Working Solutions

Professional Service…with a Personal Commitment

Today, the unemployment rate jumped to 14.7 percent, the worst since the Great Depression.  But the economy is reopening, jobs are coming back, and many people will undoubtedly be applying for the same position.  What can give you a step up?  Enlisting the services of Working Solutions.   Working Solutions is a staffing firm that offers flexible hiring arrangements from traditional temporary, temp to hire, and professional placement.  They work in many sectors including industrial, warehouse, and multiple office environments.

Working Solutions was founded in 2001.  They are locally owned and operated and take a fluid approach to designing staffing solutions that meet the needs of employers and employees. 

For businesses, one advantage of using a staffing service is that you have the opportunity to “try” the employee before taking on the liability for their employment.  This time period gives businesses the opportunity to quickly assess whether the employee is the right fit for their company.  Businesses also find that this gives them the opportunity to concentrate on running their company and generating revenue, rather than the time consuming process of sifting through resumes. 

 



 

For candidates, a flexible hiring arrangement allows the employee to evaluate the company/job first before making a long term commitment.  People who apply with staffing agencies want to work.  Many applicants find their careers in a "temp-to-hire" arrangement.  

Brad Bounds, President, says “We are definitely in a changing market, these days.  Working Solutions is in a unique position to match workers with employers in the most advantageous ways.  We have multiple locations throughout Mississippi and even in Memphis, TN, but our “headquarters” are still right here on Hwy 39.  We have been successful in our business because we have a passion for what we are doing.  That’s critical in any business.  You have to adjust to your clients/prospects needs and create equity through a partnership approach; working together.”

Brad continues, “The people in our community are great.  Whether meeting on a social or business level, it is easy to establish common ground with people.  It is critical for us to support the collective efforts of an organization like EMBDC.  Networking events where we have a platform to get to know other business owners and leaders in the community, are crucial.  Actually, EMBDC is the voice to the world about our community.  We strongly support their efforts to “sell” our community to our current businesses as well as prospects looking at our area.”

When the pandemic is over, finding and hiring the ideal job candidate is going to be most important.  A good staffing agency will have a large pool of qualified applicants.  They will help you hire highly-qualified candidates faster, and retain your new hires.
