ABOUT EQUISTAFF

Equistaff owner Mary K. Thomas moved to Ocala, Florida with the dream of becoming a barn manager. She quickly saw a need for all levels of barn staff and began utilizing her connections in the industry to match employers with employees. Her specialized equine staffing agency started on a shoestring budget in 1982 and is now a highly successful and diverse business; it was also the first equine staffing company in the United States. Www.Equistaff.com was launched in June of 2000 and won a technological innovation award the same year and the company was the Marion County Equine Business of the Year in 2007! Most recently Mary launched the redesign of the Equistaff website to better serve the equine community. She also owns a general staffing agency, Fasttrack Staffing Inc. and a multifaceted career and life coaching company, MKT Talent.

Retained Search and Placement...
Let Equistaff show you the way to utilize our expert staff as your extra HR hands.

As a retained staff member, we search, define, test, reference check and hire your employee for you exclusively. All you pay for is our time. It is as though you have a recruiter on staff, but do not have the annual burden of payroll and benefits. Use us as you need us!

Temporary Placement Service or Temporary to Hire (Selected State)
Chances are the work won't wait until you've found, interviewed, and hired the right employee. Our temporary will step right in and get the work done! Our interviewing, screening, and testing process take the guesswork out of selecting the right temporary for your situation. This service is available in Florida only. Sometimes, you find the right person for your opening is the temporary who has stepped in to cover the interim period from search to hire. Other times, you may have interviewed an employee who seems qualified, but you just aren't sure if they will mesh well with your workplace. In these cases, temporary to hire is a good option to utilize.

Equistaff now offers your business a time and money saving payroll service available in selected states only. Continue to receive our full range of services that you have come to trust and now put your payroll issues behind you. We will handle time sheets, taxes, workers compensation issues and unemployment claims management. Wouldn't it be nice to lose the headache and hassles of unemployment claims and payroll deadlines? Let us concentrate on the business of your employees so you can concentrate on maintaining a profitable bottom line!

We are able to utilize various resources beyond the standard background check to thoroughly investigate the background of an applicant on a national basis. This includes credit history, criminal background, pending civil litigation, validity of any licenses or credentials, and an incredibly thorough report detailing the experiences of all past employers (even those not listed on the application).

• Candidates name
• Address
• Social Security Number
• Date of Birth
• Specific names/number of the employment references
• Names of official licenses
• Previous address

We have a release form, which must be signed by the candidate before we can begin the background check.
