- FAQ: Candidates
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a referral agency do for job seekers?
When you apply to one of our roles, our placement team reviews your experience and qualifications to see if you’re a strong match. If you register as a candidate, we’ll get to know you more personally and reach out whenever we post a role that aligns with your background. We also provide interview prep, resume guidance, and support throughout the hiring process to help you put your best foot forward.
At Old State Staffing, we see our candidates as individuals—not just resumes. If you’re placed in one of our roles, we’ll be by your side to make sure you’re set up for long-term success.
Do I need to register as a candidate to be considered for a job?
You’re welcome to apply to individual roles, but registering as a candidate gives you the best chance of being matched to a wide range of opportunities. Registration is easy—we just need a few basic details and your current resume. Once you’re in our system, we can reach out directly whenever a new role opens that matches your profile.
Does it cost anything to work with Old State Staffing?
No. Our services are completely free for candidates. We never charge job seekers to apply or be placed in a role. Clients pay a placement fee that covers the cost of search, screening, and support.
Where are Old State Staffing's jobs located?
Our main offices are in North Bethesda, MD and many of our jobs are based in the Greater Washington Region. However, we handle placements throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, and support clients with secondary or seasonal homes nationwide.
How long does it take to find a job?
That depends on your experience, location, references, and the types of roles you’re interested in. Some candidates are hired within a week, while others may take several months or more. Being flexible about things like location or schedule can help speed up your search.
I’m interested in one of your roles but have limited professional experience. Can I still apply?
Yes. While most of our clients prefer candidates with a few years of experience, there are exceptions. Some clients request recent college graduates, or candidates who are early in their careers but bring a strong work ethic and flexible availability.
If you’re not sure whether you qualify for a specific role, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help clarify.
What does the application process look like?
We’ve kept our process simple. To apply, we only ask for basic personal info and your current resume. If your background aligns with an open role, we’ll reach out to schedule a time to learn more about you and collect additional details as needed.
If you’re applying for a specific job, submit your resume directly through the job posting on our job board. If you’re interested in multiple positions, register as a candidate to be considered for all current and future roles.
What is your interview process like?
If you’re a potential match for one of our roles, we’ll invite you for a video or in-person interview (usually 45 minutes). Depending on the role, a second interview may be requested.
Employer interviews typically last 30–60 minutes, but format varies. We’ll give you all the details ahead of time, along with interview prep and support.
Who pays my salary? Am I an employee of Old State Staffing?
No. Old State Staffing is a referral agency that guides clients through the hiring process and supports candidates as they apply to and accept a role. Once an employee has been offered a position with an employer, you are considered an employee of the family/employer who hired you. As such, your salary, benefits, and employment terms are managed by the employer directly.
What are the typical workdays or hours for your roles?
Schedules vary—some employers need help during business hours, while others may require evenings, weekends, or travel. These expectations are always discussed in advance and described in detail in your Employment Agreement.
How is my personal information handled during the hiring process?
Your personal information is kept confidential and never shared with clients without your consent. All candidate data is stored securely in our internal database, and our team is bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
We also work with a digital security firm to ensure our systems exceed industry standards for privacy and data protection.
What information is shared with an employer if I’m submitted to a role?
When we present you to a client, we’ll share your basic personal information and resume, as well as our feedback based on our interaction with you. If the client decides to move forward, we’ll request your consent to run a background check as part of our standard screening process.
