Just-In-Time Placement
Sometimes, you need associates placed for a temporary assignment or short-term project. We understand these needs and have a deep pool of associates who enjoy the flexibility of this temporary work and have proven themselves working with us on other projects. Project work is also a great opportunity for greener associates to explore a variety of positions to find what they like, gain valuable experience, and prove their work ethic and attendance.
Contract-To-Hire
A contract-to-hire model allows you the opportunity to evaluate if an associate’s skills and work ethic align with your company’s performance expectations and culture before you commit to a permanent hire. During an associate’s probationary period, they remain on Engauge’s payroll so we handle all the administrative burden.
Direct Hire
Particularly for competitive, higher-skilled positions, a direct hire can be the best way to attract candidates from current roles they are unsatisfied with and to demonstrate your company’s commitment to their future with you. Engauge is committed to only placing associates we believe will excel at your organization – we demonstrate this by splitting the direct hire fee into four payments over 90 days.
Rapid Mass Deployment
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide companies with a large number of
associates quickly and to seamlessly integrate them into operations. We have a proven
track record of helping companies start up new shifts or bring in 100+ seasonal
associates without the significant turnover frequently experienced from a seasonal
workforce. We recently helped a client bring in over 150 associates in less than a
month, allowing them to increase productivity by 43% while keeping turnover at 11%.
Talent Redeployment
We are dedicated to helping associates find stable employment to improve their lives
and support their families. Through decades of experience, we have developed
processes to help “career ladder” hard-working, motivated and reliable temporary and/or
seasonal associate by redeploying them into contract-to-hire roles after seasonal spikes
or in the event of mass layoffs. This “win-win” approach enables Engauge to not only
attract higher-quality talent for seasonal workforce needs, but to leverage temporary
assignments as a training ground to identify high-potential talent that can be seamlessly
transitioned to contract-to-hire positions once busy season is over.
