  • What determines if I get assigned to a job through Express?

    One of our client companies sends us a job request. We match the best applicants for the job requirements. When you’re a match and the client company agree, we’ll call to see if you’re available to work. If you accept the assignment, we’ll provide you with all the information you need. Once you complete the job assignment, contact your Express office to be placed back on our list of available workers to be considered for future assignments.

    Flexibility is an Express advantage. Once you accept an assignment though, we depend on you to complete it.

  • How long are the job assignments?

    Some assignments can even develop into a full-time position. We will tell you the assignment's approximate length before you accept it to ensure your availability matches the job requirements.

    While we can’t guarantee a specific number of hours, Express Associates average 37 hours per week. All job markets vary, and the number of hours will vary based on a client company’s needs. However, one of the benefits of working with a staffing firm is that you have more control to tailor how you work to your lifestyle.

    It depends on a variety of factors, including your availability, how often you’d like to work, how in-demand your skills are, and if we have jobs available for your skill set. Visit our Career Development section for resources to help make your skills more marketable.
