions across industries such as light industrial, warehouse, administrative, accounting, customer service, and professional roles. To see current openings – including pay rates, shift schedules, and location – visit our job board at jobs.employpartners.com, where new positions are posted frequently.

4. Do I need experience to apply for jobs?
Not always. We work closely with local employers offering entry-level, skilled, and professional roles. Some positions require specific experience or certifications, while others provide training. We encourage job seekers to review our job board as each position will list whether the role is entry-level or if it has more specific requirements.

5. Can I apply to multiple jobs at once?
Absolutely! We encourage candidates to apply to any positions that interest them and match their qualifications. Applying to multiple roles helps our recruiters better understand your preferences and increases your chances of being considered for current and future opportunities.

6. Why should I work with a staffing agency instead of applying directly?
     Is a staffing agency worth it?
Working with a staffing agency like Employ Partners can give you access to job opportunities you may not find on your own, including roles that aren’t publicly posted. Our recruiters work directly with local employers across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia to match candidates with positions that fit their skills, experience, and career goals.

In addition to connecting you with opportunities, we can provide guidance throughout your job search. From helping you understand what employers are looking for to preparing you for interviews and keeping you informed about new opportunities. Many candidates also use staffing agencies as a way to gain experience or explore new industries.

Understanding the Hiring Process

1. How long does it take to get placed?
The timeline for placement can vary depending on current job openings, client needs, and your skills, experience, and preferences. While some candidates may be placed quickly, others may take longer to find the right opportunity.

Our priority is matching candidates with roles where they can succeed and thrive long-term, not just placing someone in the first available opportunity. We cannot guarantee placement and encourage job seekers to explore multiple job search resources while working with our team to have the best chances of finding their right opportunity.

2. What should I expect during the hiring process?
The hiring process typically begins with submitting an application through our job board. Because we meet with many candidates each week, we recommend following up with a recruiter a few days after applying to confirm your interest and availability.

If your background aligns with current openings, we may schedule an interview and discuss next steps, which could include submitting your resume to a client or identifying future opportunities. We strive to maintain communication, and we encourage candidates to stay in touch and update us on any changes to their job search or availability.

3. How often should I follow up with a recruiter?
Following up every week or two is a good way to stay top of mind, especially if your availability or job preferences change. Because our recruiters speak with candidates daily, staying in touch helps ensure we know you are actively seeking opportunities and ready to be considered for new openings. You can easily update your availability within your Employee Portal or by texting us at 770-953-6054 so we can keep you in mind for new opportunities.

4. What should I bring to an interview with a staffing agency?
We recommend bringing a copy of your resume, valid identification for employment verification, and any relevant certifications or licenses relevant to the job. Come prepared to discuss your work history, skills, schedule availability, and the type of work environment where you feel you will be most successful.

Working with Employ Partners

1. Will I work for Employ Partners or the client company?
For temporary or temp-to-hire assignments, you are an employee of Employ Partners and are assigned to work at one of our client companies. For direct hire roles, you are hired directly by the employer. Your recruiter will clearly explain the employment arrangement for each opportunity.

2. What happens after I’m placed on assignment?
Once you’re placed, our team remains available to support you throughout your assignment. We check in periodically and encourage you to reach out if you have questions or concerns. Our goal is to ensure a positive experience and help you succeed in your role.

3. How can I stand out as a candidate?
To stand out, keep your resume up-to-date, communicate regularly with your recruiter, and respond promptly to opportunities. Demonstrate reliability by showing up on time, meeting expectations, and maintaining a professional attitude on assignments. A strong work ethic and positive approach help build trust with both our team and client employers, which can lead to future opportunities.
