Doherty Staffing Solutions

Doherty is a great company to work for.  I still feel like I'm dreaming, this company is just too good to be true.  There is always room to grow within the company, they are great team players, always make sure employees are happy and always willing to help.  When I 1st got the job it was agreed that I would be an intern and have the possibility to become a full-time employee while I was finishing up my degree.  However, after only a week and a half of working there they recognized my hard-work and they brought me on as a full time employee and were willing to be flexible with my school schedule.  I wasn't even going above and beyond i was just doing my job but they still recognized that. Thanks to them they are helping me pay off my Student loans, they are going to pay for my masters degree, I have great benefits, and enough money to provide for me and my family.  They gave me enough time to learn my job and made sure I was comfortable before being on my own.  My Managers, Supervisors even the Vice President is constantly making sure I am doing ok and i am happy, they're always one phone call or email away.  I never feel neglected, taken advantage of or overlooked.   They recognize my hard work and always reward me one way or another. The work life balance works great for me.  I get to spend time with my family, I even had enough time to finish my degree while working full time!  The company always works as a team and you never feel alone.  The only hard part about this job is finding candidates but as long as I'm making an effort to recruit and doing my job to the best of my ability that's all that they ask for.  I enjoy everything about my job, what I love the most is that I get the opportunity to help someone find a job and seeing their glowing faces when they've realized they have a job.  I love this job not because of the pay or the location but because they treat me right, they respect me, and they value me as an employee.

Working for Doherty as a staffing specialist means making tons of phone calls to prospective candidates hoping to find the right fit for the job openings you have. You are responsible for the interview process and determining which if any of the positions you are staffing for is right for the candidate. 

The management is solid and they do what they can to make sure you have both the tools you need to succeed and someone to fall back on when you are unsure of something. They could use more one on one feedback but they do the best that they can. 

Doherty promotes a fun workplace environment with great and friendly coworkers. They also push a bit of competition as well to keep things lively. With tons of training for the employees to attend and onsite corporate training you always feel like the company "sees" you and acknowledges you. Doherty will also host company wide events in which it encourages it's employees to meet and mingle and become a stronger team overall.

One of the most difficult parts of the job is having candidates you have placed either not show up for work or let you down on the job. It can be emotionally draining to get someone a job only to have them stop showing up for no reason. On the other hand one of the most enjoyable things is when you find someone a job and they love it. You are changing peoples lives and finding them a source of income to provide for their families. It's those times that make everything else worth while. The smile on a candidates face when they are told they are going to be hired is something you never forget. 

Working at Doherty Staffing Solutions as a temp, opened an opportunity to work at Cargill Kitchen Solutions. A typical day at work involved coming in at the correct time. I worked 2nd shift. (1:30-10 or OT.) There were locker rooms for the boys and girls. We needed to put on our hairnets, bump hats, ear protection, coat/smocks, steel toed boots that needed to be sanitized if we stepped out of the factory at all, and safety glasses. We would go to the kitchen we were assigned on a schedule. We did our stretches for the fact that we would be standing, twisting, turning, bending, lifting, ect. We would work on the assembly/production lines, and get a 20 minute break every 2 hours. The food we produced was shipped worldwide, and needed to be inspected for food safety reasons. 

I learned that its important to let the supervisors know right away if you have an injury, no matter how minor it may seem, so the problem doesn't get any worse.  

We had Line Operators, and Supervisors, and Crew Leaders. That was our management, and they supervised us to make sure we're keeping up, that we're not goofing around, because we were there to work. 

At first, any job seems hard. This job was a little difficult to begin with, but I'm a quick learner, and it got easy pretty fast. My favorite part was talking with co-workers, and the rotations we would have from spot to spot. It was the fact that we, as a team, were making all this food to satisfy our customers. I enjoy working in a factory, and I enjoy working in production areas.

Doherty is a great place to get your feet wet in the recruiting world and expand your skills. Working onsite at a client company has allowed me to branch out and expand my skill set on my own while having a support team virtually. The company culture is a breath of fresh air from my previous positions. My regional team is extremely supportive of each other, friendly, genuine, and always willing to help each other. Doherty, as a company, is always finding new opportunities for adaptability and improvement in an ever changing job market. I appreciate that they are always looking for tools to help me be successful in my position. The hardest part of the job is the job itself. The job market is challenging but the challenge is also what makes working in staffing both rewarding and exciting. The work/life balance has always been amazing. Communication and transparency are good. Training and mentorship are there for those who have the ambition to reach out for it. Overall, working for Doherty has ticked every box that I personally found important in a job and I'm super happy to have landed here right now.

