01
How quickly can Raya Workforce fill a role?
Process
Most employers receive a qualified shortlist within 48 hours of submitting a request. For specialized or senior positions, it may take 3–5 business days depending on location, certifications required, and market availability. For urgent or large-volume needs, we mobilize our talent network immediately and prioritize your search.
02
What industries does Raya Workforce staff?
General
Raya Workforce staffs all non-IT industries across USA, Canada, and India. Our core sectors include Construction & Facilities, Oil, Gas & Energy, Manufacturing & Production, Healthcare & Medical, Transportation & Logistics, Warehousing & Distribution, Hospitality & Tourism, and Supply Chain & Procurement — among many others. If your industry isn’t listed, contact us — we likely cover it.
03
What types of staffing does Raya Workforce offer?
Service
We offer four main staffing models:
• Temporary staffing — short-term or project-based workers deployed quickly
• Contract staffing — specialist roles for a defined term (3–12+ months)
• Temp-to-Permanent — trial candidates before making a full-time commitment
• Direct / Permanent hire — full recruitment for permanent full-time roles
We tailor the model to your specific business needs, budget, and timeline.
04
Is there a cost to request talent from Raya Workforce?
Cost
Submitting a talent request is free and carries no obligation. Our fees apply when a placement is made and vary depending on the staffing model — hourly rates (inclusive of our margin) for temp and contract placements, and a one-time placement fee for permanent hires. We are transparent about pricing upfront with no hidden charges. Contact us for a tailored quote.
05
Does Raya Workforce handle background checks and screening?
Process
Yes. Every candidate goes through our pre-screening process before being presented to you. This includes skills verification, employment history verification, reference checks, and background screening. For regulated industries like healthcare and oil & gas, we also verify all certifications and licences — including expiry dates — before any candidate is presented to you. You only meet pre-qualified people.
06
Who handles payroll for temporary and contract workers?
Compliance
Raya Workforce handles all payroll, tax withholding, and HR compliance for temporary and contract workers. They remain employed by us for the duration of the assignment. You receive a single consolidated invoice — there is no additional HR or payroll burden on your team. This significantly reduces your administrative overhead.
07
What happens if a placed candidate doesn’t work out?
Service
We stand behind every placement. If a temporary or contract worker isn’t performing as expected, contact your account manager and we will arrange a replacement promptly at no additional cost. For permanent placements, we offer a replacement guarantee period — the specific terms are outlined in your service agreement. Your satisfaction is our priority.
08
Can Raya Workforce handle large-volume or project staffing?
Service
Yes. We regularly support large-scale hiring for construction projects, manufacturing ramp-ups, logistics center launches, and seasonal peaks that require 10 to 100+ workers. We deploy dedicated recruitment teams for high-volume mandates and scale our process to your project timeline and budget. Volume hiring is one of our strongest capabilities.
09
Does Raya Workforce hire across USA, Canada, and India?
General
Yes. Raya Workforce has active talent networks across the United States, Canada, and India. Whether you need to hire locally, across state or provincial borders, or internationally, we can support your workforce requirements in all three markets. We understand local employment laws, market rates, and certification requirements in each country.
10
How do I get started with Raya Workforce?
Process
The easiest way is to submit a Request Talent form on our website. Tell us the role, industry, location, and your timeline. A member of our team will reach out within the same business day to discuss your requirements and begin the sourcing process. Alternatively, call us directly or use the Contact page — we respond fast.
11
What certifications do you verify for trades and technical roles?
Process
We verify all role-specific certifications including OSHA 10/30, Red Seal endorsements, CDL licence classes, H2S Alive, CSTS, BOSIET, nursing licences and state/provincial registrations, forklift licences, food safety certifications, and any other industry-specific credentials required for the role. We check validity and expiry dates before presenting any candidate. You won’t receive a candidate with lapsed certifications.
12
Can I convert a temporary worker to a permanent employee?
Service
Yes — this is one of our most popular models. The temp-to-permanent arrangement lets you trial a worker on a temporary basis before converting them to a direct employee. This reduces hiring risk significantly. Conversion terms and any associated fees are outlined in your service agreement upfront, so there are no surprises.
13
Do you provide workers for remote or offshore locations?
Service
Yes. We have extensive experience staffing remote and offshore roles, particularly in the oil & gas, mining, and construction sectors. We verify that candidates have the necessary remote-site certifications, physical fitness requirements, and experience with fly-in/fly-out or rotation schedules before presenting them to you.
14
Is Raya Workforce compliant with employment law in all regions?
Compliance
Yes. Raya Workforce operates in full compliance with employment legislation in the USA, Canada, and India — including labour standards, workplace safety regulations, equal employment opportunity requirements, and data privacy laws. Our HR and legal teams monitor regulatory changes continuously to ensure ongoing compliance across all operating regions.
15
How does Raya Workforce source candidates?
Process
We maintain an active talent pool of 2M+ pre-registered candidates across all industries and regions we serve. Our sourcing methods include our own job board, direct outreach to passive candidates, industry-specific networks, referral programs, and partnerships with trade schools and certification bodies. We do not rely solely on job boards — our proactive talent pipeline means faster, better matches for you.
16
Can Raya Workforce staff multiple locations simultaneously?
Service
Yes. We regularly support multi-site employers across different cities, states, provinces, or countries simultaneously. A dedicated account manager coordinates all activity across your locations to ensure consistent quality, communication, and reporting. This is especially common for healthcare networks, construction firms, hospitality groups, and logistics operations.
17
What is the difference between contract and temporary staffing?
General
Temporary staffing is typically short-term and volume-focused — covering days to a few months, often for project surges, seasonal peaks, or workforce gaps. Contract staffing is usually for a defined term of 3–12 months or more, for specialist or technical roles tied to a specific project. Both models are managed through Raya Workforce, with us handling payroll and compliance. We can help you decide which model is right for your situation.
18
Do you offer staffing for senior and leadership roles?
Service
Yes. Our direct hire service covers all levels — from frontline workers through to senior management and executive roles. For leadership and specialist positions, we conduct a more in-depth search process including headhunting, competency-based screening, and cultural fit assessment before presenting a curated shortlist. We don’t just fill roles — we find the right fit.
19
Will I have a dedicated account manager?
Service
Yes. Every employer we work with is assigned a dedicated account manager who handles your account end-to-end. They learn your business, your team, your site requirements, and your hiring preferences so every subsequent placement gets faster and more accurate. There are no bots, no ticket queues — a real person who knows your account and responds promptly.
