hello there contract staffing employers!
We thought we would start by offering our contract staffing employers a promise…
Our promise to all our clients is unusual in our industry, however, it’s the only way we do business. This promise is just one example of our client-centric focus here at PeopleSolutions.
If, during the first five days of a staff augmentation assignment, our employee’s performance is deemed to be unacceptable, our employee will be removed and invoicing relative to the non-performance period will be canceled. We will absorb the cost of the contract employee payroll and expenses for that period of time.
advantages to working with us
PeopleSolutions is classified as a Certified Small Business. The benefit to our clients, who are supporting SWAM business requirements, is that every dollar spent with PeopleSolutions counts towards your small business goals.
If you are supporting a project that includes small business requirements you may normally have to sub a portion of your project out to a certified small business, which cuts into your budget and complicates your project.By using contract staff through PeopleSolutions you can bring on the staff you need under your own direct management, while meeting your small business requirement for the project.

hear from the employers we have worked with
“Quite rare these days to come across such a genuine personality coupled with a great professional etiquette in one person; Alan is such! My industry, like many others, is very competitive in that Head Hunters, Recruiting and Placement agencies and the like, can at times approach one with a demeanor fit for a used car salesman. I have to say for anyone attempting to further their career aspirations, Alan’s approach is a clear and refreshing departure from what you may be used to. Our latest dealings have cemented my belief that Alan is the consummate professional and I look forward to a lasting business relationship.”
Low Voltage / Electronic Security Professional
“To the company’s looking to hire qualified candidates who have been thoroughly vetted and come prepared, I recommend the services of Alan Chamberlin of The Richmond Group. As a fast-growth international technology company in the security space, we have many strategic partners and customers with whom we do business; distributors, integrators, consultants, manufacturers and Fortune 1000 customers. It is imperative for us to maintain our growth goals, that our corporate sales leaders possess a unique set of both management and entrepreneurial skills. Often times, our searches require that Alan seek candidates from business and industries outside the security space. Recently, we had a need to fill a very important leadership position in a very strong USA region. Alan found an individual with experience, talent and success in another discipline.”
BioTech Professional
“We used Pete to help us with several new hires. He was able to get us competent applicants with a electrical controls maintenance background. Our internal HR dept couldn’t find applicants with relevant experience. Their pricing and terms were competitive. They went above and beyond helping us with administrative bottlenecks. Overall a great experience. 5 stars.”
Maintenance Company Professional
“Our company has been searching for a strong Piping Deigner to join our engineering team. PeopleSolutions provided the best candidates by far. We have been working with several other recruiters and not getting the techincal talent we need. We have now hired the Piping Designer from PeopleSolutions! We are so impressed with the other candidates, that we are in the process of adding an additional position, and moving forward to hire another person from those presented to us.”
