WFS has successfully demonstrated the company philosophy through the quality of services and established client partnerships. Our primary objective is two-fold: to assist applicant in their quest for career opportunities and success; and to support clients in their search for the best qualified employees with inherent personality traits that augment their existing organization. Our Staffing Specialists are trained professionals who have expertise in recruiting for all disciplines from light industrial, accounting, administrative, assembly, medical, and management fields.
WFS maintains an extensive applicant pool. WFS utilizes various methods to recruit qualified candidates for client requirements. WFS recruits and networks with multiple external sources and receives referrals through existing employees. The Staffing Specialists and sales staff work closely with many organizations and associations that refer qualified, trained, and “job ready” individuals.
Local colleges, trade schools, and state agencies are also used as a resource, when feasible. In addition, we participate in Job Fairs, trade shows, collage career fairs, and other events in a ceaseless effort to hire the most qualified candidates. This multi-lateral recruiting effort is critical to ensuring that we are effectively recruiting a diverse and qualified workforce. Where special skills or pay levels become a factor, we recruit from appropriate sources including trade schools, internet, and related networks.
WFS is committed to equal employment opportunities for all candidates. We place candidates that are able to perform the position’s essential job functions regardless of age, race, national origin, gender, disability, and/or veteran’s status. Our selection process evaluates an applicant’s professional experiences, education, and goal in our effort to place the best applicant.
The interviewing process is conducted by a professionally trained Staffing Specialist. Upon completion, the application is reviewed in it’s entirety. The Staffing Specialist asks the candidate succinct questions that offer information pertaining to their skill levels and experiences. We attempt to determine the level of training and expertise each candidate possesses. Similarity, the interview itself is also a forum for evaluating professionalism and communication skills.
We utilize a sophisticated software program, Hirearchy, to store and maintain applicant data. Applicable candidate experience, software programs, education, and related profiles are inherent within the data base. The system performs the search process based on position requirements.
Candidates are tested, utilizing software programs (QWIZ), designed to determine unique skill levels. Additional tests are administered based on position qualification requirements. Testing scores are reviewed during the candidate evaluation process. Inherent within our interview process is the assessment of candidate profile including personality traits, professional image, and other intangible, yet critical factors. The complete candidate profile is assessed at the completion of the interview.
