Due to EEOC guidelines ALL applicants are required to follow the same steps in completing the paperwork to get on the active applicant roster. We ask each applicant to fill out the application in our office. This gives us a chance to answer and questions an applicant might have and it gives the staff an opportunity to get to know each person a little better.

TOSS checks references on all applicants and TOSS will not place an applicant prior to verifying references. Each applicant is asked to complete two (2) reference check forms to be sent to former employers and a written release for phone/fax verification or references. In addition to former employers, TOSS requests three (3) personal references which are not related to the applicant. If TOSS can't verify the information on your application - it will slow down your placement and in some cases disqualify you for employment with TOSS.

We give every applicant a 12 minute pencil and paper test. This test is not a pass/fail test. It is a predictor of an appliant's ability to follow directions and ability to solve problems. If you have special needs or would like to take the test in Spanish, please let us know. The personnel test comes in several forms to meet ADA requirements and is validated annually to ensure fairness.

Each applicant is interviewed to find out their specific needs and skills. The interview is information oriented and all responses/information will be recorded in the applicant database. Applicants are expected to show up for the interview dressed appropriately. No shows and/or late arrivals for interviews will be documented.

The I-9 form is required by federal law to prove eligibility to work in the U.S. We will ask you to complete the I-9 form following the interview and after you have agreed to be placed on the applicant roster.
