Olsten Staffing

Being a Branch Manager at Olsten Staffing is an exceptional and rewarding role for several reasons. Firstly, it allows me to make a tangible impact on both job seekers and client companies. I  have the privilege of helping individuals find employment, contributing to their livelihoods, and assisting clients in building effective, productive teams.  This job is dynamic and offers a unique blend of responsibilities, from business development and client relationship management to talent acquisition and team leadership. This variety keeps the role engaging and provides opportunities for personal and professional growth.
As a Branch Manager, I  get to lead and inspire a team of recruiters and support staff, fostering their development and helping them succeed in their roles. This leadership role is both challenging and fulfilling.
Moreover, the staffing industry is ever evolving, providing constant opportunities to learn and adapt to changing market demands. This keeps the job intellectually stimulating and ensures that no two days are the same!  




A typical day at work included working the same positions as the employees of the client's company. For example, the client's employees would operate various machines and the temporary employees were expected to do the same, even though their job was only inspection. The work environment depended on the department a person was assigned to. Some departments were very lax, while others were the opposite. Management was not always seen on the floor, but was readily available if needed. They had a tendency of having only the textbook version of operating machinery instead of hands-on experience.  The hardest part of the job was trying to patch up broken machinery enough to continue production. The most enjoyable part of the job was  getting paid weekly instead of bi-weekly.

Fair in terms of expectations and compensation.  All else dependent on the individual client to which one is assigned.  I was assigned to a staffing contractor providing labor to the US Department of State, specifically Miami Passport Agency.  This assignment was super strict, but still very enjoyable in terms of nice coworkers, pleasant physical environment and steady hours.  I left to accept a permanent position, but would have stayed indefinitely otherwise.  The staffing contractor (Stanley Associates) constantly needed extra staff, over a period of years, so this was entirely possible.  It just fit my needs to get a position with an institution where I could grow in security and financially.

I was responsible for temporary employees for Schick, Bayer, Cheeseborough Ponds.  I enjoyed working for Olsten Staffing Services. I began as a clerk and was offered the position of a Personnel Supervisor within a few short months. I interview  and trained prospective employees for positions in warehouse positions.  I was responsible for all aspect of Human Resources with those individuals, as I was there off-sight manager.

It was a wonderful environment to work in .  I traveled from site to site and implemented a partnership  and a program with a local training facility.

The job was not hard at all, I enjoyed my position and the interaction with the employees.

Olsten Staffing is a temporary agency that assigns individuals to several different companies and organizations. They are a very good company with professional, friendly staff. I liked working for them. I worked at Chattem in Chattanooga. They have three different plants that I know about, and worked at, one of which was so fast pace, I missed the filling of several containers on the assembly line, I had become ill, and found it very hard to climb the mountain to get to plant one, and stand on my feet the entire time required. I liked the job. I ended up having to have a operation. It wasn't very serious, but it took the pain out of my side, and now I'm ready to work again. I no longer hurt. This took place in 2016.

When I started here I was hired in the office in an administrative role screening applicants and filling positions/matching them for positions with available jobs opened with outside companies. When I finished college they gave me a sales position where I called on companies, a lot of industrial companies, and I sold our staffing services to these companies. My direct management was extremely hands on always wanting me to succeed. It was great to be able to think outside the box and call on many different types of businesses. At the time, even after gaining new clients, it was hard to find people to go to work. Many times, I was called in from sales to fill the orders.

The typical work day going to work getting there 30 minutes early to get set up so I can be ready for my clients and prepared to start on time. I have to get my computer ready, my printer on and the fax up and running. I would prepare to pull all files needed for the day and have access to the file rooom to pull additional files as need be. I have help right next door to me if I need her, and the specialist in the back offices if I need them. The hardest part of the day was just trying to get people to come in and do there family obligations. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help people truly in need.

Typical day working for Olsten Temp Staffing was completing special project that involved contact with administrative and management staffing at all levels within the agency duties. I learn to really enhance by administrative skills.  The workplace culture was a very slow pace work environment.  The hardest part of the job was that I was hired on temporary basis and the pay rate was not very good at the time.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the Olsten management always made the effort to keep me working at all times and the professionalism/commitment of the Olsten Temp. staff was awesome.

I would got to the site and they would explain what to do for the day.
I learned a lot of office skills other then from high school, to make the task easier for the day.
If I had a problem I could go to the manager and we would try to solve it.
coworkers were always trying to help in anyway
the hardest part was to try to keep up with them
I always felt like I was really learning something with ever assignment I had and that if it was to much for me to do then the company would fine me another assignment this was temporary work

Olsten Staffing is in charge of finding employment for people with no jobs. They will assign a Temp/Permanent position for you. Working thru a temp service nothing is guaranteed from day to day. They placed me with Volkswagen Group, I have been here for over a year now and they just don't have any job openings right now. I love my job and the people I work with on a daily basis. I come into work process Supplier Claims, and Supplier Disputes each day. I have learned a lot from a manufacture's point of view, with bad parts. The hardest part of the job is coming to work not knowing if you have a job from day to day.
