Sourcing and Screening Process

Requirements Definition: Our process relies on full comprehension of our clients’ needs. Our recruiters first seek to understand the business results our clients require and expect. Once they have a complete understanding of the assignment and what is required to achieve success, they work with clients to define the characteristics of the ideal temp for the job. This includes the level of professional needed, technical skill requirements, work habits, formal education requirements and any other performance-impacting criteria. This thorough understanding allows us to acquire the best-suited insurance, healthcare and financial services temps for each individual role.

Sourcing:Utilizing their intimate knowledge of the industry, expert recruiting abilities and Jacobson’s vast pool of resources, our client service managers quickly source the marketplace for prospective temps. Jacobson’s name recognition and reputation allows our team access to the industry’s largest, most qualified pool of candidates. Prospective insurance, healthcare and financial services professionals are also uncovered through our current and recent employees and their referrals, an extensive proprietary database, and our involvement and leadership in industry and local community organizations.

Qualifications Review: All candidates are evaluated in terms of skill set, demonstrated work experience and past performance to determine if they would be a successful fit for the client’s project. Since every assignment requires its own specific skill set and experience level, temps who have worked for us in the past are also re-evaluated at this time to determine whether or not they are a potential fit for the specific position. After a credentials review, all qualified candidates are thoroughly interviewed by phone and in person by our experienced interviewing team. We also complete a minimum of two supervisor reference checks and a criminal background check on every potential candidate.

Candidate Selection:Our selection process is what sets us apart from other firms. We consider it our personal responsibility to choose the insurance, healthcare or financial services temp who is best-suited for the role based on a number of qualifying factors, including experience, education, training, skill set and corporate fit potential. Utilizing our industry expertise, the in-depth candidate information we gathered and the specific requirements deemed appropriate for the client and position, we select the most qualified temp for the role.

Implementation: Our team conducts an employee orientation, including hours, dress code, contact names, estimated duration of engagement and other client expectations. We also review the Jacobson Employee Handbook with each temp to ensure that our standards of performance and professionalism are reflected at our clients’ locations. Jacobson handles all issues regarding payroll and related taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, unemployment insurance and other issues falling under the human resources umbrella. We also provide professional liability insurance on all of our temps.

Management: The Jacobson team stays involved throughout the duration of the project. Through constant communication with our client and employees, we work proactively to ensure successful results.
