Questions to Ask

Typical timing, as a rule of thumb: often days for common roles. Ask:

• What is the bill rate, and how much of it reaches the worker as pay?
• Who handles payroll, payroll taxes, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance?
• What is the conversion fee if we hire the worker directly, and when does it drop to zero?
• What is the replacement guarantee if someone does not work out?
• Which job types do you fill most often in this area?

Tips

• Tell the agency the pay rate you are willing to fund, not just the bill rate; good workers follow pay.
• A written job description with shift, duties and dress code cuts no-shows.
• Ask two agencies for the same role and compare the markup, not only the hourly price.
