TeleSearch Staffing Solutions

What TeleSearch Staffing Solutions does

TeleSearch Staffing Solutions is a privately held, founder-owned, full-service staffing firm incorporated and headquartered in Flanders, New Jersey, with branch offices in Freehold, Lakewood, Mountain Lakes, and Newton. Founded in 1991 by Polly McDonald, CPC, the firm serves client companies throughout New Jersey across four functional verticals — administrative/clerical, managerial/executive, technical, and light industrial — placing both temporary and permanent workers, and serving job seekers through in-branch consultation. The company is certified as a female-owned corporation by the State of New Jersey, maintains an Equal Opportunity Employer posture, and operates a flat management structure oriented around rapid response to client requirements.

The company's product portfolio centers on Temporary Staffing Services and Direct-Hire Placement Services, supported by ancillary offerings including outsourced Payroll Services, On-Site Management, Prove It Skills Assessment (over 1,200 validated tests), and Biometric Finger Print Time Clocks deployed at client sites to eliminate buddy-punching. The underlying technology backbone is the Avionte staffing software platform, which powers the employee-facing web portal (telesearch.myavionte.com/staff) for timesheet submission, supervisor approval workflows, and pay-stub access, alongside Rapid! Paycard for payroll disbursement. Same-day payroll processing is offered to clients whose verified hours are received by 10 a.m. Monday. No proprietary AI/ML capability is present; the stack is composed of conventional third-party staffing and HR technology.

TeleSearch generates revenue through managed-services fees on temporary placements (with all fees paid by client companies and none charged to workers), one-time direct-hire placement fees on permanent placements, and professional-services fees for payroll and on-site management engagements. Go-to-market is direct, relationship-driven, and hyper-local: five in-person branches, multi-chamber membership (Lakewood, Morris County, Mount Olive, Newton, Sussex County), and affiliations with the New Jersey Staffing Alliance and SHRM drive client acquisition, supplemented by a $100 employee referral bonus program and an SEO/website job-listing channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
