I have no information on Maxim Staffing or Intelistaff Staffing. I can give you some helful questions to ask to see which one can fit your needs best. Here is some questions that you may want to ask each potential employer: flexibility - give an example of flexible hours presently available. What are some of the short- or long-term assignments available, where some of the different locations that they have open contracts with, if you can turn down assignments that do not appeal to you without penalties, ask about if they currently have employers that may offer you a full-time position if they are pleased with your work. Ask about how to qualify for health insurance. Ask about their policy on paid vacation or holiday pay, if you are actively assigned to a client. Ask about sick time, calling in sick policy. Finally ask about the starting pay, post probation/indoctrination pay and pay increases. Also ask if they participate in any educational programs. Then compare them side by side and take the one who fits your needs best. Good luck.