Doherty is a great first job out of school. It seems to be where a lot of new grads end up because of how basic the requirements are to be hired. 

The culture highly depends on which office you end up in. The Area Operations manager does an amazing job at matching recruiters in the clerical division based on a culture fit. 

Where Doherty lacks is mostly in expectations. Expectations from the beginning are clearly stated but not upheld. Metric requirements fluctuate and it is unclear if they are not upheld because they are unreasonable or because they would have to let go of half of their recruiting staff if they did so. 

My advice to the company is to figure out a clear and reasonable goal for your clerical division and then back it completely. Expecting your clerical team to live up to your light industrial offices is unreasonable and causes those employees to feel unsatisfied in their work and unmotivated.

Overall, I did enjoy working at Doherty but believe they could make some changes.

I would highly recommend working at Doherty Staffing Solutions. The work place culture is so welcoming and cooperative. You definitely feel like a significant part of the team when you are working with the people in the area. The communication is impeccable and the amount of fun you have while on the job is amazing. Being a part of the Southern MN Territory has been the most rewarding job I have had and would not trade it for the world. The management team is some of the most light hearted and caring people you will ever meet and all your other coworkers are not even considered coworkers...they are family. While working with Doherty you never feel as though you are alone and confined to just your desk. You have a whole team backing you up and that is one the biggest pros...you will always be supported. The hours you work are presented to you from the get-go and are completely fair! The thing that I like the most about this company and especially my team is that whenever you are stuck or just need some fresh idea there is so many trusting and amicable people that are willing to help.

I've been lucky enough to work for this company for twelve years now.  What keeps me here?  A lot of things!  The way everyone works as a team and supports each other is one of my favorite things.  These people have become my family and I am so grateful for that.  The hours will depend on your workload; as long as you are managing your time to get your work done then you don't need to stay past five.  It's rare that you are required to stay until the required time, which is 6pm.  I highly respect our management team and truly believe that they are consistently trying to improve our processes to make our jobs easier.  This is not an easy industry to work in so it's great to know they are always trying to make improvements. 

It's a very relaxed environment which makes it so easy to come to work every day.  We definitely have fun!  One of my favorite things the owners do for their employees is random drawings for various events.  This is how I was able to go to my first Vikings game, with a few more following.  

As long as you are willing to work hard and put in the effort, I highly recommend Doherty as a place to work!

I am an Onsite Manager at Doherty. A typical day includes talking with employees onsite and getting feedback on their performance. I also recruit for other companies that we have a contract with. I interview candidates, present their resumes to  the companies they are qualified for and interested in. From there, if a company is interested in scheduling an interview I get that set up. A big part is communication (email, phone, or text) whether it is internally or with candidates doing onsite/phone interviews, as well as current companies we recruit for. 
Whether it is Management or fellow co-workers you are treated with respect. The environment is fun, friendly, and supportive. The company puts on picnics, has games to participate in for rewards too. It is very comfortable and feels good to go to work each day. You are given positive feedback and support to do your best at your job. 
There is a lot to learn initially but the support is there for you to do your best! 
I enjoy helping others find work that matches what they are wanting/looking for.  

I have been a part of this company for over 5 years and I am so thankful for the opportunities that working at Doherty has given me. As a family-owned company, we are a close knit group. You are never without support and know that everyone is here to help out as needed. It's still a large enough company that there are advancement opportunities too, which is another big plus. The company culture is the thing I love most about working for Doherty, I have found life-long friends and business connections from working here. We are in the people business and the people of our communities definitely keep us busy. No day is exactly like the last, there are always challenges coming up to learn and grow from. It's rewarding to know you are making a difference in people's lives, whether it's a candidate or a business contact. If you like a job that is fast paced and enjoy working as a team, Doherty is the place for you!

In my time of being here so far, I have received nothing but good vibes from my upper management team and my co workers. When ever I am faced with a problem, my management team is quick to respond and assist with coming up with a solution. Throughout my whole career with Doherty, they have never steered me in the wrong direction. I truly enjoy coming to work everyday because of the team that I work with. There has been numerous times, when I am having a difficult day, I would speak with my managers, and their door is always open and they actually care about my feelings as a whole. And that is extremely important to me- to have managers that actually care about me as a person, not just an employee. I also really enjoy the fact that the managers participate in our fun little shenanigans in the office such as potlucks, puzzles and games. I take pride in the fact that- they treat me like family, and whenever I am in need of anything, I can count on my team to stand behind me 100%! And not many places of employment can say that.
