contact helen@hirestandard.com		 Hire Standard Staffing assesses all job applicants to find those who have attitudes and skills associated with outstanding work performance.

Our skills testing software, Pre•Valuate, is the best on the market. (How do we know? During our evaluation process, our President — at that time a complete computer novice — took the tests herself. She scored 80% competancy on the leading industry skills testing software — without any experience!!! Needless to say, Pre•Valuate software DID NOT pass her with flying colors — which met our higher standards for evaluation testing.)

But skills testing is only part of the story. Our staffing professionals have background and experience in a variety of other business environments. Our accounting team, for example, is headed up by someone whose background and training is in accounting.

To make the best matches, we also look for the intangibles. More importantly, our experience helps us know what those intangibles are.

It makes our task harder. But it also makes our candidates a better fit.

How We Can Help You, Working With Hire Standard

Last update 5/7/03

We're here to help you hire.

You establish the tangibles you require before we even start our search. Then we match the tangibles before we even call you. So all you need to concern yourself about is FEELING GOOD ABOUT THE INTANGIBLES.

After we verbally present a candidate who meets or exceeds your stated requirements and you schedule an interview, we'll be happy to send you confirming paperwork. You'll get test scores, resumés, references -- everything you need to finalize a hire confidently.

We don't send paper. We send people.

We don't get paid if we don't send you the right match. That's the best motivation in the world for us to work effectively, efficiently and smart. In this tight candidate market, many of the best candidates are snatched up while paper gets shuffled. Our most successful clients have learned to trust us to cut through the busy-work and get the best people in front of them so they can make a quick decision. Those who get "entrapped in process" are often disappointed that the best candidates aren't waiting around for them to make a decision. Seldom has the phrase "you snooze, you lose" been truer.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Hire Standard Staffing has many satisfied clients in the Washington DC market. Hire Standard Staffing's corporate headquarters is in Washington,DC, where "driven" is a state of mind and exceptional requirements and skills are the standard. In the DC market, our success has been fueled by the fact that our candidates are screened to a "Hire Standard." When we opened in 1989 in Washington, DC as a local, woman-owned business, activities were limited to PERMANENT placement of support staff. The lines between Permanent and Temporary functions were clear. And our focus was narrow. Then the job market changed. Our permanent clients asked us to staff their temporary needs with employees from our pool of full time job applicants -- which means that we always have applied a hire standard to every job situation from career professional to short term temp. Today, that standard defines every candidate we represent.

In addition, we look for high levels of integrity, as well as excellent customer service, interpersonal skills and/or exceptional sales skills in every employee we represent. The validity and accuracy of these selection and assessment tests have been well documented by independent industrial/organizational psychologists. All of the surveys we use are valid and non-discriminatory and adhere to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures as adopted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the American Psychological Association's Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, as well as guidelines developed by the Association of Test Publishers. When appropriate, we use the Reid Report as one of our primary tools for finding out if people are as dedicated and ethical as they say they are. Reid Psychological Systems¬ has been a leader in the field of employment testing programs for more than half a century.

CREDIT CARD BILLING FOR CONVENIENCE
Many of our clients prefer to use their corporate AMEX, VISA or MASTERCARD accounts to streamline the billing process. All credit card invoices still carry appropriate hard copy documentation (timesheets, etc.) to facilitate record keeping.
