Frequently Asked Questions

• What kind of jobs do you offer?

  KeyStaff places people primarily in administrative/clerical and assembly/warehouse on a temporary or temp-to-perm basis, and focuses on all fields for direct hire positions. We specialize in finding qualified candidates for our clients.

• How much do your positions pay?

  Most temporary warehouse positions start between $8 and $12/hr. Most administrative positions pay between $10-$15/hr. Direct Hire positions vary widely based on the standard market value for the position. A starting pay rate will most assuredly be based on your background and experience and the salary that the client company is willing to pay.

• What is the average time span a temp job will last?

  Temporary jobs can range from several hours to a permanent career. The length of the assignment should be discussed before you accept the assignment. If you commit to an assignment for a designated period of time, make sure to honor that commitment or give at least a one week notice if you need to resign.

• Is there potential to go permanent?

  Yes! Most companies these days are hiring through a staffing company so that they can find the talent and try employees before adding the new additions to the permanent payroll. More often then not, a temporary job can lead to something long-term or permanent.

• What qualifications do you have to meet to work with KeyStaff?

  KeyStaff requires its employees to meet certain guidelines. Employees must have a working telephone and place to leave messages. Employees must be able to pass a background check and drug screen. And, employees must have the legal documentation to be eligible for work in the United States. Specific qualifications based on the job will apply as well.
