Frequently asked questions
I have never used a staffing agency before, how does this work?
It's simple! A staffing agency like Employment Source connects job seekers with employers who are hiring. We review your resume and employment application, learn what type of work you're looking for, and match you with companies that are a good fit. We handle the job search, interview coordination, and placement so you can focus on what you do best. Whether you're looking for temporary, temp-to-hire, or direct hire opportunities, we guide you through every step of the process — and there's never a fee to you as a job seeker.
How do I apply for a job through Employment Source?
You can apply online right here on our website by visiting the Apply page, or stop by our office at 2040 Rosebud Dr, Suite #3 in Billings, MT. You can also give us a call at (406) 256-3653. We'll walk you through the application, discuss what kind of work you're interested in, and start matching you with opportunities right away.
How soon do I start working?
The time it takes to be placed can vary depending on the type of position, your skills and experience, and current openings. In many cases, we can match qualified candidates with positions very quickly — sometimes within days of completing the application process. We maintain a pool of active job openings, so the sooner you apply, the sooner we can get to work for you.
What kind of opportunities do you have available?
We place candidates in a wide range of positions across many industries, including construction, manufacturing, skilled trades, administrative and clerical, oil and gas, agriculture, hospitality, and professional services. We offer temporary assignments (with a set start and end date), temp-to-hire positions (where the assignment may lead to permanent employment), and direct hire placements (permanent positions where we act as the recruiter). Check our current job listings for the latest openings.
How often should I contact your office if I haven't been placed but completed the application process?
We recommend checking in with our office at least once a week. Staying in regular contact lets us know you're actively looking and available. New positions come in frequently, and candidates who stay in touch are top of mind when opportunities arise. You can call us at (406) 256-3653 or stop by the office during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
What should I do if I can't make it to work on time or am going to be absent?
If you are going to be late or unable to make it to work, it is very important that you contact our office as soon as possible — before your scheduled shift. Call Employment Source at (406) 256-3653 and let us know so we can notify the employer and make any necessary arrangements. Reliability and communication are key to maintaining a good relationship with employers and being considered for future assignments.
