3. What is a Working Interview?
Clark Personnel Services has three divisions: temporary, temporary to permanent, and direct hire. By combining services we are able to offer a creative hybrid solution to your staffing needs.

4. How do you convert to permanent or what if the employee does not fit?
If you make the choice to convert the employee, you simply take the employee onto your payroll after they have successfully completed 520 hours through Clark Personnel Services. If you would like the employee prior to that, you may pay an agreed upon buyout fee.

If the employee is not the right fit, Clark Personnel Service will reassign them and send you another qualified candidate.

5. What are the advantages of the Working Interview?
Positions are filled faster: With a Working Interview, the preliminary interviewing process can be greatly shortened, or even eliminated. The candidate shows up and goes to work. Performance on the job is the hiring criteria.

The cost of the hire is amortized. All the usual up-front costs (advertising, interviewing and downtime in the position) are eliminated.

Mistakes are easily fixed. If a candidate is not working out, we will immediately replace that candidate.

You enjoy non-employer status. During the tryout period, we are the employer. We take care of all payroll taxes, unemployment compensation, W-2's, I-9's, information returns, etc. We provide full insurance coverage including: workers' compensation, general liability, excess liability, and errors and omissions.

You have no commitment. You are not committed to hiring a particular temporary or anyone at all.

You have maximum flexibility. The Working Interview is perfect for a company in a state of organizational change or uncertainty.

7. What is the process for using your service?
We first need a clear understanding of your needs. A Q&A session with the hiring or HR manager and a job description helps us get the details that we need to find the most qualified people. Then our recruitment effort can begin. A site visit by our Risk Manager and Staffing Coordinators helps get a solid understanding of the work to be performed and work environment. Then all we need is an approved credit application to send out the employee.
