Frequently Asked Questions

Home For Job SeekersFrequently Asked Questions

Why should I include DPI Staffing in my job search?

DPI has relationships with employers of all kinds and we are constantly in touch with hiring managers about their latest job openings. These employers often have open positions (either temporary, temp-to-hire or direct hire) that they don’t post publicly, but will contact a staffing agency about. So by working with DPI Staffing, more hiring managers will see your resume and you’ll have access to jobs you won’t find on job boards like Indeed or ZipRecruiter.

What kinds of placements does DPI make?

Many of our placements are in light industrial and administrative positions, as well as some technical and skilled trade placements. These include temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire roles. See our current job openings for a list of positions we’re currently hiring for.

Can I get a permanent job through DPI Staffing?

YES! We have great relationships with employers of all kinds, and they’re increasingly coming to us for temp-to-hire employees or direct hire employees.

Where are your jobs?

We hire for positions in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. Click here for our locations and contact info.

How long before I actually get a job?

It depends, but we try to get you to work as fast as we can. Once the drug screen and criminal background check results are complete and satisfactory, you may be considered for an assignment. After that, it will depend on the assignments we obtain and your skill set to make a match.

How long do jobs last?

The length of assignments varies depending on the client and position. We make placements for short- and long-term temporary jobs, as well as temp-to-hire and permanent positions. Talk to your Recruiter about your availability and career goals.

If it is a temporary job, can I get into another job relatively soon?

We are consistently busy and try to keep our associates working. It is important to stay in touch with your Recruiter to ensure that you can obtain another placement.

Does DPI have part-time positions?

The definition of part-time varies from person to person. DPI Staffing gets very few long-term, part-time assignments. Some short-term assignments may be 8 hours in a day, but not necessarily 40 hours in a week.

Do you charge money to find me a job?

No, our services are absolutely free for job seekers.

Can I sign up with other staffing agencies?

Absolutely. While we would like to be the ones to find an employment opportunity for you, it is best to keep your search options open.

How can I get hired on permanently at my assignment?

If it is a temp-to-hire assignment, you will be given that information when the position is presented to you. If a client is interested in hiring you while you’re in a temporary job, they will notify DPI Staffing and we will contact you to make sure this is something you are interested in as well.

How often should I call to be active and looking for work?

You must call in your availability to the front desk at least twice a week anytime Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Who is responsible for getting me assignments?

Our Recruiters make the matches for open assignments with our associates. They’re great folks and we’re confident you’ll enjoy working with them.

Does DPI Staffing offer personal time off (PTO)?

Yes – ask your Recruiter for details.

What is the work week?

The work week that should be reflected on your timesheet is Monday through Sunday.

When do I get paid? How often?

Weekly. For the workweek ending Sunday, you are paid the following Friday. Timesheets are due Monday by 1 p.m. We encourage you to take advantage of direct deposit or a paycard.

From day one they were remarkably helpful in securing me quality work. They were extremely professional, quick to assist me in any way they could, and helped me find work almost immediately, which led to a permanent position. Highly recommend.
