Whether you're looking for a short term fix, or a long term career option, working with a quality temporary staffing agency makes a difference. AccuStaff works extremely hard to understand your hiring path. In order to successfully place you in a temp or direct hire role, we need to understand you, the job seeker. This includes interviewing you for your experience, skills and strengths, but also to understand your areas for improvement or gaps. It's the best way we know to put you in a successful situation.

Welcome to AccuStaff

AccuStaff is an employment agency helping businesses in the Capital District markets with their hiring needs.

Whether your business is located in the Albany, Johnstown or Saratoga Springs, NY area, our long-term goal is helping you find the answer to your hiring needs. Every business has unique jobs they try to fill. We help identify, screen, and interview candidates for those temporary or temp to hire positions. In the process, we revise, revisit and customize our approach to your ever changing situations. We also keep the focus on giving you the best customer service possible. As the leading temp agency in the Capital Region, we're excited to put our experience to work for you.

What type of jobs do we hire for?

Temporary

We define temporary work as having a start and end date. The dates may not be exact, but these are defined time frame.

Temp jobs are typically designed to cover a specific purpose for our clients. Examples could be to cover a leave of absence, a peak in business, vacation coverage, seasonal jobs, or a special project. Every client handles it differently. Temporary work can also be indefinite in length. This doesn’t mean these positions can’t result in something long term, but the intent is that the assignment has a shelf life. This might be good for you if you’re not sure what you want to do, or just need something for a period of time. With temporary work, you’re working on an assignment as an AccuStaff talent.

Temp-to-Hire

Temp-to-Hire is similar to temporary jobs, but with the intended option that our client is looking for someone long term to fill their specific need. Temp-to-hire is never a guarantee, you have to earn the role. There are a lot of other factors related to their business needs, and your job search that come into play. All things being equal, some candidates think of a temp to hire role as a “foot in the door” or “probation” period where they can try a business out before making a long term commitment. We liken it to a long term job opportunity. See what you can make of that chance to flourish!

Direct Hire

These are positions where our client wants to have you on their payroll at the point of hire. It means that you are not an AccuStaff employee; you would become our client’s employee on day one of that long term job (full time or part time). Different businesses elect this option based on the needs and goals of their organizational. Many times these are what people might call “Mission Critical” type of roles. The process is similar in that there is still a formal vetting and interview process, but the end result is a little different. Direct Hire roles may also be called Permanent Placement or Perm roles.

4 Ways to Improve Your Staffing Partnership

If you haven’t worked in staffing, it’s hard to put your finger on all the things a recruiting or temp agency does. I’ve been at it for a dozen years and it still amazes me the things that come up.

There’s no doubt that hiring in a low unemployment rate economy is tough. Finding talented workers who want to work, and work for your organization, is tough. Add to that complexity that the employee you want is the same employee everyone else wants and the difficulty increases exponentially.
