As you read through our website, we hope you will notice our commitment to treating individuals like individuals and not commodities, as well as holding up high ethical standards. It is no secret that the staffing industry has gotten some bad press over the years (see the second link at the bottom if you don’t know what we mean) and we feel that it is our job at Aorist to combat that negative stereotype by impressing our candidates as well as our clients with excellent matches that will survive for years to come.
We are a member of the American Staffing Association, which is an organization that matches our beliefs in holding up high ethical standards within the industry. Everyone in our office is certified through ASA, which includes training in employment law. Please see first link for ASA’s staffing facts, and see why the staffing industry is and has been beneficial to many individuals.
Here at Aorist, we are focused on a very specific niche, which is engineering and manufacturing-related technical positions. The majority of the companies we work with are small to medium-size engineering and manufacturing organizations, and they often have both their engineering and production operations under the same roof. Having a clear area of focus helps us to find and keep in touch with candidates well suited for our clients and vice versa.
We are also a small organization, based in Denver for 40 years and focused, for the most part, on the Colorado Front Range job market. We also work in Boise, ID, and it is our goal to expand our presence in that market as well, once the market begins to approve. We believe that smaller areas of geographical focus also helps us to retain relationships with candidates and clients.
We actively maintain a large database of candidates and do our best to keep it up to date. That way we remember them when they call, we remember when they’ve worked with us before, and we can reach out to them when the right job comes along. We are always interested in meeting new candidates who are interested in working with companies in our niche.
We respond to all resumes as quickly as we can, because we believe that everyone should be treated with respect. Even if they are not the best match for the current openings, they could very well be the best match for an opening down the road.
Our commitment to good matches is based on our interest in working with clients and candidates on a repeat basis. Many of our clients have been our friends for many years, coming to us when they need someone to fulfill a contract role or to find the next member of their team. We have put many of our candidates to work over and over as they have gone through different phases of their lives. We are always interested in meeting new friends, creating long term relationships, or renewing relationships with old friends. Our sales team takes the time to personally visit the offices of our clients and potential clients to meet them face to face, see what their facility is like and improve on our understanding of their needs.
When we identify a promising candidate for an opening, we take time to get to know them through our own interactions and reference checks. We keep this information handy, so we know what is appealing to them and where they might be the best fit, either for the current opening or down the road. We try our best to present an accurate vision of our candidates to our clients, so they will be more likely to bring them in for an interview.
We want our clients and employees to come back to us! We want our client to be so pleased that they want to hire the employee direct - so they will remember that good placement and will call us the next time they have a need. If our client has only a short term requirement, we want to impress them with a top notch candidate, so they will come back to us for their next need. And we want our employees to be happy with their assignments, so they will want to work with us again.
We take care of our employees by providing them with an insurance program that works on a week to week basis (we pay weekly), providing holiday pay for the six major holidays after 350 hours, and a week of paid vacation after 2000 hours worked. We are always open to hearing how our candidates and clients are feeling about the assignment and placement. We want to hear the good and bad so that we can continually improve.
We are always willing to communicate, whether it be through email or by phone. Just try us! We want to make your experience of the staffing industry favorable - so favorable you won’t want to work any other way.
