 Free
consulting, recruiting and placement services. By matching
reliable individuals and mobile
work crews with your specific staffing needs we
can help solve your entry-level staffing challenges quickly
and efficiently
What types
of jobs do we fill for local employers?
We fill all types of entry-level
jobs in a diverse range of industries, including: distribution
centers, manufacturing, hotels/motels, hospitals, nursing
homes, restaurants, retail stores, supermarkets, wholesale
clubs, warehouses, mailrooms and business offices.
What hiring
options do employers have?
You can hire a Lifeworks individual directly on your
payroll, or choose a “trial plan” before making
a permanent hiring decision.
We’ll simply bill you at the end of the month for
the work performed at a very competitive hourly rate.
We then pay the individual worker for the hours they
have worked, at minimum wage, and take care of all administrative
work involving taxes workmen’s comp insurance, etc.
for you.
You may cancel the agreement at any time or, hopefully,
convert from the trial plan to a direct hire any time
you choose.
Why are our
recruiting and staffing services offered at no charge to
employers?
We’re funded through the Department of Mental Retardation,
the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission as well as
private donations, so everything we do for you
is provided at no cost.
Our goal is to develop successful employment opportunities
for our clients and effective staffing solutions for local
employer partners.
The only payment you’re responsible for is to the
worker for the job they’ve done.
Do we place
long-term or temporary personnel?
We place individuals in permanent,
part-time positions as well as temporary and seasonal jobs.
What’s
in it for you, the employer?
You can save a lot of money on advertising, recruiting
and pre-screening costs by letting Lifeworks do all that
legwork for you.
You’ll be hiring people who are available immediately,
who want to work, and whose attendance and performance
will really impress you.
At the same time, you’ll be building community
and customer appreciation, workplace morale and earn valuable
tax credits ….clearly a “win-win” for
everyone!
What if you
need to sub-contract your work?
 Lifework
has two sites where we complete assembly jobs for many
companies who sub-contract their work to us.
References from long term employer partners are available
upon request.
We will be happy to provide rate quotes “by
the hour” or “by the piece”…whatever
works best for your business.
To make it as easy as possible for you, we will pick
up and deliver your materials at no cost.
