Again, it is recommended that the employee communicate regularly with LeadingEdge Personnel and check-in once a week either via email or via phone.
Q: If I need to contact someone after LeadingEdge Personnel’s hours of operation, who do I call?

A: An employee may submit their time via the Employee Portal or fax (210-590-2964) or email (payroll@leadingedgepersonnel.com) their timecard to our payroll department. If using the Employee Portal, your supervisor must be set up to be a Time Approver. The available options are direct deposit or Global Cash Card. Should you choose direct deposit, upon receipt of approved time before 2:00pm, your money should be in your bank within 2 days (depending on your bank process). Should you choose Global Cash Card, your money is deposited on your card within 4 hours of receipt of your approved time.

Q: What happens if I do not show up to an assignment?
A: If an employee chooses to not show up to an assignment, they are subject to being deactivated, and are likely to not be contacted for any future employment opportunities.

Q: What happens if I am not happy with an assignment?
A: If an employee is not happy with an assignment for any reason or prefers to focus on different type of employment opportunities, please advise LeadingEdge Personnel; we will do our best to accommodate an employee’s request. A two day notice is required should you be leaving your assignment.

LeadingEdge Personnel Privacy Statement
January 1, 2009
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the Internet’s vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
LeadingEdge Personnel has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects information from all end users of our Internet services (the “Services”) those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts (“Visitors”) as well as those who may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service (“Customers”) what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Customers have concerning the collection and use of such information. We request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It Is Used:
Introduction. Our company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Customers who access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Products and Services, and generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.
Registration:
Customers may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products or Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Customers during the registration process is used to manage each Customer’s account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Customers provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Customers). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
LeadingEdge Personnel Partners and Sponsors:
Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and Customers in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Customers some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified before any such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to use that particular service or feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. LeadingEdge Personnel may share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personal information, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Shopping & Purchasing: At LeadingEdge Personnel, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog, email blasts or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and or credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient’s name, address, and phone number. Our company has no control over the third parties’ use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from our company we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
Online Advertisements:
LeadingEdge Personnel displays online advertisements in numerous print, banner, Internet and Online advertising media. In those cases we share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Customers collected through the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our company does not share personal information about its Visitors or Customers with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries:
When Visitors or Customers send email inquiries to our company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys:
LeadingEdge Personnel may periodically conduct business customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we may have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases:
It is our company’s policy not to use or share the personal information about Visitors or Customers in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Customers, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy other laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our policies; or to protect our company and our Customers.
LeadingEdge Personnel’s Commitment to Data Security:
Services and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, including secure webmail and domain protection services, there is no guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or other practices described herein, you may contact us through the contact information provided on this Web site.
Revisions to This Policy:
LeadingEdge Personnel reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this policy, our Terms Of Service agreement, and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner, by updating this posting.
Temporary Employee Performance Rewards Program
For our client companies, LeadingEdge is driven to motivate and reward our temporary employees for a job well done.
It’s really a simple concept… all the employee has to do to be entered into our rewards drawing is meet or exceed your expectations.
THE BENEFIT TO YOU, OUR CLIENT? Your temporary employee is motivated and happy to achieve the highest rating possible on their performance in your company every day. This builds higher value for the money you spend on temporary help.
HIRE EXPECTATIONS is what you can expect every time you call LeadingEdge!
Every business has a need for a temp once in a while. But, surprisingly, many companies do not have an ongoing relationship with a temp agency that knows enough about their business to provide appropriate temporary personnel on an as-needed basis.
Employees leave—temporarily or permanently. Business volume improves. A new project requires additional workforce or the reassignment of existing personnel. In all of these cases, LeadingEdge Personnel is the #1 source for temporary staffing in San Antonio and Austin.
Call to set up an appointment with one of our professional Staffing Coordinators in San Antonio or Austin. Use LeadingEdge Personnel just once, and you’ll wonder why you waited so long to establish a relationship with a quality temporary staffing service.
Our goal is to send you an employee you’d like to keep permanently every time. However, if the employee we send to you is not performing satisfactorily—for whatever reason—we’ll send you someone else promptly. Guaranteed. See details of our Risk-Free Satisfaction Guarantee here.
Temp-to-hire allows employers the opportunity to see exactly what the prospective employee can do in their work environment, the level of skills they display, and how they fit in with other staff members.
The temporary employee, similarly, has a unique opportunity to learn about the company first-hand. A person who accepts a position with a company that he or she has been a temporary employee for is more likely to be happy and remain with the company longer.
If you are interested in using our temp-to-hire services, let the Staffing Coordinator know when you make your staffing request. LeadingEdge Personnel will send you a candidate that is not only highly qualified, but also open to a full-time, long-term position. Hiring a new person is always an investment. Temp-to-hire helps you make a wise investment.
LeadingEdge Personnel is your human resource partner. Though we are known for the quality of our temporary staffing, we can also serve as an employment agency, providing companies in San Antonio and Austin with fully vetted candidates for many types of jobs.
Direct hire is often a good option. If the open position requires significant in-house training or a person with unique skills, it may be the best possible option.
Fortunately, LeadingEdge Personnel’s clients don’t need to engage another employment agency for direct hires. The knowledge of your business and your staffing needs that we use when delivering temporary staffing helps us identify the best possible candidates for your direct hires.
Having a strong relationship with LeadingEdge Personnel has proven to be an important element in the success of many businesses in San Antonio and Austin. Well-qualified, self-motivated personnel are, after all, at the heart of every successful business.
Contact us for assistance in identifying the most qualified employees for your company.
LeadingEdge Personnel has successfully matched the leading San Antonio and Austin employers with the most qualified clerical and office staff for more than 15 years. Our goal is to partner with clients and deliver the top talent needed for success in a competitive business environment.
Temps, temp-to-hire, and direct hire staffing are all available through the staffing services of LeadingEdge Personnel.
LeadingEdge Personnel was founded in 1995 by Kelly Hudson and Patty Yarbrough. Kelly brings 27 years of experience in the temporary staffing industry to the partnership, and Patty has worked in personnel and staffing for 23 years, following a successful career in the highly customer-focused hospitality industry.
Our Staffing Coordinators also are experienced professionals, many of whom have been with us for more than a decade. Their experience, combined with our thorough screening process, results in better employees for you.
LeadingEdge Personnel is the go-to staffing agency for many top Central Texas employers. We understand that the most critical element to any successful business is the human element. Our clients count on us for consistently reliable temps that are fully vetted and suited to both the job and the client company’s culture.
We staff for the best because we attract the best employees. We know where to find them and how to recruit them. Plus, we give them that extra respect and encouragement that highly qualified employees deserve.
If you need a new staffing partner, contact us or give us a call (210-590-0600 in San Antonio or 512-231-1888 in Austin) and allow one of our Staffing Coordinators to visit with you about your needs. If you believe you are the kind of talent we are looking for, complete a job application online here. If we can help you find employment, we will call you for an interview.
Staffing a doctor’s or health care facility’s office requires an understanding of the special needs of these employers. LeadingEdge Personnel has successfully provided medical staffing services for more than 15 years. We will send you temporary employees that have a professional demeanor, are sensitive to patients’ needs, and display an uncommon level of skill and energy.
Whether you need a temporary receptionist or insurance verification specialist or a full-time medical records clerk, LeadingEdge Personnel can send you dependable, tested talent. Many health care services in San Antonio and Austin use our Temp-to-Hire option to find employees that they know will perform well for years to come.
If an employee we send to you isn’t working out—for whatever reason—we’ll send you another immediately. Guaranteed. See our Risk-Free Satisfaction Guarantee here.
