Denver Staffing Agency Recognizes the Importance of Employing a Legal Workforce
As a Denver staffing, recruiting and temporary agency, J. Kent Staffing recognizes the importance of employing a legal workforce. Although J. Kent has been judiciously verifying employment eligibility of its large temporary staff using the Form I-9 since 1986 (after the passage of the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986), effective February 17, 2012, we are augmenting our Form I-9 with the federal E-Verify program.

How do you bring real value to your hiring process and hiring decision? You know the resume but do you know the person? Although the candidate meets your qualifications, do you really know what they think, feel, what is important to them and how they will fit into your culture.
Each organization in Denver today is competing to attract top talent from local, national and international markets. The unemployment figures may be up but talent that presents as a “complete package” is still in short supply and does not stay on the market long.

Colorado’s current unemployment rate, 8.7% in July 2011, is certainly not a reflection of the real hiring that is going on in the private sector, which leads the way in new jobs creation, according to the last Job Situation Report. New job creation is our economy’s future, unemployment rates, a report on our economy’s past.

At J. Kent, we are seeing well run, highly respec …

"Building the Right Team" in 2011 - Part 1
An example of “How to Build the Right Team” for your company, occurred this year with one of J. Kent Staffing’s clients, a privately held insurance brokerage firm whose foundation spans more than 30 years in the Denver market.

“Today, out-selling the competition for “A” level performers is a core competency of business success. That’s not hyperbole; it’s reality. It is the only way we can win the War for the Best Talent, and our victory is the only way employers can win the War for a Big Bottom Line.” Peter Weddle.
