Hire Standard Staffing — a woman-owned small business — serves a national client base from our headquarters over the Metro Red Line just outside Washington, DC. We offer creative options and alternatives to obtain the quality work results you need — mindful of the budget constraints you are under. You need to relieve staffing pressures and accomplish your corporate mission. We're here to help you with effective Workforce Solutions for Today's Economy.

Our mission is to be your best resource for staffing assistance by providing "hire" quality people for consistently excellent, reliable results.

• YOUR projects are important, relevant and need to be managed and serviced whether the economy is growing or not. Our task is to help you manage your staffing budget -- especially when grant money is tight. That’s why we’re always recruiting --- everything from PhD level researchers to administrative staff and accountants for your office operations or fundraisers to keep the money flowing.

• Even in an economic downturn, there’s always a shortage of really top prospects: people who not only have the education, but also possess good communication skills, a professional appearance and an understanding that the workplace is different from academia. We have the know-how to separate the productive ones from the ones who merely promise productivity.

• Beyond degrees, we look for a work history that shows stability, a work ethic that shows tenacity and social skills that indicate ability to interact with others without sacrificing their independent thinking and problem solving skills.

• Some hiring managers depend on their "Network" to pass around cast-off résumés. We're professional recruiters — skilled at matching exactly the right attributes you need to solve your problem. We determine what type of individual best suits your particular work environment. We assess the candidate’s competencies and intangibles to provide a match for your total criteria.

• Some projects don't get started because you're reluctant to put an individual on your payroll when grant money is limited. We can provide help on a Temporary basis to do the research, write the reports, edit them... or even do the fundraising necessary to find the money you need to continue your work.

• And sometimes you're into a project with the deadline in sight and your staffer leaves for a great opportunity or a family emergency or an unexpected whatever. Does your project screech to a halt? Or do you have a Plan B ready? We can help keep everything on schedule and on budget.

CPC (Certified Personnel Consultant) certified. A CPC is equivalent to a CPA for accountants — and is only awarded after passing a rigorous battery of tests relating to laws and processes for Interviewing, Hiring and Human Capital Management.

We ask you to critically examine your needs. We don't just fill orders like a parts department does. Just look at our job request on our website.

We insist on actual performance-based references. Typical headhunters accept employment verifications on their candidates. And many accept educational statements at face value. Most employers are stopped by HR department or bureaucratic stonewalls. We don't stop until we get the facts. People typically don’t list their accomplishments on their resumes, just their job duties. But it’s their achievements that can set them apart. Of course, to assure accuracy, we also make sure any accomplishments listed can be verified. And, of course, if our clients require — or request — background or criminal checks or drug testing, those services are available.

Through ROI Services Group, we also provide predictive Foreground Checks©.

As your representative, we educate the best qualified candidate about what makes your organization a good fit for them. For us, a hire that meets the needs of both employee and employer creates a win/win situation and confirms that any fees represent a good value for the client.

As a professional staffing organization, we are uniquely set up to help you manage your hiring budget by offering you HIRING OPTIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL STAFF: TEMP, TEMP-TO-HIRE OR "GUARANTEED" DIRECT HIRES.

What is the Hire Standard difference?

Hire Standard Staffing only represents top candidates who trust our advice and placement recommendations. And we only accept clients who understand that we are not dealing in commodities. A Hire Standard candidate truly is different. And better.

When your company engages our services, we are prepared to assist in every step of your hiring goals. Direct Hire or Temporary — our goal is to make sure every placement — whether for a day or a career — is a "Hire Standard" hire. Since 1989, Hire Standard has set the standard for excellence throughout the full candidate-hire-cycle. We truly understand that there is no one-size-fits-all method for staffing success.
