How do I sign up to work for you?
You may click here to apply online or here to submit your resume. You may also apply through any of our ads posted on various job boards. If your experience matches our client opportunities, you will be contacted by a Recruiter (typically within 3 business days).
I have completed the online application, what is next?
Your information will be reviewed by our Recruiters and applicants, whose experience matches our current client needs, will be contacted. If your experience does not meet our current needs, it will be retained, and you may be contacted in the future when we do have an opportunity, which matches your experience.
What is the difference between temp and contract-to-hire?
Temp is short for temporary. This means that the assignment is scheduled to last for a limited period of time. Contract-to-hire means the client has expressed an interest in hiring someone permanently for a position, but it will begin as a temporary position. Think of contract-to-hire as a working interview. You get the chance to experience the position, environment, and corporate culture while the client experiences your skills, flexibility, and characteristics.
Do you hire recent graduates?
Some of our clients specifically seek recent graduates while others do not. We hire based on the current needs of our clients.
Who pays me: Lakeshore or the client company?
While on a temporary or contract-to-hire position, you are paid weekly by Lakeshore.
Do I have to pay a fee for your services?
No, Lakeshore does not charge fees to candidates.
l applied to one of your ads but have not heard back, how do I follow up?
If your skill set, experience and education meet the current needs of our client you will be contacted by a Recruiter (typically within 3 business days). Unfortunately, due to the high volume of resumes we receive, it is impossible for us to call back every applicant. If you see another job posted, that you are qualified for, please submit your resume to that job as well.
Do you provide insurance benefits?
Yes, a variety of benefits are available. You can view more details on our benefit offerings here.
What can I expect my salary to be?
Wages vary based on your previous experience, the clients pay structure, and market demand. Typically, while temping, you will make less than if you were hired permanently. However, this is not always true depending on the demand for your skill set in a given market.
I am relocating in a few months; can I interview with one location and have my file transferred?
Yes, you may interview, and possibly work in your current city, prior to relocating. Once you have moved, you will need to contact our local office and request your file be transferred. You will still need to have an in person meeting with the staff at our local office, so they can learn about you and your requirements before they assist you with your job search.
