Our office, by 5:45 am will have 20 employees already in our office waiting to get their time card and head off to the job. From this point forward we are in the middle of a chaotic morning that would make most people's head spin. Between the time of 5:30 am and 8:30 am we are sending anywhere from 70-100 employees out for the day. On top of time cards running constantly through the printer and checking people in for their job we are constantly answering calls from our clients looking for more workers.

At any given time in the morning we will have 23 different jobs to fill with varying positions and employee count for each one. These positions and jobs range from: final cleaning on a new office building, shoveling, filling customer orders in their warehouse or general construction help. These companies are turning to us to help them fill these positions or help them out of a bind. This is the part of the morning we all love. It's go time, time to fit all the puzzle pieces into place making sure all our employees get to their assigned work place and are an asset to the company.

If you where to walk in our office during these 3 hours in the morning you would probably think "how could you possibly get all these people out to a job, checked in and still have time to answer client phone calls,employee questions all while smiling and joking with each other" -well that's what makes this company special. We make it happen, every day.

Between 9 and Noon the office has slowed down for us to look at each other and laugh about something that happened that morning as we refill our coffee mugs. At this point we get caught up on all the payroll from the day before and file away the work tickets that have been filled from the day before. The air is never clear however, as clients are always calling in last second fill ins and to line up jobs for the next day.

The afternoon isn't as hectic as the morning but we still have a number of afternoon jobs to fill. But, we have found that not all afternoons are the same. We have had some afternoons as busy as the morning and some afternoons that we have every job filled to the point all we need to do is print work tickets and hand them out.

Walking in our office between Noon and 3 is what we would consider the calm before the evening storm. During this time we are emailing companies employment verification forms, making phone calls and interviewing candidates for possible long term employment. We also take this time to fill the repeat jobs for the next day. We have a number of assignments that are days or weeks long. If we are able to get all the employees confirmed for the next day we write them down so there is no confusion as to what jobs people are or are not going to the next day.

Once the 4 o'clock hour hits we are in the midst of printing payroll for the 100 employees we sent out in the morning and printing work tickets off for our afternoon and night shift employees to be sure they get the their assignment on time. Our office is open until 6 pm each day. One of the reason we stay open longer is to make sure we can get most if not all our morning employees paid for the day and confirmed for their assignment for the next day. The other reason is to make sure that if their are any late changes to a job order we can take care of the fix or issue before the morning. We want to be able to open each day with a clear route for success.
