Mission

• Emphasizes social impact alongside excellent staffing service.

Philosophy

• Prioritizes effective communication and excellent customer service.
• Acknowledges there are many variables in staffing and aims to do things right the first time.

Staying active and in touch

• Job seekers should stay in touch with their Recruiter about availability and career goals.
• To stay active and looking for work, you must call in your availability to the front desk at least twice a week, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Part-time work

• DPI Staffing receives very few long-term, part-time assignments.
• Some short-term assignments may be 8 hours in a day but not necessarily 40 hours in a week.

Pay and workweek

• Workweek for timesheets: Monday through Sunday.
• Pay frequency: weekly.
• For the workweek ending Sunday, you are paid the following Friday.
• Timesheets are due Monday by 1 p.m.
• Direct deposit and paycards are available and encouraged.

Other common questions

• You may also sign up with other staffing agencies.
• If a client wants to hire you permanently from a temporary role, they contact DPI Staffing, and DPI will confirm your interest.
• DPI Staffing does offer personal time off (PTO); details are available from your Recruiter.

For questions not covered here, job seekers should contact DPI Staffing directly using the published contact details.
