Manufacturing & industrial staffing

A line running short is output you never get back.

Being fully staffed is what hitting your production numbers actually depends on. Whether you need one machinist or hundreds of assemblers, we staff the floor to the headcount the schedule was built on.

What short staffing costs

A production schedule assumes a headcount. Miss the headcount and you are not running slower, you are running behind.

Overtime absorbs the first week. Quality slips in the second. By the third your experienced operators are covering gaps instead of doing the work you hired them for, and your best people start looking elsewhere.

We staff the whole floor, from general labor through skilled trades, and we hold the account after the placement so a crew that started at thirty does not quietly become twenty two.

Roles we fill

General labor through skilled trades.

Every position on the floor, screened against the certifications and equipment your operation actually runs.

The inverted recruiting model

We start at your floor, not our database.

Most agencies push whoever is on their bench toward whoever is hiring. We run it the other way around.

STEP 01

Walk the floor

We learn the equipment, the shift pattern, the certifications required and the physical demands, then mirror your existing screening standard rather than replacing it.

STEP 02

Recruit to that

Sourcing runs against the profile from the floor visit, not against whoever happens to be available. Candidates are screened, background checked and drug tested before you see them.

STEP 03

Place and verify

You interview only candidates who already cleared the bar. Start temporary, move to temp-to-staff, or hire direct with our guarantee behind it.

STEP 04

Hold the headcount

We stay on the account through the run and backfill attrition as it happens, so your scheduled headcount is the headcount that shows up.

Risk and cost

Industrial work carries exposure. We carry it.

On a production floor the surrounding cost of an employee is not a footnote. Temporary and temp-to-staff workers sit on our payroll, under our coverage.

How to bring them on

Three ways to staff a run.

Option 01

Temporary

Cover peak runs, seasonal volume, a large order or a short project without adding permanent payroll. Workers stay on our books for the duration.

Option 02

Temp-to-Staff

Put someone on the line and watch them work before you commit. You see attendance, safety habits and output in your own environment, then hire with confidence.

Option 03

Direct Hire

For skilled trades and supervisory roles. Full recruiting, thorough screening, skill testing and reference checks, with follow-up service through our guarantee date.
