Questions to Ask

Typical timing, as a rule of thumb: often same day to a few days. 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?
• Who provides and pays for safety training and personal protective equipment?

Tips

• OSHA treats the agency and the host site as jointly responsible for temporary workers' safety, so agree in writing who trains on what.
• Workers' compensation rates drive industrial markups; describe the real duties so the quote holds.
• Walk the recruiter through your floor so they can describe the job honestly to candidates.
