My name is Darbi. I currently work for a company called Paradigm Outsourcing Services in Spring, Texas. I've worked for two other agencies in the last couple of years (as a professional, I am aware this makes for a somewhat crappy resume!). The first, where I received the bulk of my staffing experience, was full-service - meaning we handled Admin/Clerical as well as Light Industrial staffing. The second primarily staffed for CDL drivers but was attempting to break into those other markets. They layed me off after 3 months, and before I could bring the booming full-service business into their office. Silly, silly corporations....
Prior to moving into the staffing industry I worked for 5 years at an oilfield product manufacturing facility. I started out as a general admin, quickly moved to an HR admin position, and eventually full-time as an HR support person. I mention this mostly because I like to point out that I once worked on the OTHER side of the desk. I was the haughty HR professional that was visited daily and weekly by multiple area agencies. I held the power (bwa-ha-ha!) and abused it accordingly. I can now run my business from the STAFFING end of things knowing how best to serve the STAFFED.
But enough about me...
Now to let you all know why I have decided to start up a blog about staffing. I feel that in the time that I have spent working both in HR and staffing I have accumulated a lot of knowlege on both ends. This is a way for me to be able to share that information with colleagues, clients, co-workers, and friends. My mom always wanted me to be a teacher. I always told her they didn't get paid well enough for the hours they worked (Mom is a teacher). So I guess this is a little way to pay homage to her and the calling she wished I had.
Through the postings on this blog, if any of you ever have any questions please leave a comment. I will try to address general comments and questions in a subsequent blog. Anything I feel should be handled more personally, I would love to meet up with you to speak on the matter more in depth.
More soon, and welcome to my little staffing blog on the web.
