Missouri Job Combine
About Us
The Missouri Job Combine (named after both the NFL skills combine and the farm harvester) is a project-oriented & multi-disciplinary rotational staffing service.
For example, an aspiring construction worker can start a Builders Tour with a basic carpentry job, and then proceed through plumbing, electrical, flatwork, and landscaping projects ...
Or someone new to an area can do a Variety Tour through a handful of companies on alternate days of the week ...
Or an enterprising young person with multiple interests can rotate through a Community Tour of neighborhood businesses (flower shops, pet stores, fitness centers) ...
We encourage good companies across the marketplace to participate, and invite anyone interested to register with our service. Then we meet up to learn about your interests, and coordinate planned rotations that work for everyone.
What makes us special?
We address latent stress points in the workplace.
For example, many jobs often become boring or mundane - a job rotation keeps it interesting.
Another stress point can be relationships at work, which can become strained for various reasons - our "managed rotations" offer a more desirable option than simply quitting or firing someone, while ensuring employment continuity for all parties.
This format allows employers to see how multiple employees work within their business model in a condensed time-frame, while also allowing employees to showcase their skill set to multiple employers (which provides multiple professional reference opportunities, instead of depending on a singular boss's performance review).
And sometimes companies just need to grow or downsize for short periods - the Job Combine provides a solution for each of these situations.
Pricing & Scheduling
How it works:
We encourage companies across the marketplace to consider our "dynamic staffing" model (rather than conventional "static staffing" roles), where instead of just getting one person for one job, the company gets multiple capable & engaged people for that job.
For example, let's say a role pays $20/hr (or $40,000 per year). In this case, for the Job Combine value-added "dynamic staffing" service, our fee is $8,000 per year per role - which becomes a $48,000 per year position (a 20% markup on a $40k/yr role). So the employer has to consider whether that's a good value for the rotational service (from which they can "cherry pick" their favorite folks with a "direct hire" offer at any time.)
Our workforce ("journeymen") are encouraged to register with us FOR FREE.
Participating companies are charged a 20% markup on each "dynamic" role (managed via rotation) - which we feel offsets other costs and stress points inherent to the "static" role.
Both companies and crew can freely schedule a rotation, while unscheduled "managed rotations" come with a pro-rated fee (paid by the requesting party).
