Working With Mayfair

Our Placement Process

From your application through placement, we coordinate each stage of the referral process between you and the client.

Introducing You to Clients ⌄
After collecting and reviewing the job-related information you provide, we may consider you for positions based on the type of work you are seeking, your experience, availability, and preferences. We may introduce you to clients whose requirements appear to be a possible match. Each client reviews your information and decides whom to interview and hire.
Scheduling Interviews ⌄
Once a client agrees to interview you, we coordinate the interview time and details. During the interview process, please direct any questions or changes involving pay, schedule, duties, start date, or other job terms through Mayfair rather than arranging them privately with the client. After the interview, we communicate with you and the client regarding the next steps.
Coordinating Trial Period ⌄
After the interview, if the client decides to move forward, we coordinate the trial schedule and details. Trial pay is paid directly to you by the client. During the trial, please continue to direct any questions or changes involving the position through Mayfair.
Deciding to Move Forward ⌄
At the end of the trial, both you and the client let us know if you would like to move forward. If you both decide to proceed, you continue into the regular position based on the arrangements you and the client agree to. Your employment is directly with the client who hires you. Mayfair provides referral and placement services and is not your employer.
Providing Ongoing Support ⌄
After you start, you are welcome to contact us with questions related to your placement. For routine day-to-day matters, we encourage you to speak directly with your employer. For more significant placement-related concerns, such as substantial changes to your duties, schedule, or other agreed job terms, please contact us so we can help facilitate communication between you and the client.
