How does a staffing agency work for Michigan employers?

How a staffing agency does the work: it sources and pre-screens employees, places them on the agency's payroll and sends them to your location to work the hours you require. Then you pay the agency an hourly bill rate. Here at RHO Hiring in Southfield, that process breaks down into four phases: your request, the match, onboarding and the first day, and finally management. Give us a call at (248) 843-0000.

Stage 1: the request

Every order begins with inputs from your facility: the work, the shifts and site, and the headcount.

  1. 01

    You tell us what you need

    Phone (248) 843-0000, fill out the request form or schedule an appointment to visit our office. Just describe the positions, number of employees, shift timings, starting date and location address. "I need three forklift operators to work second shift beginning Monday." That will get you off to a great start.

  2. 02

    A manager gets back to you

    Most often within a couple of hours. They will ask questions that will define how you want the job done: rate of work, equipment used, physicality, PPE and any job site rules.

  3. 03

    You get a quote

    Requesting a quote is fast. The quote displays the rate for each position and shift including how hours will be billed, so you know the price before work begins. The rate includes wages, payroll taxes, workers' compensation and our service fee, and our how we price staffing page breaks down each category.

  4. 04

    You confirm the order

    Once you approve it, we start matching workers to it.

The four stages, at a glance

One call. Workers who are matched to your specific floor. A team that stays on the account.

See the full process
  1. Tell us what you need

    Call 248-843-0000, or send the request form: the roles, how many people, the shifts and the start date.

  2. We learn your floor

    We learn your workflow, shifts, volume and site rules, allowing us to match workers to the work, rather than just a job title.

  3. Matched and prepared

    Employees are vetted for reliability, trained in safety and briefed on your site's expectations before arriving on-site.

  4. Managed on the job

    We keep a team on the account. We follow up with your supervisors and swap or add people quickly.

Stage 2: how are workers matched to your floor?

We find out about your facility's workflow, shifts and volume, then we match workers to these.

  1. 01

    We look at the work

    A picking job, a press line and a cannabis trim room all require different personnel. Task flow, speed and equipment are where we start.

  2. 02

    We match workers to it

    Employees are screened for reliability and attention to detail before hiring. We strive to pair employees based on experience, on what shift they can reliably work and how far they live from your site.

  3. 03

    Workers confirm

    Every worker confirms their start date, shift and site before we let you know who will be coming.

  4. 04

    You know who is coming

    Prior to shift one you know your workers' names, jobs and starting times.

Stage 3: what happens at onboarding and on the first day?

We prepare workers for your site's expectations before they arrive.

  1. 01

    Safety orientation

    RHO teaches every employee about safety before they start: how to report hazards and injuries, proper use of personal protective equipment, and never operating equipment they are not trained and approved to use.

  2. 02

    Site details

    Workers learn where to park, which door to enter, whom to ask for, what to wear and bring, and when to show up.

  3. 03

    Your site training

    On day one, your team reviews what is unique to your site: the work area, machinery, chemicals, emergency exits and your policies. OSHA expects the host employer to provide training to workers about the hazards at the job site.

  4. 04

    A first-day check-in

    Your RHO manager checks in with your supervisor and employees on day one so issues can be addressed before they become problems.

Stage 4: how RHO Hiring manages workers on your floor

After you have workers on your floor, you have dedicated management on that account.

  • Call-offs and attendance

    We work to cover the shift if a worker calls off. You will be informed of how we handle the situation.

  • Feedback on workers

    Report to your manager who is performing and who isn't. Solid employees can be requested back, and a bad fit is dealt with quickly.

  • Headcount changes

    Want more staff during a peak week, or fewer when you scale back volume? Inform your manager and we'll make the change.

  • Temp-to-hire

    When a worker lands a permanent position on a temp-to-hire order, we discuss transitioning them onto your payroll based on your agreement terms.

  • Workforce analytics

    With attendance and headcount reporting on managed accounts, you can staff based on numbers, not guesses.
