Career Seekers Frequently Asked Questions
What does All's Well's Services cost?
All's Well's services are completely free to you, the candidate.
How does All's Well make money?
The companies you go to work for pay All's Well for our services.
If companies have to pay you, doesn't that mean I could make more money on
my own?
No. The money All's Well makes doesn't come out of your salary. It comes out of
the other costs employers face when hiring. Costs such as Advertising and
Recruitment, Workers Compensation Insurance, the Employer Contribution to
Social Security, Lost Time Interviewing and Reviewing Resumes. Over and above
what an employer pays the employee, it actually costs anywhere from $3,000 to
$10,000 to hire somebody. Because of our economies of scale, All's Well can do
these things cheaper and more efficiently than an employer and they pay us for
the money and time we save them.
In fact, it has been our experience that you would make less money on your own
because our professional Account Executives act as your agent to negotiate the
highest level of pay possible.
Aren't all employment services the same?
No. All's Well is very different. We are one of the few services who can offer
you both direct-hire and temporary placements. More than that, we are the only
service that understands that you are every bit as important as employer
companies to our success. Because it is the employer company that pays for an
employment agency's services, most agencies view them as the client. If you've
been to other employment services then the poor way they treated you starts to
make sense once you understand how they actually see you.
At All's Well, we know that that is absolutely wrong. You are a unique
individual, and satisfying your needs is just as important as satisfying the
needs of the companies that pay us. Our goal is to keep you as a client for
life, and as a client, we treat you with the respect you deserve.
What kinds of jobs are available?
We place hundreds of candidates every week, and naturally some of our employer
companies do have currently open positions that we are attempting to fill.
However, that's not the end of our service to you. After all, you are also one
of our clients, and you probably have a dream job that you would like to find.
Once we understand what your needs are, we will go out and attempt to find or
create a situation in which those needs will be satisfied. This is what makes
us different from any of the other services out there.
How much will I make?
That depends on a wide number of factors including what you want to do, how
marketable your skills are, the region of the country you live in and any
number of other unique variables. Your local Account Executive can help you
evaluate your earning potential more thoroughly.
How do I get paid?
That depends on the type of placement. If you are hired by one of our employer
companies in a direct-hire position, you get your paychecks and benefits from
them just like anybody else.
If you go out on a temporary assignment, then you are on the All's Well payroll.
We have weekly paydays, which means that for extended assignments you can
expect to get a check every Friday. You may stop by the branch office where you
registered to pick up your check, or instruct us to mail it to you.
What if I want the freedom temporary assignments afford, but I need
benefits?
All's Well provides its Temporary Associates with a complete menu of benefits
including:
-
Medical Plan
-
Dental Plan
-
Vision Plan
-
Credit Union
-
401(k)
-
Bonus Programs
-
Associate of the Month - An honor that can earn you extra cash and recognition!
-
"The Beat" - A newsletter filled with current news and helpful hints
-
Computer Training offered in a variety of computer software programs with
tuition reimbursement
-
Bonuses and Incentive Programs
-
Referral Bonuses
-
Weekly Paydays
-
You will have to meet some standard eligibility requirements. Ask your Account
Executive about regional specifics.
How can I get started as an All's Well associate?
You can begin right now. The first step is to
post a resume. After that, give us a
call to arrange a time for a complete career needs evaluation. This is
a very thorough process, so you should expect to spend about two hours with
your Account Executive. If you can't free up that large a block of time, let
your Account Executive know. He can try to work around your schedule or arrange
multiple appointments, allowing you to spread the process out over several
days.
Businesses - Frequently Asked Questions
What differentiates All's Well from your competition?
All's Well's commitment is to provide solutions for today's health care
companies facing the challenges of cost-effectively managing a workforce while
maintaining a high level of productivity. We conduct business with the highest
standards of integrity--resulting in "clients for life," the paramount
philosophy of our founder, Bernard Howroyd. By tailoring out programs to meet
the individual staffing needs of each client company, and by helping our valued
associates achieve their career objectives, we nurture long-term partnerships
built upon decades of human resource experience and quality service.
What value-added services does All's Well offer to their Health Care
Clients?
All's Well is committed to become an extension of your company's Human Resource
department. Our Account Executives familiarize themselves with your company's
staffing needs, and work with you to plan a cost-effective and efficient
strategy to implement our services.
How much does your service cost?
All's Well's services are priced very competitively in relation to the market.
In fact, most employers find that it is less expensive to work with All's Well
than to seek to hire a quality individual by more traditional means. Due to the
high degree of customization inherent in the services All's Well provides for
you, it is impossible to know in advance what costs will apply specifically to
your situation.
What is All's Well's new hire procedure and how do you screen candidates?
All's Well has an intensive screening and evaluation procedure that all
candidates must undergo before they are considered associates. All candidates
are interviewed, screened and tested, and we require at least two positive
work-related references. To further ensure a candidate's viability, there are
optional background and drug screening procedures available for our clients.
What benefits are available for your temporary employees?
Associates have access to a host of benefits to cover medical, dental and vision
care. In addition, a 401(k) investment option grants our associates a practical
solution to retirement planning. By offering a variety of employee benefits, we
develop and maintain a stronger relationship with our associates. In this
manner, we keep our associates protected and contented--reducing turnover and
increasing quality.
How long will it take All's Well to find quality professionals once an order
is placed?
Our staffing professionals respond to job order requests in a timely manner. For
most orders, we provide progress reports every 30 minutes until a qualified
All's Well associate is confirmed with your company. For more elaborate orders,
or when there are unique requests for certain skill sets, rest assured All's
Well will provide the personnel your company seeks in a suitable time frame.
Furthermore, All's Well assures a 100% fill ratio for all of our clients'
orders. If necessary, we will utilize one of our alternate vendor relationships
to assist in finding the most qualified associate.
What is All's Well's procedure when an associate does not work out?
As each new assignment gets underway, our Account Executive contacts the
appropriate supervisor to make sure that the temporary associate's work
performance is satisfactory. If an associate proves unsatisfactory for any
reason, the employee will be replaced. Provided you notify All's Well within
the first day of assignment, there will be no charge for the day. We will also
discuss appropriate credit whenever an associate's work is unacceptable
according to your performance standards.
How does All's Well handle requests for skill sets not held by associates in
the database?
All's Well's presence in the print and radio media and our interactive web site
assure a far-reaching recruitment base. Our network of offices enables our
company to recruit a large number of quality individuals on a regular basis.
All's Well has the resources to customize our recruiting to suit the needs of
each client. No matter the skill sets required for a position, All's Well can
assure clients receive the quality potential candidates they seek.

