PRS was created out of the desire to offer stellar recruiting services and excellent customer service to our clients in the industry. We pride ourselves on being flexible and providing a customized approach to each client whether it’s hiring one individual or staffing an entire plant.
PRS provides the following services: Contract, Contract-to-hire, Direct Hire Permanent and Payroll Services.
Contract:
A contract position is a solution in which we will hire a temporary employee to help with a specific project or augment the current staff for our client. A contract position can be as short or long as the project requirements dictate.
Contract-to-hire:
A contract-to-hire position varies from a contract position in that both the candidate and the client have the opportunity to decide if they would like to engage in full time employment after the contract period is over.
Direct Hire:
Direct Hire positions are classified as a “permanent” opportunity with our client. At PRS, we make the connection between the client and the candidate.
Payroll Services:
If you already know the candidate and would like to bring them on without incurring the load and burden of a direct hire employee, PRS offers payroll services.
Pay for What You Use:
For direct hire placements, we are a contingent based recruiting firm and you will not pay a fee until the candidate has started working for your company. For contractors, you will only pay for the hours a consultant works and not for non-productive downtime such as sick days, holidays or vacations.
Top Talent:
PRS is dedicated to a special brand of recruiting that provides the best results to our clients by knowing where to look. When we source for candidates we are dedicated to going above and beyond your usual recruiting firm process of just searching and posting on job boards. We take it much further by using other methods of sourcing candidates like “headhunting”, searching our in-depth internal database, networking with plant personnel for referrals, social network sourcing and hot book candidates.
Guidance and Advice:
We pride ourselves as being experts in the industry who understand the ins and outs of the recruiting, interviewing, and the hiring process. Our recruiters stay on top of current trends and developments within the industry, allowing us to provide insight regarding candidates, the job market, and just about anything else relevant to your search.
Hiring Manager’s Focus:
The hiring manager’s responsibility is to manage and grow your plant(s) and business. Anything that distracts your attention from that will cause a negative effect on growth. PRS will alleviate this burden so that you can focus 100% of your time on growing and managing your plant(s).
Time-to-Market:
In the fast paced work environment of the 21st century, speed to market is one of the most important factors in maintaining a competitive advantage and reducing additional costs. Our recruiters are eager and motivated to fill these positions, have unlimited resources and will go above and beyond to satisfy the client.
Reduction of Cost with Contractors:
Each time you add to your staff you are incurring an increase of direct and in-direct costs by 30-40 percent. When augmenting your team with PRS talent, this enables you to increase your staff without the additional costs.
Our job is to act as a professional matchmaker on behalf of both our clients and candidates. We work to find out what both sides are looking for and do our best to make a long term match.
Your experience with PRS will start with an initial phone call (prescreen) to discuss the basics of your job search. We will ask questions about your work experience, motivations, desires, location preferences and compensation. At this point we will determine if we feel we are the right firm to help with your search. If we are, we’ll set up an in person meeting where we will spend about 30 minutes, in our Maitland office, going through your resume in more detail, getting to know you and discussing current and future opportunities. This is the most crucial part of our recruiting process. This meeting allows us to truly get to know you and determine how our clients will fit your needs.
We receive new opportunities from our clients each week. Once we’ve identified a position that we feel fits what you’re looking for we will reach out to discuss the details. We will share all the details about the opportunity with you (the job description, org chart, our notes from speaking with the client and benefits). If together we determine it makes sense to pursue this opportunity, we will present your information to the hiring person for the position. We will then have a meeting with the hiring manager on your behalf. During this meeting we will make the hiring manager aware of your goals, background, experiences and strengths. We will also share your resume and our notes from our in person meeting.
On both sides, client and candidate, we are focused on being as transparent as possible. Providing as much detail as possible in the beginning is the most efficient way of successfully matching the “right” people with the “right” companies.
If the client agrees with our recommendation, we will set up an initial interview. We will do our best to prepare you for the interview by making sure you know who you’ll be meeting with, how to get there and what to expect during the interview. We will also provide you with an interview prep guide to help you prepare for the meeting.
After the interview we will provide you with feedback on how the client felt the interview went. We will also provide the client with notes on how you felt it went as well. If both parties agree we will work toward negotiating an offer.
Recruiting Process
Our recruiting process is an in-depth and creative process to provide the highest level of efficiency to our client. First, we start by acquiring the job order and speaking directly with the hiring manager to discuss the key details of the position. Next, the account manager will have a meeting with the recruiters to discuss the position and compose any additional questions to discuss with the hiring manager. In the meantime, our recruiters will begin to source for candidates using various methods.
Once a candidate has been identified, he/she will be prescreened by the recruiter. After this conversation, we would move to the final step which includes a second conversation directly with the account manager along with conducting professional references. We don’t like to bombard our clients with a large amount of candidates. We prefer to send between three and five of our top candidates for review.
Interviewing Process
From there, the hiring manager will select the individuals that they would like to begin the interviewing process with. We will coordinate with both parties to set up any interviews. When travel is necessary, PRS is able to set up travel arrangements as a pass through cost with no additional charge to the client.
Offer Stage
Once our client has made a decision, we work with both parties to ensure a smooth transition to the onboarding process. We will speak with both the hiring party and the candidate about the offer and help with any negotiations that are necessary.
Onboarding Process
When the offer is signed and delivered, we are then capable of completing a background check, drug screening, etc. We generally get the results from these tests within 2-3 business days and can begin the onboarding process. Once the candidate has started working we will make weekly phone calls to the employee and the client to make sure both parties are satisfied.
I would like to recommend the services of Jonathan Gatlin, and PRS, for recruiting services. I worked with Jonathan as a job seeking candidate recently and had a wonderful experience. Jonathan helped place me as a Structural Engineer, and truly helped match my career goals and expectations to the position available.
Jonathan has been professional and was a wonderful resource during the multi-interview process. He has also been thorough with following up on my needs, without being overbearing and pushy at any time during our time working together, which I have found other recruiters can be.
I would recommend Jonathan and the PRS team as a resource to those looking to expertly match job seeking candidates to positions that they would best fill.
