QUESTION 14 OF 35

If a temporary employee let you down regularly, what would you do?

Temporary employment can be a challenge to navigate, especially in industries such as warehousing and logistics. These challenges come because:

- Candidate volume and placements are high
- Wages are average but competitive
- Hours can be sporadic
- Client communication is often lacking due to shift work

If a candidate lets you down regularly by being late, no-showing to their assignment, or failing assessments such as forklift driving skills, consider what you would do. Show the interviewer that you have patience, are empathetic but firm at the same time.

"At the end of the day, it's my client who needs to be happy with the temporary employees that I provide them. If I had a temp who was continually failing to meet expectations, I would have to let them go. Anytime we drop the ball, it can negatively impact my clients' bottom line, which is never a positive situation. On any offense, such as being late or not showing up, I will call the temp employee and find out what happened. I ask for open lines of communication, and if we continually miss the mark on expectations, then I need to move on and put my energy elsewhere."
