Candidate view

One temp worker for one week, and what a 3 percent rate cut does

The prompt

BrightShift Staffing (a fictional agency in Texas) places a warehouse worker with a client for a 40-hour week. It bills USD 30 an hour and pays the worker USD 20.50 an hour. Employer taxes, insurance and benefits add 18 percent to pay. Recruiters, the branch, sales and systems cost about 16 percent of revenue. What are the agency's gross profit, gross margin and operating profit for the week? The client then asks for a 3 percent lower bill rate. What is left?

Your interviewer will share data as you ask for it. Ask clarifying questions, state a hypothesis, then lay out your structure out loud before you calculate.
