A wide range of positions can be filled by our Full Suite Staffing Department. We primarily partner with real estate industry companies including commercial and residential property management, builders, and vendors/partners to the industry (from flooring manufacturers to marketing agencies).

An example of some of the positions we have filled over the past few months include: several Commercial Property Managers, Escrow Officers, Marketing Managers, Compliance Specialists, Assistant Warehouse Managers, Customer Care Representatives, Executive Assistants, Loan Verification Specialists, and more.

If you have an open position, JWS is here to help you fill it! 

Partnering with a staffing agency connects you to a wide range of quality candidates & saves you the time, money, and resources associated with on boarding and turnover. Studies have shown that 84% of new hires don’t live up to expectations. JWilliams Staffing’s recruiters have experience identifying red flags and company culture mismatches that reduce the likelihood of a bad hire. Additionally, if it turns out a candidate you hire through us is not the right fit within the first 60 days, we will replace them at no charge.

Full Suite, or Full Service, describes the breadth of JWilliams Staffing's services. While we provide new home builders and property management companies temporary coverage, we also provide direct hire, temp-to-hire, and temporary staff to any company in the real estate industry, whether they be a builder, community, or partner to the industry. 

Our team uses a wide range of sources to find top talent. Our strong reputation in the real estate industry often brings us referrals from clients and past placements and also attracts skilled job seekers straight to our website. We also partner with online job boards, resume databases, and advertising platforms to find both active and passive candidates, including Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Career Builder, ZipRecruiter, social media, Google Ads and more. 

First, call us at 949-398-0068. Our full suite team will ask you clarifying questions that help us get to know your company, the position we will be recruiting for, and your company culture. Next, we will begin our search!

The team will use various sources to recruit candidates. They will screen resumes, conduct pre-screen interviews, work with your schedule to set up interviews, and stay in constant communication to ensure they’re presenting what you are seeking in candidates. When the perfect fit is identified, our team will make a verbal offer to the candidate and coordinate all communication until the 1st day on the job. Even after the candidate is on the job, our team always stays in contact to ensure your continued satisfaction. 

No, absolutely not. We are a contingency firm so you will only pay a fee if you hire one of the candidates that we send to you. If you hire someone by your own means, there is never a charge. We are your partners in this search and simply want you to find the right fit for your company, however you find them.

We have partnered with many homebuilders throughout the years, having staffed for nearly every builder within the territories we service. You can view our partial client list to see just a sample of some of our builder clients.

JWilliams Staffing (Broker) does not allow any outside real estate activity requiring a license, as it is recognized as a conflict of interest while working at your sales offices.

Licensed Brokers do have more leeway, as they are self-governed when it comes to outside Real Estate activity; however, not while on-site at an assignment. We have a zero tolerance policy for any Brokers working with JWilliams Staffing who discuss their outside real estate activities, carry collateral materials, or solicit prospects while on assignment with any JWilliams Staffing client. This behavior would result in immediate termination.

Bill rates vary depending on regional location as well as candidate skill set and licensing requirements. We recommend speaking with your local JWS Regional Manager to get a more exact quote.

There is no buyout fee after a candidate has worked 500 hours. If you are eager to hire the candidate before they reach those hours, we recommend discussing buyout fee with your JWS Regional Manager as it can vary.

Over the past 16+ years, we have built a reputation for helping companies successfully hire the RIGHT person for the RIGHT job. Our unique pre-screening process and face-to-face interviews reveal much about a candidate's strengths and has earned JWS recruiters the reputation as the best in the industry. We'll provide you with professional and trained new home sales professionals who will lend valuable assistance, not just fill your empty chairs. Due to the high quality of our candidates, we have placed more candidates in full-time positions than all other real estate staffing agencies combined. Our commitment to you is satisfaction – guaranteed. 

Payrolling is an ideal service if you want to “try before you hire” and you have a candidate in mind. It allows you to have the candidate you selected work for you, on a trial basis, on our payroll. Provide us your candidate and we handle the rest; saving you time and money.

Once your recommended candidate is submitted to work for you (through our payroll), JWS will handle HR, onboarding, workers comp, liability, payroll taxes, EDD taxes, and everything that comes along with the hiring process. The candidate then can work as little or as much as needed to suit your work flow and budget requirements. If you decide to permanently hire the candidate, they can seamlessly transition on to your team at NO cost. Or, if you decide at any time that the candidate is not the best fit, just notify us to end their assignment and we will do so with no penalties. 

Yes, we have curated and do provide an online educational platform, www.RealEstateLearningNetwork.com for all of our New Home Sales Assistants so they feel confident going in to their first assignment. This online platform includes written lessons and videos that review basic job duties, essential tips, fair housing, helpful forms (to bring on site), and sales techniques. We test each candidate once they have completed the materials and they receive a Certification of Completion if they pass.

Additionally, we offer custom certification programs for our builder clients to have an elite group of candidates trained on their specific business model. While keeping your overhead low, certified candidates can be placed on long-term assignments and may be treated like a junior sales assistant, with a higher pay rate, to keep them motivated and rewarded.

As a staffing agency and career launch pad for many, JWilliams Staffing brings in candidates at all experience levels – including those who are brand new to the industry along with those who have several years of experience. Some of our candidates have been with us for a long time and have experience covering a variety of builders’ communities. If you have any special requests or requirements, JWS will happily accommodate these requests and find the candidate who is the perfect match for your community.

If you are the on-site contact, yes, the candidate will be provided your contact information in order to reach out the day before the assignment (unless you specify otherwise). This will allow you to communicate any special requirements and also allows the candidate to ask any questions that help them feel comfortable and ready for the next day, especially if they are working alone while you are off for the day.
