Like every other staffing agency, you spend minutes filling out their on-line application yet an hour or so going through the paper process. If you already have a job but are in the process of looking for a new one, the smart thing to do is have a plan b before you leave your current employer. However, it was clear that Accurate Staffing doesn't feel that way as they seemed annoyed that I wanted to give my employer a proper two weeks notice. All staffing agencies want you to drop everything at the last possible minute and be available within a few hours notice...yes, the staff here was friendly but they definitely wasted my time.They knew I was employed when they called me and then never bothered to call me in for an interview with the company they were trying to place me with because I insisted on a 2 week notice.
They also have some questionable requirements that I've never dealt with at other temp agencies. One issue is that you are required to pay for your own drug test($25.00) if you agree to take on an assignment. This should NEVER be a requirement of an employee! The company that wants to take you on should be the ones to pocket the expense. There was also an additional $25.00 fee if you agreed to an assignment but decided the job wasn't for you. Even if you only worked one day and decided it wasn't the right fit- you would have $25.00 deducted from your paycheck.
Then after wasting over an hour doing paper work, they email you (without telling you to check it) a notice stating that within 24 hours, they want you to return to their location- for what?! I was just there! Again, this agency had some hidden fees that other places don't require you to pay so make sure you read the fine print! read more
