Lantana, FL and Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 15, 2009

HireMeNow.com, LLC, an online temporary employment marketplace and pioneer in multimedia recruiting, and Advantec, a provider of HR, Payrolland Benefit Services to small and mid-sized businesses, today announced that Advantec will promote HireMeNow.com’s services to its clients.

Advantec offers an extensive array of human resources and services to its clients and partners with trusted third-party vendors for related services which it does not offer. Through its relationship with HireMeNow.com, Advantec now can recommend a single temporary staffing firm to its clients that need contingent workers. With HireMeNow.com’s innovative online service, Advantec’s clients can access detailed profiles of available candidates, choose the best ones to interview and hire, and pay the billable rate all online, and at far lower rates than traditional staffing agencies. While HireMeNow.com’s website is easy to use, it also offers phone and email-based customer support, and can assist companies at any stage of the process of finding, hiring, and managing temp and temp-to-perm workers.

“We’ve found that the use of contingent workers at our client companies has increased in recent years,” stated Dianna Sheppard, CEO of Advantec. “But traditional temporary employment agencies are either too big and don’t want to service our small to medium-sized clients, or they are too regionally focused, or too concentrated on one occupation. HireMeNow.com, through its unique business model, offers an excellent temporary employment service for a broad range of occupations across the country, which is very complementary to our offerings.”

“A temporary workforce allows companies the flexibility to react to internal and external business conditions swiftly and cost-effectively. As compared to a permanent workforce, the recruitment process is shorter, the duration of the assignment matches the exact needs of the employer and the total cost is usually less,” said Phillip Thune, CEO of HireMeNow.com. “With our online, cost-effective model we are the perfect solution to offer across the board to Advantec’s diverse small to mid-sized client base. And, we operate under the same philosophy as Advantec: streamlining processes to pass value through to our clients.”

The HireMeNow.com Model
HireMeNow.com is the first truly online temporary staffing service. It makes the entire process of hiring and managing a temporary worker web-based, transparent, and consequently, less expensive. Employers have access to the entire pool of qualified HireMeNow.com job candidates, and are able to view each job candidates’ qualifications and desired hourly rate side-by-side. This allows companies to make their own decisions on which candidates might be the best fit (as opposed to being sent a small group of candidates to interview).

Employers also have the freedom to communicate directly with interested candidates to ask them to take a skills test (there are hundreds to choose from; Microsoft Excel is one example), to request an interview and/or a background or reference check.

HireMeNow.com makes all temporary workers available at a 42% mark-up, so a $20.00 per hour temp will always cost $28.40 (all-inclusive, including the temp’s wages, FICA, FUTA, workers comp insurance, etc.). HireMeNow.com’s 42% mark-up is significantly less than that of traditional agencies, which can charge 60%, 80%, 100% or more. If an employer later decides to convert a temp to a direct hire, HireMeNow.com charges a one-time conversion fee of 8% of the annualized wage. Traditional temp agencies or headhunters charge between 20% and 30% of an employee's annual salary, so this represents a large additional savings for companies.
