Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

50 WPM with high accuracy is a reasonable baseline for most data entry roles. High-volume environments may require 65 to 80 WPM. More important than raw speed is accuracy rate. A 98-plus percent accuracy rate at 55 WPM is more valuable than 80 WPM at 90 percent accuracy in most accounting contexts.

For ongoing operational needs, AP invoice processing, customer record maintenance, inventory updates, a permanent hire provides consistency and institutional knowledge. For seasonal peaks or project-based backlogs, temporary staffing is more cost-effective. Recruiting Connection can place both.

Microsoft Excel is essential for any data entry role. Your specific ERP or accounting software, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, is the primary operational tool. Candidates who can navigate new software quickly are more valuable than those who know only one specific platform.

With Recruiting Connection, expect a shortlist in 1 to 2 weeks. The pool is large but quality varies. We screen for typing accuracy, software proficiency, and reliability before presenting any candidate.
