Human Resources has reviewed the current temporary staffing vendors to ensure the quality and competitiveness of their services and to evaluate alternatives. The following companies are now the preferred providers for all temporary staffing needs at Emory: Randstad Staffing Services, Georgia TEMP, TRC Staffing Services, Staffing Resources and Staffing Enterprises. These vendors will provide contracted/discounted rates, a standard liquidation policy for transition from temporary to regular status, and Emory-specific orientation for placement. Olsten and Norrell will no longer be providers of temporary staffing services at Emory. If you currently have temporary employees from these companies, they can complete their assignments, but no other temporary service should be contracted. Departments with temporary staffing needs should contact Donna Crabb at 404-727-7590. If you receive calls from other temporary services, please refer them to Del King, director of Employment Services. For more information call King at 404-727-7567.
