Registration is free! Remember, helping connect you with meaningful employment is why we are here! There is absolutely no charge for job seekers to use our services.
2Do I have to accept a position proposed to me by a recruiter?

  • Education
  • Capabilities
  • Experience
  • Personal goals
We do not want you to settle for a position that does not meet your expectations. Likewise, if you are unable to complete an assignment, or if you are simply not interested in the job, we encourage you to decline the offer, so we can get to work on a new opportunity for you.
3Won’t temporary assignments look bad on my resume?

Straight to the point- Not at all!

In today’s highly competitive and innovative market, temporary assignments are a terrific way to gain a wealth of experience in a variety of industries and organizations, which actually helps to improve and enhance your résumé. And with most of our clients, they know the value of being adaptable and efficient in multiple areas.

Additionally, accepting temporary assignments will help demonstrate to potential employers your willingness to roll up your sleeves and learn new skills. Not to mention, they will be happy to see you are determined to seize every attractive opportunity. We encourage our candidates to view every opportunity as a chance to add more value to their experience.

4If an assignment ends, will Optimum Staffing Solutions provide me with another job?

Absolutely! That is why we are here!

We don’t stop working for you just because you land a job placement. When our candidates have a successful and satisfactory first assignment, we keep building connections so that we can continue to offer you other opportunities.

You can count on us to keep working for you until we find the career you’ve been looking for.
