At Berks & Beyond, we respect and value our temporary employees!  As it turns out, they feel the same way about us.  Here’s what a few of our temporaries have to say about their experiences working with us:

From the Berks & Beyond Pottstown office:

“I am so happy with working with Berks and Beyond and I have NO desire to leave (even being on a temp-to-hire assignment).  I have the best employers at Berks and Beyond.  They have always taken care of me, even when I was down and out – they found me work very quickly.  I couldn’t ask for a more caring and understanding employer.”

–Tony Iannini

From the Berks & Beyond Allentown office:

“I, Kindalyn Phelps, just wanted to thank Berks and Beyond for being a great place to work for.  When I didn’t have a job you employed me the same day I went in.  When I got layed off you found me a job that day or the next.  So thanks for being the best place I have ever worked for ”

–Kindalyn Phelps

Kindalyn is Allentown’s Employee of the Month for April!  She has an excellent attitude and is always willing to help wherever she is needed.  Find out more about her background and work ethic on Berks & Beyond’s Facebook fan page.

At Berks & Beyond, we promise to match you with a great job – one that matches your skills, experience, and most importantly, your interests.  We’ll use a very specialized tool to help you find the right job – our ears!  It may seem a bit odd in the staffing industry today, but we’ll actually take the time to listen to you when you register with us.

In fact, we’ll spend a lot of time learning about your skills, experience and work preferences. We’ll ask you about your goals and interests, and based on what we hear, we will do our best to refer you to the jobs that you will enjoy most.

The Problem:

A Reading area employer was experiencing high turnover of the temporary employees their staffing service provided.  This staffing provider failed to adequately explain essential job functions before placing temporaries – often forcing a square peg into a round hole, just to make a placement.  These workers were often poorly matched to the assignment, and didn’t last long on the job.

Frustrated with the host of problems a “revolving door” of temporary employees caused, the employer turned to Berks & Beyond for help.

The Solution:

Berks & Beyond spent time up-front learning about the client’s unique environment, temporary job descriptions and essential job functions.  We assured this client that we would sit down with each candidate and thoroughly discuss the opportunity – responsibilities, working environment, expectations, etc. – to make the best matches, and rule-out candidates who might not be a good fit.

The client agreed to give us a shot at their business, to see how our candidates compared to the other agency’s.

The Results:

Berks & Beyond clearly and consistently outperformed our competitor.  We listened to our client’s needs and created higher quality matches.  As a result of our superior service, this Reading, PA employer now enjoys a higher placement level and significantly lower turnover ratio.

York

“Berks and Beyond is definitely different from any other staffing company that I have applied with.  What drew me to Berks and Beyond were all the success stories that I had been hearing from people who had been placed on good assignments.  They have great knowledge of the companies in the area and were able to make sure that it was a right match for me and my experience.  They make sure I am prepared for my assignment so I will know exactly what to expect.  I will continue to spread the word that Berks and Beyond is the one-stop-shop to find a great job!”

Harrisburg

“I am so thankful for Berks and Beyond Employment Services.  My testimony is a unique one.  After being laid off for a year and a half, I had registered at Berks and Beyond in late February this year…  On Wednesday, February 24th, Carl Rudolph called me from the new (Harrisburg) location and asked me if I would be interested in an office position with UGI HVAC in Manheim, 10 minutes from my home.  Of course I said, ‘Yes.’  Carl scheduled my interview for Wednesday afternoon and within an hour after my interview, Carl called me and said that the company wanted to cancel all other interviews and wanted to hire me.  I was overjoyed.  My life has now changed after being laid off for a year and a half.  Things are looking up!  Thank you Berks and Beyond Employment Services!”

“I found myself out of work after working for many years.  After 4 months of being unemployed and looking on my own, the supervisor from my old job called and told me to check out Berks & Beyond.  I walked into Berks & Beyond and everyone was so pleasant and very friendly.  They took the time in my interview to find out everything about me and my work experience.  I was feeling good about myself and that they would be able to help me find work.  An hour after leaving Berks & Beyond, they called me with a job offer and I was working the next day.  I now let everyone know to go to Berks & Beyond.  They can help to find work and the staff is wonderful – they are a great group of girls!  I am so very happy to be working for Berks & Beyond!”
