What's with all this testing?

A resume doesn’t tell your whole story. Skill-testing and behavioral assessments give us a full picture of your strengths, and can increase our chance of getting you in with an employer.

Also, we believe that a good “fit” is just as important as having the right skills. The assessments help us determine whether you’re likely to have long-term success in a particular company or department.

What if I can’t take an assignment you send me on?

Why use a Staffing Firm instead of applying to companies on my own?

Dakota Staffing works with a wide variety of companies to fill all kinds of positions. Once you’re registered with us you can be considered for anything in our “job bank.”

 What if I’m only looking for a full-time, permanent position?

We fill temporary, temp-to-hire and full-time positions for our client companies. The Staffing Coordinators will learn what types of work you’ll accept and you’ll only be considered for those kinds of positions. Because we won’t always have full-time positions open in every category, it’s important that our agency be only one part of your job search.
Also, keep in mind the benefits of working short-term assignments:

  • Gives you a chance to try out various industries, positions and companies
  • You are continually challenged by working on a variety of projects and at different organizations
  • Keeps the bills paid while you job search
  • Gets your foot in the door so you may find a job sooner than if you applied to individual companies
