  2. Q. How do you determine how much you're going to charge my company per hour? How do you determine what you're going to pay the employee?
    A.Your bill rate is determined by typical salary ranges for the job, what our candidate is willing to work for, what the market dictates and whatever budgetary considerations you may have. Temporary employees' pay rate ranges are negotiated with them based on their abilities and market value of those abilities.

  3. Q. Why is there such a big difference in what the temporary employee is paid and what my company is billed?
    A.At first glance, the difference may seem large. But, as the employer of the temporary employee, we are responsible for all payroll taxes, including FICA and Medicare matching federal and state unemployment, workers’ compensation, liability insurance, HR and administrative costs and benefits for our employees.

  4. Q. Can I terminate our agreement or replace a candidate at any time?
    A.You can end the assignment at any time. However, please try to give a good time-frame estimate at the beginning of the assignment because temporary employees adjust their schedules to commit to your request. If the candidate is not working out for you, let us know and we'll work with you to solve the problem.

  5. Q. Do I sign a contract with LandaJob?
    A.You sign a weekly time card that states all LandaJob policies and serves as our agreement with you. You sign only for work already done.

  6. Q. How do you choose the candidates from your temporary roster for my job? Can I interview them and see portfolios?
    A.We have a rigorous screening/testing process and we match to your desired criteria and the candidates' availability. You can see resumes, do phone screening or interview in person. Portfolios will be provided to you upon request.

  7. Q. How much notice do I have to give you when I need your services?
    A.We'd love a week to two weeks' notice, but we can turn your request around in a day depending on your needs and who's available.

  8. Q. Since these folks are legally LandaJob employees, what does your company provide for them? Do they pay you for placing them?
    A.There is no fee to our candidates. We provide weekly pay, 401(k), paid holidays and vacation days.
    top

  9. Q.Are these freelancers or are they looking for a job?
    A.They are both. If you have a job that might require ongoing needs, we will try to make freelancers available to you. Either way, we'll make you aware of their status and the candidate will commit up-front to the time frame you've specified.
    top

  10. Q. What if the temporary employee finds a permanent job and has to leave the assignment with my company?
    A.If, for some reason, the temporary employee has to leave, we ask them for two weeks’ notice so that the transition is as seamless for you as possible. Our temporary employees rarely are unable to complete assignments that they've committed to.
    top

  11. Q. What if I want to hire this person to a permanent job later?
    A.We will assist both the temporary employee and you to bring about a mutually satisfactory arrangement. Our permanent placement fee will be discounted by the amount of time the employee has been with you. Our standard guarantee is 90 days from date of hire, contingent upon on-time payment in full. If we're notified that the hire is not satisfactory during the guarantee period, we will replace the person.

  12. Q. What about confidentiality? What about ownership of art/product?
    A.The temporary employee's agreement with LandaJob extensively covers all confidentiality issues, including ownership of work done. All materials produced by the temporary employee during their tenure with you are the sole property of your company.
    top

  13. Q. What info do you need from me for you to find the right potential temporary employee?
    A.Take time up-front to give the most information possible. That will help us make the best match. We need to know specifically what type of work they'll be doing, what software/hardware they'll use, what the environment is like and budget issues.
