Carlton Staffing

We thoroughly qualify every worker we send to you

At Carlton Staffing, we know that we are only as good as our employees. That is why we recruit and hire only the best candidates in Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth.

Companies rely on Carlton Staffing to make sure every person we send has the skills to do the job described, the personality to fit their organization, and the kind of character that is reflected in its current employees. So how does Carlton ensure that our employees are the right employees? Through a proven combination of screening, testing and evaluation processes.

Thorough Screening
Our expert staffing consultants are skilled interviewers and are trained to identify qualified prospects. Nonetheless, research shows that even the most thorough interview is only about 20 percent accurate in ascertaining an applicant’s true capabilities.

Reference checks are vital in determining an applicant’s true character and capabilities, so our staff conducts reference checks on a minimum of two previous employers.

However, this still only adds another 10 percent to the applicant’s reliability factor. Therefore, Carlton Staffing conducts routine, county and state criminal background checks on each applicant. These background checks determine if there is anything in an applicant’s background that would make him or her an unsuitable risk for employment.

Testing
Even with a thorough screening process there is still a more than 50 percent chance that a candidate's skills won't be up to expectation. That's why we test. Every candidate has to take a basic clerical test that includes math, proofreading, and filing. This establishes that he or she has acceptable reading and reasoning skills. At this point, depending on the position, further written and hands-on performance tests are administered. With thorough testing, we know that each worker we send to you can do the job. The only concern left is whether the worker will fit into your organization. That's where our staffing consultant’s experience and training really come into play.

Evaluation and Pairing
A Carlton representative will also schedule a visit to your company to learn more about your organization’s personality and culture. With this knowledge, a Staffing Consultants is able to thoroughly evaluate candidates for an assignment, and send the person who is best compatible with the employee and office environment.