productive help when you need it for as long as you need it.

you help me with that?

your employment needs including Direct Hire Placement. Please click Here to
find out more about our Direct Hire Services.
I need to make every dollar count, and I'm not sure I can afford your
service. Why should I pay you a fee?
More then ever, when cost is a consideration, you can't afford not to entrust
your search to a competent staffing professional. Selecting a new-hire is one
of the most challenging tasks facing any business owner or manager. The wrong
choice can thoroughly effect the delicate balance in your office, so you can't
afford to make a mistake.
Additionally, many of the costs associated with hiring a new employee can be
eliminated or substantially reduced as a result of working with All's Well.
Concerns such as advertising, recruiting, screening, fringe benefits,
unemployment insurance and workers' compensation are eliminated or
substantially reduced.
More than that though are the substantial risks that new employers, without the
benefit of years of experience, take when attempting to do it on their own. You
risk the potential for significant EEOC related fines, tax penalties, even
employment litigation.
With so much riding on it, the aid of a good staffing partner like All's Well
could be the best insurance your business ever obtains.
What if I find somebody I like better then any of the people you present to
me? Will I have to hire one of your people?
You are under no obligation to hire any of the people we send to you. In fact
even if you do choose to hire one of our candidates and then discover later
that it isn't working out, you will be covered by our exclusive assurance
program which may replace the person at no cost or at a substantial discount
depending on how long the person was employed with you.
Do we have to pay even if we don't like any of the candidates you present?
You are under no obligation unless you choose to hire one of our candidates.
All's Well really is the no-risk way to ensure you're seeing the best people
for your needs.
What if I really like somebody, but I'm just not sure they're going to work
out?
All's Well provides several options which can make it easier for you go gain
confidence in your hiring decision.
First, you may choose to go ahead and hire that person despite your
reservations. In that event, your decision is protected by our exclusive
Assurance Program which may replace the person for you at no cost or at a
substantial reduction depending on when you realize they are not working out.
Alternately, you may choose to take advantage of our Temp-to-Hire program which
allows you to evaluate the selected candidate in your workplace for a
predetermined period before making the decision to actually bring them on
board. During this period, the candidate will remain on our payroll, so there
is absolutely no risk to you.
Why should I use a service like All's Well instead of just running an ad in
the paper or on the Internet?
When you're ready to hire, All's Well makes it simple, fast and affordable. Just
a few of the reasons companies pick All's Well:
Get the Best Person for the Job
Chances are, the best person for your position isn't reading newspaper ads. They
made the same choice you're about to make - delegating the details of a job
search to us while continuing to expend their valuable energies on building
profit for their current employer. Our candidates are the best in their field;
highly qualified health care professionals committed to staying with their next
employer for years. Most people hired through newspaper ads stay with their
employer for less than one year.
Save Time
All's Well saves you time by filtering your applicant pool for you. Say good-bye
to pouring through piles of resumes or wasting your time in interviews with
applicants who clearly do not match your needs. You can go about your real job
while focusing only on candidates that have been screened, tested and
referenced to meet your criteria.
What makes All's Well different from all the other employment services?
All's Well is the only service that recognizes that the candidate is every bit
as much our client as the companies we serve. Because we offer the best
benefits and the most services, we are able to recruit the best people. Many of
the candidates who come to us were referred by other candidates who achieved
the results they were looking for through All's Well. Additionally, we have a
full menu of customizable options from which you may choose.
I think I would feel more comfortable working with a woman (or a man, or
somebody of a particular age or ethnic background). Will you search for
somebody matching those criteria.
All's Well is an equal opportunity employer, and we will not eliminate somebody
from consideration for any position based upon gender, age or ethnic
background.
What kind of screening processes do you do with the people you will be
presenting to me?
All All's Well offices are equipped with our AppLearn evaluation and testing
system. AppLearn is a validated evaluation and tutorial program that is updated
as new software is released into the market.
All's Well is currently able to test, evaluate and train temporary and direct
hire personnel on all the most common computer programs. In addition, All's
Well has the ability to update our AppLearn system to accommodate your specific
software. This feature allows All's Well to test and screen for your exact
needs.
In addition to All's Well's computer evaluation process, an experienced Account
Executive conducts a pre-employment screening. All's Well represents only those
professionals who uphold the quality standards of All's Well. Our screening
assists our staffing professionals in identifying our candidates' short and
long-term career objectives. In-depth interviews, Injury and Illness Prevention
Programs, and Reference Checks all play major roles in ensuring quality in
every placement.
Tell me more about your background checks. What is involved in that?
Naturally, we verify employment history. Additionally, All's Well has
established relationships with various investigative agencies to perform
criminal background checks, social security checks, and DMV verifications on an
as-needed basis for an additional small fee. All's Well has established a
strategic alliance with A-Check
America, Inc. who provides and entire host of drug screening and
background checks. Through this relationship, we can perform whatever level of
screening you require.
