What kind of skills and demonstrated experience do you need to be considered for TES?
Clerical and Administrative Positions
The greatest percentage of our jobs are in the administrative and clerical field where we need individuals who have a minimum of 3-5 years demonstrated experience working in an office setting. Successful applicants have the expertise to perform general office tasks, be proficient with Microsoft Office Suite, and possess the ability to handle multi-tasking with ease.
When an application is received in our office, we review the employment history to make sure the applicant has both the skills and experience necessary to be a successful TES employee. If the application demonstrates and meets TES' requirements, the applicant is invited for an interview. Once the interview is completed, reference checks will be conducted. All prospective TES hires undergo a background check. Some Positions on the Davis Campus and all positions located at the UC Davis Health require both a background check and a pre-placement medical evaluation.
Final determinations for hire are made based on the steps already completed and the availability of an assignment. The actual hiring and placement in a position can be anywhere from one week to several months depending on the need. Clerical and Administrative candidates are expected to be flexible when accepting assignments as TES does not control the classification, duration or location of assignments.

Qualifications required for Computer and Programmer assignments will vary depending on the role however successful candidates should have a recent, relevant work experience and/or a combination of relevant education and work experience.
