Frequently Asked Questions

In anticipation of some of the questions you might have about working for Kelly Engineering Resources, here is a list of the most common ones we receive from employees and candidates. If you have specific questions or would like further information, contact your local Kelly Engineering Resources branch.

How soon can you identify opportunities and place me in a position?

We have many positions that are immediately available; however, it is not our goal simply to find a job for you, but to identify the right opportunity for you. That process might be immediate or it could take a while longer, but we want to make sure you're satisfied. A Kelly recruiter will spend time with you to gain a thorough understanding of your needs so we can match you with the technical position that best fits your skills, qualifications, and personal and professional goals.

Will someone remain in contact with me once I begin employment with Kelly?

Yes. You will have one or more contacts available to you for any questions you have about benefits, payroll, HR issues, skill development, career planning or day-to-day concerns that need to be addressed.

When can I expect my performance to be reviewed, and what is the criteria for evaluation?

Performance reviews are as important to us as they are to you. We want to be sure you and your manager understand each other's expectations and are satisfied with the quality of work. We maintain contact with you and your manager on a regular basis to handle immediate issues and conduct performance reviews.  Some of the attributes we evaluate are attendance, punctuality, work efficiency, attitude, qualifications and willingness to get the job done.

What if the job I get isn't right for me?

Kelly recruiters go through an extensive process to understand your career objectives before you are placed in a job. The goal of this process is to help ensure the best job placement for you. However, that's not to say that there won't be a rare occasion when the job just doesn't work out. In this case, your Kelly recruiter will work with you to find a job that better suits your needs. It is important that you communicate with your recruiter if you are considering a job move so we have ample time to notify your manager, as well as look for other opportunities for you.

How will Kelly Engineering Resources help me enhance my skills?

Skill development and enhancement are important aspects to consider when selecting an "employer of choice" to manage your professional career. Kelly Engineering Resources works in partnership with our customers to accommodate specific training that is necessary to meet the ever-changing technological requirements for your specific assignment and increase your value in that position.

What happens at the end of my assignment?

One of the objectives of the Kelly Engineering Resources career planning process is to assist you in determining your short- and long-term goals, and cooperatively identify new opportunities for you in the next phase of your career with Kelly. By understanding your career goals, your Kelly recruiter can continuously look for opportunities for you and help proactively plan for the next steps after your current assignment is completed.

Is there an opportunity for me to become a full-time employee?

While not all contract positions have the potential for full-time placement, nearly 40% of Kelly employees transition from temporary to full-time jobs each year. Our expert recruiters will help map a career plan that works for you..
