On-Campus Staffing Agency

Why do we need an On-Campus Staffing Agency?

Departments such as Event Services, Athletics, Campus Recreation, and Dining Services, have a distinct need for large numbers of employees, at sporadic times throughout the year. They often have difficulty staffing these positions, and find themselves looking at two options:

They can keep many students on staff whether they currently have work available or not.
They can recruit large numbers of students during busy times throughout the year.

Multiple discussions indicated that a staffing agency was needed on campus. The On-Campus Staffing Agency is housed in Career Services. Whether you need one student or 20, Career Services can help.

Benefits

More students are able to work on campus.
Your department gets the help they need.

Examples of when to use the staffing agency

You have a project that needs to be completed and you never have enough time to finish it.
You have a big event coming up and need more employees than usual.
Your student can’t come to work (i.e., sick or family emergency) and you need someone to cover their shift for the day, the week, or longer.
Anytime you need additional people.

Process

Fill out the “Student Employee Request Form”.
Cheryl Brandt (Career Services Employer Specialist) will contact you to confirm details.
Cheryl contacts the student employees and makes arrangements.
The student employees show up at your worksite and do a fabulous job.
You submit hours for the student employees to Cheryl.
- Please include: Student Name, D#, hours worked. (Example)

Cheryl will fill out an internal billing and send it to you.

Cost to your department

The cost of hiring the students will come out of your budget.
Initially, the student is paid from a Career Services budget. Following the employment, an interdepartmental transfer will be initiated from Career Services to your department.
Students must be paid at a rate of $12 per hour.
Departments will receive a 25% markup for utilizing the staffing agency.
- Reference Point: Industry staffing agencies vary from 35% to 100% based on a variety of factors. Kelly Services, a well-known staffing agency in St. George, averages a markup of 40%.
