At Milliner Talent Solutions, we know that the key to a successful placement isn’t just about checking boxes on a resume or job description, it’s about the right fit on both sides of the table.
That’s why we take a unique approach to screening: we don’t just screen candidates for our clients, we screen clients for our candidates, too.
What Makes a “Good Employee”?
To us, a great employee brings more than just experience. We look for:
- Transparency – Are they honest about their goals, strengths, and areas of growth? A true partnership is based on transparency. Open lines of communication allow us to have real conversations to work toward a common goal.
- Trust – Can they be counted on to represent themselves, and us, with integrity? With trust comes strong relationships. Milliner trusts that employees will be honest on their interest level and fit of the job and employees can trust that Milliner is steering them in the right direction.
- Reliability – Do they consistently show up and follow through? Often in the temporary world, reliability is the best ability. When there are urgent projects, a reliable employee becomes a star.
- Dedication – Are they committed to doing their best, even in short-term roles? A dedicated employee shows up consistently, takes ownership of their work, and puts in the effort to do it well. They’re committed not just to completing tasks, but to contributing to the success of the team and company.
Our screening process goes beyond resumes and references. We talk to candidates about their long-term goals, preferred work styles, and the kind of culture where they thrive. This helps us match them with companies where they can succeed—not just fill a seat.
What Makes a “Good Employer”?
The best workplaces don’t just hire talent—they invest in it. That’s why we also evaluate:
- Clear Expectations – is the hiring need clear? Do hiring managers know what they need and what succeeds in that seat? Before any recruiting calls are made, level setting clear expectations is extremely important.
- Communication– Are they willing to communicate the good, bad and ugly? A strong partner isn’t afraid to hide anything and trusts that a strong line of communication will only strengthen a partnership.
- Culture/Support – Are temporary and contract workers treated with respect? Are our employees supported and equipped with the skills to succeed?
- Opportunity – Whether it’s leading to a permanent opportunity, or allowing for employees to develop new skillsets, are they providing positive opportunity for our people?
Candidates trust us with their careers, and we take that seriously. If an employer isn’t aligned with how we do business—respectfully, ethically, and professionally—we won’t move forward.
Why It Matters
By screening both sides, we’re not just matching job titles, we’re matching people and potential. Our clients get reliable, capable professionals who want to be there. Our candidates get placed in environments where they can contribute and be treated with respect.
That’s what makes the Milliner approach different and why we’ve built lasting partnerships with both companies and professionals across Central Indiana.
