Approach
The part after the handshake is the job.
Most staffing sites stop at the send-over. The account is won or lost in the first two weeks, in the pay accuracy, and in whether anyone answers the phone at 6:10 a.m.

Screening that matches the floor
A forklift certificate is looked at. A dispatcher is asked about a morning board, not about “communication skills.” An admin is asked to handle a bilingual call, not to list software.

Pay, breaks, and the wage order
Assignments follow the wage order for the city where the hours are worked. In 2026 the state floor is $16.90. The City of Los Angeles is $18.42 from July 1, and unincorporated Los Angeles County is $18.47. Overtime is time and a half after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12. A meal is due before the fifth hour. If Thrive is the employer of record, that payroll is ours to get right.

Work authorization before day one
Nobody starts if they cannot legally start. Documents are handled in the proper process, not collected for sport on a web form.
- 04
A restart, when it is ours
If a direct hire leaves or is let go for performance inside the window in the agreement, the search starts again. If the client changed the job, that is a different conversation, and we will say so.

One desk, not a maze
The person who took the brief knows the names. You do not re-explain the shift to a new account manager every Tuesday.
