This will include a skills assessment, potential drug screen/background check and a thorough interview where we will discuss your capabilities, your career objectives and your ideal work environment—details that will help us place you in the right position.

Depending on client needs, you may be placed on assignment right away or you might be waiting a while longer. However, once we do find an assignment for you, we will make sure you are properly prepared by providing you with contact information, directions, an overview of the assignment and your responsibilities and the appropriate orientation and training.

In the case of direct hire, we will also arrange client interviews as well negotiate salary and benefits on your behalf.

As a temporary associate, am I required to accept every assignment?
No. One of the benefits of being a temporary associate is the flexibility to choose which assignments to accept.

How often can I work?
We make every effort to keep our employees as busy as they'd like to be, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a certain amount of hours. Placement is always dependent on whether your skills, experience and aptitude are a good fit for the client and, of course, if you are available and willing to work.

What do I do when the assignment ends?
When your current assignment is complete, contact Alabama Temporary to  update your availability status. While waiting for your next opportunity, be sure to update your account profile to include any new skills you have learned while on assignment. Always call our office at least once a week.
