Candidate Q&A
First Temporary does NOT charge job seekers anything for our services. Our fees are built into the markup we charge our client companies that are seeking temporary talent.
Here are three reasons why you should choose First Temporary:
- We take a personal approach to recruiting, helping you find a position that fits your career goals, whether you’re seeking a short-term position or something more permanent.
- Our recruiters have a wide network of clients seeking a variety of talent.
- We work with you to fine-tune your resume and interview skills before you meet with employers, giving you the advantage in the interview process.
Contact one of our temporary staffing consultants to explore how First Temporary can help match you to a position that will meet your short-term (and possibly long-term) career goals. You can also apply to positions directly through our career portal.
After we receive your resume a recruiter will contact you to set up a phone screen. This initial interview is to get a sense of your background and skillset beyond your resume, as well as what kind of positions you might be interested in. If we have a position that seems like a good fit, we will bring you in for a face-to-face interview to go over the job and the company in more detail and to fill out some preliminary paperwork. Then we present your resume to the client and they decide who to interview and when.
We focus on job placements in:
- Brokerage/Investment Management
- Accounting
- Legal
- Information Technology
- Corporate Finance
- Quantitative Analysis
- Administration
- Banking
Communication is the key with your Temporary Staffing Consultant. Be clear about what you are looking for and be realistic about the salary you require. It’s also important to ask questions. The consultant understands what employers look for and will be able to provide advice on your resume and interviews that will help increase your chances of getting a temporary position.
