Employer questions
What does it cost to use a staffing agency in Memphis?
Staffing is billed as an hourly rate that covers the associate's pay plus a markup for payroll taxes, workers compensation, unemployment insurance, and our service. You pay only for hours worked. We quote the rate before you commit, in writing, with no hidden administrative fees.
Who is the employer of record?
Advance Staffing is. We handle payroll, payroll taxes, workers compensation coverage, and unemployment for every associate on assignment. That liability sits with us, not with you.
How does temp to hire work?
The associate works on our payroll for an agreed number of hours while you evaluate the fit on your floor. When you decide to bring them on permanently, they convert to your payroll with no conversion fee after the agreed hours are met.
Can you cover second and third shift?
Yes. We recruit specifically for off-shift coverage, which is where most Memphis distribution operations struggle hardest.
Do you count toward supplier diversity spend?
Yes. Advance Staffing Inc. is a certified Minority Business Enterprise through NMSDC and the Tri-State Minority Supplier Development Council, certificate TN04665, and the company is veteran-led.
