Hiring Options

Staffing needs can be handled in several ways. While every situation is unique, our clients usually rely on one of these options:

Direct Hire Placements – Finding qualified candidates can be overwhelming. Certified presents only those candidates who truly meet your job requirements. This is not a “wide net” approach — it’s precise recruiting. You’ll receive only the number of screened, verified candidates you request. Certified maintains a retention rate of over 90% for Direct Hire Placements.

Temp-to-Hire Placements – In this model, a contract employee starts with the understanding that the position will become direct hire after a probationary period. This arrangement allows both parties to confirm that the placement is a good fit.

Temporary Placements – You can fill any position with a contingent employee. This option is perfect if you need to hire quickly, want flexibility in terms or duration, or wish to reduce employment liability.

Payroll Service – When you find a candidate yourself — such as a returning employee or a short-term specialist — placing them on Certified’s payroll is your best option. We handle all legal and insurance requirements so your worker can start immediately. Once the project ends, there’s no lingering employment liability.
