Why Whitman Associates Should Be Your D.C. Permanent and Temp Work Agency

Whitman Associates has been a trusted partner to organizations and professionals looking for individualized staffing services for more than five decades. As one of Washington, D.C.’s most respected employment agencies, we’re doing more than placement. We build relationships that are a springboard for long-term success.  As an organization enlisting the help of a temp staffing agency, you might need someone to cover an unexpected leave of absence, or you’re making a strategic choice about a hire. We locate the appropriate candidate to fill the position with precision and care.

Whitman Associates  takes pride in knowing your specific business needs so that we can present a candidate who not only has the skills but fits well within your work culture. Whitman Associates stands out from other agencies with a level of personalization that you simply won’t find anywhere else. With the speed of today’s economy, corporations are looking for more than resumes– they’re looking for solid, seasoned partners who know their objectives and get results in a timely manner. Our agency steps in to help qualified candidates find the career opportunity they need, and provides our clients with strategically selected candidates to fill open roles. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all strategy.

The Benefits of Temp-to-Hire Placements

Hiring a full-time worker is a big investment– and one that’s difficult to reverse if it does not work out. That’s why employers have turned so heavily to temp-to-hire employment agencies to place workers in jobs they can “test drive” before making them permanent. It’s time, money and effort-saving, with reduced turnover and improved productivity.

By having a temp-to-hire situation, companies can test the waters with just about everything from a job candidate’s reliability and professionalism to whether they mesh with the team. Our temp staffing agency has found that it also benefits candidates, who get to try out the job, the team dynamic and the corporate culture first before entering into a longer-term agreement. It makes for closer matches on both ends.

Most temp-to-hire employment agencies may concentrate on volume, but we focus on finding the right fit. We can assist in identifying the ideal person for the appropriate position at the most opportune moment. Our services extend even after the placement has been made– we offer continual support throughout the process to assist the employer as well as the employee throughout the entire process.

Working for Diverse Employers in Various Industries

Our clients are as diverse as the D.C. region itself. From for-profits and federal contractors to nonprofits, Whitman Associates serves clients of every size and industry type. Whatever your industry, we have staffing solutions that address your particular needs.

As one of the most experienced employment agencies in the region, we’re deeply familiar with the hiring challenges that each sector faces. Government contractors, associations, and corporations spanning education, healthcare, legal and financial services all rely on our targeted recruiting strategies to fill key roles with speed and accuracy.

As a temp staffing agency, we also understand that not all needs are long-term in nature. Some of our clients initially reach out to us for temporary staffing needs– either to fill a seasonal project or cover a sudden opening– and then bring those employees on full-time after seeing their work quality firsthand. As a top temp-to-hire staffing firm, we make that transition smooth and easy.
