Answer: Your On Assignment recruiter will examine the criteria of the position you are looking for and present you with opportunities that match. When you are presented with an assignment it is up to you to choose whether the location, hours, position and pay will be a good fit for you. You are never obligated to accept an assignment.

Communication is key; the more your staffing consultant understands your needs, the better the chances of a Quality Assignment.
