Charlotte is a market of about 870,000 people where finance and healthcare employers hire steadily. The people we place come from Charlotte and the towns around it, including Riverside and Hillcrest.

How hiring works in Charlotte
Every light industrial staffing placement in Charlotte starts the same way. We write down the real job: the tasks, the shift, the must-haves, and the pay range.
Then we pull from candidates we already know and screen them for work history, reliability, and the right credentials before you ever see a name. You interview the people you like, and we handle the offer, the paperwork, and onboarding.
Temporary, temp to hire, or direct hire
You can bring people on three ways in Charlotte. Temporary covers short term, seasonal, and surge needs, and we run payroll, taxes, and workers compensation while they are on assignment.
Temp to hire lets you try someone on the job before you commit, then convert them to your payroll. Direct hire adds them to your team from day one.
Most Charlotte employers use a mix across the year, and we help you pick the option that fits each role and your budget.
