Finding the best talent without down time is crucial to minimizing the costs of procurement. For temporary assignments, our median time-to-fill is just 27 minutes, and no matter what you’re hiring for, we try to provide resumes within 24 hours of receiving your job order. The typical employer draws candidates from three to six sources. AppleOne draws talent from 25 or more sources. One of these sources includes our 200+ recruiting centers with Hiring Advisors who are incentivized to work as a team to get you the quickest result.

Personal Interviews + Vetting

During a candidate’s initial interview we capture as much about his or her experience, goals, and attitude as possible. We go beyond the resume to invest time with the applicant, because there’s only so much a job description can say.

Assessments

Our assessments allow us to test hard skills such as proficiency with key software tools as well as behavioral traits and work styles. We require all applicants to provide their employment history with a minimum of two positive business-related references. Once verified by AppleOne, these references can identify past workplace behaviors and tendencies that help us determine ideal workplace environments for each individual. At client request we can also conduct full background and chemical screening.

Our 5•50 Guarantee Program

More than 50% of all employees who leave a new job do so in the first 12 months. If you hire on your own, this means you incur the time and expense it takes to hire each time.

A Better Way To Hire

Whether you need one person, or hundreds, AppleOne offers hiring programs and options that work for your business. Below, you’ll find our core hiring programs and step-by-step guides for how they typically work and how AppleOne interfaces with your company.

People meeting

Your Company, Your Culture

Qualifications being equal, the difference between a great hire and an adequate one is often a question of how well they fit into your company culture. Our Hiring Advisors take the time to understand the atmosphere, pace, values, and climate of the companies that we find placements for.

Man and Woman

More than Metrics

We go beyond the resume to find out as much about a candidate’s experience, goals, and character as possible. What environments do they thrive in? Where’s their career path taken them, and where do they see themselves going? Successful placements isn’t just about analyzing what‘s on paper. They’re about finding relationships that can thrive.

Expand Your Company Footprint

We know that most companies aren’t in the business of hiring. For over 50 years, we’ve worked very hard to develop the footprint, expertise, and agility to support the hiring needs of companies both big and small—finding the right talent wherever they might be. We believe that our network truly is your network.

Awareness and Exposure

When your company needs a new team member, we don’t think of it as "filling a position." Our approach is to get the word out about why your company is great. It means creating awareness and exposure around the values and culture that will attract interest in the long term. We don’t just hire for you, we market you.

How do you find, identify, and select talent (what is your process)?

Our ability to attract talent starts by recognizing that the applicant is the center of our universe, so all of our systems and processes have been optimized to attract talent and provide the best experience possible. As a result, most people come to us through referral. We find that when we are successful at helping somebody achieve their career goals they send us several more high quality professionals so that our available talent pool grows exponentially.

Our hiring advisors are active members of their communities and maintain active relationships with professionals and networking groups related to the key industries and job functions for their areas of specialization. Additionally our recruiters receive annual certifications in social recruiting to further expand our ability to find and interact with top caliber professionals. Often these professionals aren’t even looking for work, so somebody who was limited to advertising would never have access to these people. As a result of our social media expertise, AppleOne was recognized as a Top 10 Page on LinkedIn.

To further fill our talent pipeline, we conduct job fairs, utilize dozens of advertising sources, and leverage multiple other recruiting sources to ensure we have talent with the skills and attributes most needed by our customers.

When it comes to selecting talent for you, your Hiring Advisor starts by conducting a complete needs assessment including sales and production requirements, 90 day scope of work, team composition, and customer styles. This structured process helps us develop a deeper understanding of the role’s impact, and often reveals key details that do not always make it into a formal job description.

Your Hiring Advisor will come to your site and conduct what we call a Synergy Scan, which allows us to identify the key employee attributes needed to fit in long-term with both your team and your customers. This often involves profiling the most productive employees in the department to develop a keener sense of what skills and abilities result in engaged and successful employees. The Synergy Scan helps us frame the job opening into an appealing opportunity to attract solid candidates.

We’ve invested in the best tools and processes to provide the highest standards in talent benchmarking. We are ISO 9001:2015 and IMAGE certified to ensure a thorough and consistent evaluation process which includes extensive interviews with each applicant using behavioral-evaluation techniques. Our branch staff takes the extra time to learn an individual’s aspirations, talents, skill level, past experiences, preferred work environment, and more, allowing the applicant to be placed in a position best-suited for him/her. Our skill assessments allow us to test hard skills such as proficiency with key software tools as well as behavioral skills. We require all applicants to provide their employment history with a minimum of two positive business-related references. Once verified by AppleOne, these references can identify past workplace behaviors and tendencies that help us determine ideal workplace environments for each individual. At client request we can also conduct full background and chemical screening.

How will I be charged?

AppleOne has only charged clients after we have provided a result. This means you won’t receive a bill from us unless the Talent we provided is on the job with your company or on assignment.

Are you ACA compliant?

Yes, we are.

We have always made it our goal to consistently offer our customers the best talent, at the fastest pace and at the most competitive price. As many of our customers have expected, ACA creates incremental health insurance costs, a new benefits administration infrastructure, technology for automation and monitoring, engagement of experts, employee communications, and employer reporting requirements.

Our clients have been reassured that our dedication to risk mitigation and providing solution based services will consistently be reflected in our compliance toward the Affordable Care Act and all other federal and state hiring mandates. At a time with increased human resources administration challenges, they expect that we will bring even more added value to the outsourcing of their hiring process.

We remain committed to delivering the same quality of excellent service our customers have come to associate with us. United with our clients, we will continue to play a key role in growing domestic employment and economic growth up and promoting healthy employer and employee relations.

What we are doing to comply with the ACA employer mandate.

We will comply with the letter and intent of the law by offering affordable coverage for those individuals who meet eligibility criteria.

We have a long history of being able to attract and retain top employees. We will continue to offer a competitive benefits package to ensure we uphold our reputation of employing top employees. As an employer, we are responsible for making available ACA compliant coverage to our employees.

In general, the ACA will make it easier for non-traditional employees to secure health insurance coverage through an employer, or the Healthcare Exchanges. This should result in a greater supply of temporary employees.

We are committed to the legal and ethical management of our work forces pursuant to its provisions.

To fully comply with ACA requirements, we have:
  • Implemented automated technology systems to assess eligibility. This avoids diluting the recruiters’ time spent supporting the hiring needs of our customers and the placement needs of our candidates
  • Implemented an automated employee notification system with multiple points of contact for quicker employee service
  • Provided access to an enrollment platform for all eligible employees
  • Established Compliance Auditing
  • Developed multiple benefit plans available to provide employees with choices
  • Created a comprehensive benefit administration process via our internal Enrollment Department, and in-house licensed subject matter experts
  • Devised a technological configuration and build-out to accommodate:
    • Hours capture
    • Eligibility thresholds
    • ACA specific capabilities
    • Future evolutions of ACA mandates
What kinds of certifications do you have?
