The McCall talent bank has been three decades in the making. It has been created through a reliance upon personal referrals, employee retention, a sustained advertising presence, internet recruiting and strategic planning that anticipated the current tight labor market.
Our service "roots" were in staffing administrative and support-staff positions. However, the breadth of positions we have been called upon to fill has expanded as our former candidates progressed in their careers and made McCall part of their career ladder or a resource for filling positions in their new firms.
As a result, in addition to being ever ready to supply the executive assistants and other support personnel for which we've always been known, we've learned to be responsive and creative to meet changing service requests, staffing such diverse positions as a corporate chauffeur, a Consulate's housekeeper, HR managers, media coordinators, fundraisers, operations, marketing and financial executives. In fact, in a single month we were able to gear up to staff a call center requiring more than 100 CSR's. (Eventual accomplishments for this client exceeded 300 temp and temp-to-hire employees).

Quality Service
+ time in the marketplace
= repeat referral resources
Since our inception, personally referred candidates have been a recruitment strength and hallmark for McCall. The origins of our company was a 'coming together' of industry professionals who left competing staffing firms ...each with substantial "personal followings". As we hired new staff, we emphasized the importance of earning respect and loyalty so that candidates who were well treated would send in their friends.
To this day, the core of our success is our continued ability to build and retain a loyal following by 'treating people right'...listening carefully and personalizing our referrals.
Quality Service
+ time in the marketplace
= repeat referral resources
When a staffing firm must continually replenish the 'talent bank' on which they rely for contract and temporary assignments, it is usually at the expense of the service and benefits offered to clients and employees alike.
We invest the time and money saved through reduced turn over in better pay and benefits for employees who have already proven their abilities on assignment. Of the people currently on assignment through McCall:

McCall Staffing has always valued, respected, and celebrated our individual differences. Our candidates reflect our core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion and our commitment to supporting a diverse workforce.
Beyond our heavy reliance on an abundance of personal, candidate, and client referrals, McCall continues to build a talent database well in advance of labor shortfalls. We subscribe to professional resume banks such as LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, etc. for posting positions and sourcing candidates nationwide. McCall regularly updates these resources in keeping with the most current recruiting trends. In addition, we are invested in the leading Applicant Tracking System in our industry allowing us to be successful and swift in our placements especially for those urgent talent needs.
Outstanding service to candidates and Assignment Employees PLUS foresight in recruitment planning and careful cultivation of referrals and the loyalty of placed candidates has enabled McCall to remain a primary resource for employers seeking "just the right" person for every employment need.
