Temporary Staffing Request FAQ
I have a staffing need. How do I know which form to complete?
Chose the form that coincides with the job specifications of the position you are requesting: one covers administrative positions and the other covers technical positions.
I have developed a relationship with a staffing firm. Am I required to fill a form each time I have a new position request, or may I simply contact the staffing firm directly?
A form must be filled out for each new temporary or temporary-to-permanent staffing request. This will help human resources to ensure that the process remains part of the competitive marketplace.
What if the position I'm requesting calls for highly specialized skills?
Contact human resources at humanresources@brandeis.edu or 781-736-4474.
Am I required to complete a form when hiring a candidate for a temporary position without the assistance of a staffing firm?
No. In cases where you will be overseeing the hiring process, you are required to work with human resources to open a temporary staff position.
After I have completed the necessary form, what are the next steps?
For Administrative Positions
Once the form is submitted, the three university-approved staffing agencies, Beacon Hill Staffing Group, The Panther Group and Professional Staffing Group, along with the human resources recruiting team will be notified electronically. The agencies will then reach out to you via your preferred method of contact to discuss your hiring needs.
For Information Technology Positions
Once the form is submitted, the human resources recruiting team and a member of information technology services will be notified and begin working with you on your staffing needs. The approved technical staffing firms are listed on the form.
What if the firms are not sending the right candidates?
You can speak to the agencies directly, or you can reach out to the human resources recruitment team for assistance.
What if I don't have time to look at all the applicants?
You can reach out to human resources recruitment team for assistance.
Whom do I contact if I have questions about the process?
Contact human resources at humanresources@brandeis.edu or 781-736-4474.
Once I have selected a candidate, what are the next steps?
After you settle on a candidate, the staffing agency will email both human resources and the procurement and business services office. The hiring manager will then be instructed to create a requisition via MarketPlace+ for the candidate's services. All temporary staffing through these firms require a purchase order. Questions should be directed to procurement@brandeis.edu.
How do I proceed if the individual I hired is not working out?
The staffing firm and the human resources recruiting team should be made aware of any issues or concerns, and we will do our best to rectify the issue.
If I later wish to extend our temp an offer for full-time employment, how do I proceed?
Contact the human resources recruiting team at humanresources@brandeis.edu or 781-736-4474.
