Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the benefit of direct hire vs. temp staffing? Direct hire means your worker is committed to your team from day one. It helps reduce turnover, improves loyalty, and ensures long-term crew stability. You also skip the added management of temp transitions and get straight to building a strong crew.
How long does it take to fill a direct hire role? It depends on the role and location, but we usually place candidates in 5–10 business days. Specialized trades may take a bit longer, but we keep things moving. We give regular updates so you’re never left guessing.
Do you offer placement guarantees? Yes. We stand by our hires. If someone doesn’t work out, we’ll replace them quickly based on the terms we agree on upfront. It’s part of our commitment to getting it right, not just getting it done.
Can I hire multiple tradespeople at once? Absolutely. We’re built for scale. Whether it’s five carpenters or 20 electricians, we can handle large volume hiring with tight timelines. Our recruiters coordinate everything so your job site stays on schedule.
