Staffing for Every Business

STAFFING FOR EVERY BUSINESS

RISK AND REWARD: HIRING CONSIDERATIONS FOR A BUSINESS YOUR SIZE. WHY A FLEXIBLE WORKFORCE IS A POSITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT REMOVE HIRING RISK Your business is growing, but you question if now is the right time to hire. What if business slows? What if the new hire doesn’t work out?

Partnering with Elwood takes the pressure off of and the guesswork out of hiring decisions. Increase or decrease staff according to business demands, avoid additional unemployment costs, and only hire the best of the best onto your payroll.

COMPETITIVE EDGE When it comes to benefits, it’s tough to compete against other companies with greater buying power and budgets. With Elwood, you can level the playing field. Our benefits package offers everything from paid holidays and health, vision, and dental insurance to Rx coverage and exclusive discounts and rewards.

OBTAIN GREATER RECRUITING REACH Why start your search from scratch when Elwood has an established recruiting network? Elwood’s recruiters comb the local market each day for talent, calling referrals and forming relationships with both active and passive job seekers.

This means we know where and how to look for talent—from entry level to highly experienced.

REDUCE THE COST OF HIRING AND TURNOVER The upfront costs of hiring are prohibitive for many companies, and the administrative and statutory costs are even greater.

We pay all the attraction and recruiting expenses as well as all hiring-related costs, including benefits, payroll, unemployment, and workers’ compensation—and all tax filing and record keeping.

Your time is valuable—let Elwood take on these burdens while you remain agile and avoid drains on productivity and morale.

MAINTAIN HIRING CONTROL If relinquishing control of any aspect of your business worries you, you can rest your fears—you’re still the boss, and you determine your level of involvement. We keep you updated with critical details every step of the way, and every placement is guaranteed. If one of our employees does not meet your expectations, we will work with you to find a suitable replacement.

FOCUS ON RUNNING THE BUSINESS Don’t spend your time on HR activities when the business needs you elsewhere. Delegate!
