Simply stated, the same components of the Shelter-in-Place order have been instituted in all four Barton Staffing Solutions offices.

Sanitation

We’ve increased already rigorous facility cleaning procedures. We’ve always had sanitizing wipes available for disinfecting workplace surfaces.  Hand sanitizer has also been available to employees and visitors to the office as a SOP.

Social Distancing

Social distancing is also the rule for all persons in the office.Office traffic has also been reduced and patterned in a number of ways.

Online and Remote Access

The majority of job applicants can and often do complete job applications online or from their mobile phones.  Screening and qualification interviews happen initially by phone, and finalized during assignment on-boarding.
