Are there any fees?
Yes. However, all fees are Employer Paid.
Is it really Confidential?
Yes. We do not share the names of our applicants or our
employers until a match is made and both parties are interested.
Often we will do our presentation generically so as to protect
that Confidentiality.
How long does the process take?
Sometimes days, sometimes weeks. Sometimes longer. We have
a good flow of jobs and people through our office. Finding
a match - job, proximity, income, experience - sometimes
comes easy and sometimes not. The more open the applicant
is and the more open the employer is the easier a match is
made. However, too often the employer is looking for very
specialized credentials.
What do you do?
We take a thorough application on each applicant. Go over
the details, check references and establish the credentials
of each applicant. We take equally thorough job orders from
employers, most of whom we have had a history of working
with over the years. When presenting employers to applicants
or applicants to employers we are very frank and honest.
We include the good with the bad and allow each to make up
their own minds about who they will or will not interview.
Do you have any references?
Yes. Call anyone in the Pacific NW that you know and ask
them about us. If you don't know anyone just grab the yellow
pages and look under A for automotive.
Why should I go through you instead of looking for myself?
You should do both. Most of our jobs are unadvertised. We
know who is doing the hiring and have access to them. If
you're currently working we can search for you confidentially
without risking your current job. A true job search should
include several sources of job contacts. You should include
Car People as one of them.
Do I have to come into the office?
It's always better if we have met you and done an eyeball
to eyeball interview - and many of our employers prefer it.
However it is not required. Obviously if you live outside
of our service area or even too far from our office to make
a visit practical then we will have to do without an interview.
For us that means that we check a couple more references
and try to get a feel for the working environment and employer
you will be most comfortable with.

Exactly how much are the fees and are there any guarantees?
Call us and we will fax, mail or e-mail them to you,
and yes. (there are guarantees)
As an employer, why should I go through you instead of
running my own ads in my local paper?
- We save you the time and cost of running ads, interviewing
unqualified applicants and taking time away from your regular
income producing schedule. By screening and pre-qualifying
applicants we only give you solid contenders to interview.
- Most of our applicants are currently working and have
signed up with us to find a new job. They are not reading
the paper. They do not want to risk their present job by
talking to friends and associates about their job search.
You may never know about the perfect person for your job
if you don't give us a call.
If I give you a job order to fill a position will you steal
someone from one of my competitors? Would you
steal someone from me?
Good question. We will never "steal" or "headhunt"
within our service area including Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Alaska or Montana. Applicants must contact us on their
own volition. Furthermore we understand that people sometimes
just have a bad day and may give us a call. Our response
is responsible and we will take time to investigate each
applicant's motive for wanting to move. Odd as it
may seem, we often find ourselves talking people into staying
where they are and trying to work matters out. If they
work for one of our customers they will have to have a
good reason for wanting to move; such as an unreasonable
commute, promotion, different job etc..
Do you do any testing?
Not at this time. We do encourage both pre-employment drug
testing and pre-employment tests to determine compatibility
with the specific opening.
