New to staffing agencies?
You are not alone.
Many businesses and job seekers are not sure how staffing works, what to expect, or why they should use a staffing agency in the first place. At American Workforce Group, we make the staffing agency experience clear, simple, and personal.
Our mission is to positively impact people and our community by placing motivated, qualified individuals at great places to work.
Whether you are hiring for your business or looking for your next opportunity, AWG is here to help.
How a Staffing Agency Works
A staffing agency connects employers with qualified workers.
For businesses, this means support finding people for open roles without carrying the full burden of recruiting, screening, and coordinating each step alone.
For candidates, this means access to job opportunities, help through the hiring process, and support from a team that wants to help you succeed.
At AWG, we work with both sides. We learn what employers need. We learn what candidates bring. Then we help create the right match.
Why Businesses Use a Staffing Agency
Hiring takes time, focus, and follow-through. A staffing agency helps reduce pressure and improve speed.
Businesses often work with AWG for:
- Faster hiring support
- Access to screened candidates
- Help filling temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire roles
- Time to evaluate skills and fit before making a long-term decision
- A staffing partner with local market knowledge
A strong staffing agency does more than send resumes. It helps move hiring forward with less friction and more confidence.
Why Candidates Use a Staffing Agency
Searching for work can feel frustrating, especially when applications go unanswered or the process feels unclear.
Working with AWG gives candidates:
- Access to open jobs
- Support through the application and onboarding process
- Opportunities for temporary, temp-to-hire, and long-term work
- A local team that wants to help you succeed
- Connection to employers who are hiring now
At AWG, we take time to understand your goals, your experience, and the kind of work you want.
The AWG Commitment
At American Workforce Group, our work is guided by a clear mission and a clear standard.
Our mission is to positively impact people and our community by placing motivated, qualified individuals at great places to work.
Our core values shape how we serve both clients and candidates:
- Accountability
- Tenacity
- Integrity
- Communication
These are not words we place on a wall. They guide how we recruit, communicate, follow through, and support every assignment.
The AWG Employee Experience
For candidates, the process is structured to create better outcomes. It starts with a phone interview to review employment status and work history. If the minimum qualifications are met, the next step is a Finalize Hire meeting with AWG’s recruitment team. This step helps confirm punctuality, presentation, and alignment with AWG’s core values. It also includes onboarding documents, testing, and I-9 verification.
After hire into the AWG availability pool, reference checks are completed. When candidate expectations and client needs align, contingent offers are made. Some roles also include client interviews.
If accepted, drug screens or background checks are completed when required. Employees also review an assignment checklist so expectations are clear before day one.
Once the assignment begins, AWG stays involved. We make first-day safety calls, confirm proper safety training and PPE, provide weekly pay, and continue follow-up throughout the assignment.
The AWG Client Experience
For businesses, the process is designed to create clarity from the start.
It begins with an AWG Staffing Agreement, followed by a job order and site safety review. From there, AWG’s recruitment team works to match the needs of the client with the right employee. This includes presenting candidates, coordinating interviews when needed, and helping both sides move through the decision process. Once the assignment begins, AWG makes first-day placement calls to confirm the employee arrived and meets expectations. We continue with weekly billing for hours worked and ongoing quality control calls to support performance, communication, and results.
Staffing Options Through AWG
Temp and Temp-to-Hire
This option works well for companies hiring general labor, skilled labor, and administrative positions. The employee works through AWG for a set number of contracted hours. After those hours are complete, the employee rolls over to the client at no additional charge. This gives the company time to train, evaluate skills, and assess fit over an approximate three-month period.
Direct Hire
This option works well for executive-level roles or companies operating under strict union contracts. Direct hire fees are paid up front, and the employee is hired directly onto the company team.
