I Have Applied To Open Positions Online, But I Haven’t Heard Back About My Application. When Can I Expect Someone To Reach Out To Me?
Please call the branch directly to speak with the Staffing Supervisor listed in the positions you applied for.
Do You Hold My First Check?
We do not hold your first paycheck, but because the pay cycle runs Monday through Sunday, it will take your first week to process, so you will not receive it until the following week.
Why Should I Work With A Staffing Agency To Find A Job?
Looking for work is not easy and can be a drain of time and energy. Staffing agencies (like L.K. Jordan) help job seekers get noticed and land positions that match their qualifications at companies that are hiring. We have access to positions that may be posted elsewhere and have direct contact with the hiring managers for those positions.
