Common Questions

Candidate FAQ

Straight answers for anyone looking at contract or temp work through Strata West Group.

What does it mean to be "on the bench" with a staffing agency?

It means you're part of our active candidate network, ready for the next assignment. Instead of restarting your job search every time a project ends, we bring new opportunities to you as they come up.

Is contract work through Strata West W-2 or 1099?

W-2. You're our employee for the length of the assignment, with payroll taxes handled and workers' compensation coverage — not left to fend for yourself as an independent contractor.

Can a temp-to-hire role convert to permanent?

Yes. Many of our contract placements convert to permanent positions once both you and the employer confirm it's the right fit.

Does it cost anything to work with Strata West Group?

No. Candidates never pay a placement fee — that's covered by the employer, only when a placement is successful.

What happens after I submit my profile?

We'll review your background and reach out when a role matches your experience — no need to check in. If nothing's an immediate fit, you'll stay in our network for future openings.
