Understanding the Hiring Process with First Choice Staffing

Hiring the right people is one of the biggest challenges for businesses. From writing job descriptions to onboarding, the process can be overwhelming. That’s why so many Central New York businesses partner with First Choice Staffing—a family-owned, local agency that makes hiring faster, easier, and more personal.


Step 1: Job Analysis & Role Definition

We work closely with you to understand your company culture, team dynamics, and the qualifications you need. That ensures every candidate we recommend is the right fit from the start.

Step 2: Job Posting & Candidate Sourcing

Our team markets your role across job boards, social media, and our deep local candidate network. Because we’re rooted in Central New York, we can reach top talent that national firms can’t.

Step 3: Screening & Interviewing

We handle the legwork—applications, background checks, and skills assessments—so you only see qualified, ready-to-work candidates.

Step 4: Candidate Selection & Offer

Once you choose your preferred hire, we manage the job offer, negotiations, and paperwork to keep the process smooth and professional.

Step 5: Onboarding & Support

We can assist with onboarding, orientation, and compliance. And as a family-owned firm, we don’t disappear after placement—we follow up to ensure long-term success.


Why Work with First Choice Staffing?

As Central New York’s trusted local staffing agency, we bring more than expertise—we bring a personal touch. Our friendly, family-run team takes the guesswork out of hiring while helping businesses grow and job seekers succeed.

If you’re ready to simplify hiring, partner with First Choice Staffing. Your next great employee is closer than you think.
