What you can expect when you partner with The Choice as your recruitment agency:
Getting Started: Submit your resume.
Our general application and interest page will include an employment questionnaire, so that we can understand your experience, goals, and preferences. Candidates can also apply to a specific job listing on our job board.
Connect with a recruiter
A recruiter will reach out to discuss your job search if we have a position available that is a good fit or a likely fit in the future. Due to the volume of applications, we cannot respond to each application individually. We will keep your resume and questionnaire on file for future positions, if there is not a match presently.
It's time to make a match!
We look forward to having you meet our team. We are collaborative and conduct a virtual meet and greet with a few of our recruiters. This is to get to know you better, share our notes on a position, and answer any questions that you might have about next steps.
Once a match is made
We’ll send you any openings we think would be a great match for you and are ready to discuss the ones you’re most interested in. This will also help us further define what you’re looking for.
Connecting and supporting.
We’ll work hard to get you an interview with the opportunities you’re most interested in, prepping you for the conversations ahead. We’ll continue to guide you throughout each step of the interview and hiring process with our clients. We know interviews can be nerve-wracking, and we help you feel as best prepared as we can.

Other job seeker FAQs
Where should I submit my resume?
If you would like to be considered for multiple or future opportunities, we encourage you to fill out our general application.
If you are interested in only one specific job listing, you can apply for that position directly on our job board.
When will I hear back?
A recruiter will be in touch to discuss your application if there is a potential match. Due to high volume, we are unfortunately not able to respond individually to each individual application. All applications will remain under consideration in our database upon submission.
Could a temporary job turn into a permanent job?
Definitely! While it is not guaranteed, we have seen many of our temporary associates get hired in permanent positions. It is a great opportunity to show your professional strengths and get your foot in the door.
How quickly can I start if I am selected for a position?
Most of our temporary and temporary to hire roles start within a week or sooner.
How is The Choice different from other staffing agencies?
Our approach is highly personalized for every candidate. Candidates are not assigned to account managers, rather everyone is introduced to our collaborative recruiting team.
