Every employer asks some version of the same questions before they commit to a staffing partner — about cost, guarantees, coverage, and what happens if something goes wrong. Here’s what we tell them.
FAQS
Selectemp is the gateway to qualified applicants who’ve already been screened, processed, and are available for work. In several cases, a staffing agency is actually faster and cheaper than hiring yourself. We do the hiring work for you — the weeding out, background checks, and drug screens. Our team also takes time to conduct a thorough and in-depth interview with every applicant, ensuring a successful placement for both the applicant and the employer.

The coaching and support our staffing managers put into every employee, before and during a placement. If our people succeed on your floor, you succeed, and that’s the only outcome that actually matters to us.
Our fees cover the employee’s pay, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, and the administrative work that comes with employing someone. You get one predictable rate instead of a pile of hidden costs.
We operate out of five Oregon branches: Eugene/Springfield, Bend, Salem, Albany/Corvallis, and Roseburg. We serve employers throughout these markets and their surrounding communities, as well as businesses across Portland and the surrounding metro area.
Yes, our two-day guarantee. If a placement isn’t the right fit within the first two days, we’ll replace them at no charge.
Our temp-to-hire agreement lets you bring someone on permanently with no additional fee once the agreement term is met. Want to hire sooner than that? Still possible — there’s just a buyout fee attached.
Selectemp is built around Oregon — that’s where we know the market best. If you need coverage outside our footprint, ask us; through the TalentLaunch network, we may be able to connect you with a partner brand in that market.
Yes. Our after-hours line is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Leave a detailed message, and the on-call team member will return your call as quickly as possible. Workforce emergencies don’t always happen during business hours, and we’re here when you need us.
Every applicant goes through an in-depth interview with an experienced staffing manager and skills testing where it matters for the role.
Yes. Whether you need one person or fifty, we can move quickly — not because of flashy software, but because we maintain real relationships with a large, ready pool of Oregon workers.
We mirror your company’s drug-testing policy for internal hires. If drug screening is required for your employees, Selectemp associates will complete the same screening before beginning an assignment with your company.
Every business is different, and sometimes the answer depends on your specific situation. Tell us what you’re working with, and we’ll give you a straight answer.
