Answers
Where and how long are your assignments? (Top)
Platinum Select is a nationwide staffing agency with contracted
hospitals stretching from Hawaii to Florida. Notify your recruiter
of your preferred area, and he/she will do their best to place
you. Our contract assignments vary in length - from one week
to one year. Simply let your recruiter know the length of
a contract you prefer.
Do you provide permanent placements? (Top)
Yes. Please contact your recruiter for further assistance.
If I signed a contract with your agency would I be considered a
1099 independent contractor or a W2 employee? (Top)
You are considered a W2 employee with Platinum Select.
Do you have direct deposit, and if so, how soon can I get it set up? (Top)
Checks may be sent by regular mail, Fed Ex or direct deposit.
Mail us a completed direct deposit form and a voided check
before the first day of your assignment. We then can have
you set up on direct deposit in time for your first check.
Can you keep me working continuously? (Top)
This will depend on your flexibility. For the most part, we
can keep you working for an indefinite amount of time if you
are flexible on location and shift. However, if you are specific
about working only certain shifts or regions, this may limit
your possibilities.
What if I get to the assignment and I don't like it? (Top)
We will work hard to find a solution for any problem that
arises. From lodging to management problems, we will do everything
we can to make the situation better for you.
How will I know if my lodging is safe and up to my liking? (Top)
We contract with specific hotel chains in each area of the
country. Before placing you in any corporate housing / apartments,
we always offer to let you stay at one of the local hotel
chains, giving you a chance to see the facilities. Some areas
do not have corporate housing, so we will always try to place
you in a safe, extended-stay hotel (one that has been researched
before you are sent to an assignment). If for any reason you
are not satisfied with your lodging, just let us know. We
will be happy to find something else in the area for you.
How long are your assignments? (Top)
Assignments vary in length. We try to be as flexible and accommodating
with your schedule as possible. Typically, assignments last
between 4-13 weeks in length.
How often do you pay? (Top)
Our pay periods run Monday through Sunday and our payroll
goes out weekly. We offer direct deposit and express mail
services.
Can I reach my recruiter at any time if I have an emergency? (Top)
During normal business hours, you will be able to speak directly
with your recruiter. Should your recruiter not be available,
someone will attempt to assist you before offering your recruiter's
voicemail. If you call after hours and it is an emergency,
an on-call recruiter will assist you.
Can you provide me with Continuing Education Resources?(Top)
