For employers

Questions from employers

How much does it cost to use a staffing agency?
You pay an hourly bill rate for each worker, which covers their wages plus the employer costs we carry as employer of record, payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and administration. The exact rate depends on the role, skill level, and volume. Call your local office and we will build a quote for your specific need.
What is the difference between temp, temp-to-hire, and direct hire?
Temporary staff cover short-term or seasonal needs and stay on our payroll. Temp-to-hire lets you evaluate a worker on assignment and hire them on when it is a good fit. Direct hire means we recruit and screen a candidate you hire directly from day one.
What if a worker isn't the right fit?
We stand behind our placements with a free-replacement guarantee. If a new associate is not the right fit, we will work with you on a replacement at no additional charge, based on the terms of your staffing agreement. Ask your recruiter for details.
Who is the employer of record? Do you handle payroll and workers' comp?
For temporary and temp-to-hire associates, 1st Choice Personnel serves as the employer of record and handles payroll, applicable tax withholding, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation coverage.
How fast can you fill a position?
Often within a few days. We keep a pool of pre-screened, ready-to-work candidates across our East Texas and Shreveport offices, so we can respond quickly to urgent and high-volume needs.
What types of roles and industries do you staff?
Warehouse and distribution, manufacturing and production, light industrial and general labor, skilled trades and maintenance, clerical and administrative, customer service and call center, and professional and managerial roles.
Do you screen and background-check candidates?
Yes. We provide pre-employment screening including county and state criminal records and address history, plus skill testing and drug and alcohol testing on request.

Shreveport, Louisiana and East Texas, with offices in Marshall, Longview, Nacogdoches, and Jacksonville, Texas.
