Employer Frequently Asked Questions

We focus exclusively on the manufacturing and logistics industry so we speak your language. You’ll receive local staffing support and quick, quality talent placement thanks to our advanced tools, effective screening process, and industry expertise.

Most importantly, we believe in the power of potential and our Redwood Tree culture guides how we treat every relationship – candidate and client – with the attention and care it deserves.

We use a variety of sources to find great candidates. This includes technology that identifies top talent within our current database, referrals from existing associates, relationships with community organizations, social media, and of course, job boards. We are constantly screening talent to ensure a quality pipeline is readily available for your specific needs.

We can provide a list of resumes and schedule video interviews within 24 hours of requesting talent. Our average time-to-fill is 3 days with 15% higher retention rates than the national average.

With your specific requirements in mind, we’d screen talent through in-person or virtual behavioral interviews that vet for reliability, skills, capabilities, motivations, and overall potential.

Besides the basic information like job title, pay rate, and location, we provide details about the job responsibilities, their supervisor (such as their management style and employee expectations), and company culture.

Optional benefits include medical, dental, vision, short/long-term disability, and 401k.

When an employee calls off, we first contact them to understand their situation. Depending on the circumstances, we may emphasize the importance of attendance during the temp-to-hire process and encourage them to come to work if possible. We assess their commitment to continuing employment and provide coaching on the significance of reliable attendance. Afterwards, we update our client on the employee’s status and the discussions held, to determine the appropriate next steps.

Call us right away! We see potential in every employee that’s sent to your company, so if they’re not performing well, we want to understand why. If it turns out that an employee isn’t a great fit for your company, we’ll send someone new.

We take safety very seriously. Our dedicated safety team has a strict injury reporting process for employers and employees to follow. This process ensures the best treatment and return-to-work plan. Ask your recruiter for specific details.

Yes! We offer onsite workforce management called the Alliance Partnership Program (APP). The program is consultative and hands-on, helping you address current staffing pains with data-backed solutions and industry staffing expertise.
