Staffing Agency for Warehouse
Why Work with a Warehouse Staffing Agency?
Need to add to your industrial workforce? Whether you’re an employer or a job seeker, there are many benefits to working with a warehouse employment agency. We know how busy a warehouse is and how important it is to hire skilled, reliable warehouse workers who have the necessary training or the desire to learn to operate machinery, understand logistics, and adhere to safety guidelines in busy industrial environments. Considering the volume of staffing needs in warehouses, sourcing skilled laborers and operators can be a constant and costly process, taking valuable time away from your managers or HR staff. Working with a staffing agency puts a hiring professional on your team, giving you the full support of their expertise and easing the burden on you and your employees so you can get back to business faster. Staffing agencies are experts in the current labor market and are constantly finding new people, giving the client access to a larger pool of candidates. We have extensive experience sourcing and screening professionals to identify top workers-- it's what we do!
Our warehouse recruiters sift through large pools of resumes on multiple job boards to identify a short list of qualified warehouse workers who are a match for your company culture and job requirements. For temporary projects or contract-to-hire roles, redShift takes all employer responsibilities, including onboarding, payroll, taxes, insurance, etc. This allows our clients to easily and painlessly add to and reduce their warehouse workforce to meet fluctuating staffing needs.
If you're seeking work, recruiters can be a bridge connecting you with hard-to-reach local hiring managers. Our service is free for job seekers, so there's no risk, whether you're actively or passively looking. Put simply, we're one more person in your court during your employment search, but, unlike your friend who "might know someone," we have direct connections to active employers and decades of industry knowledge. Our success depends on your success!
Staffing Services
Permanent Placement/Direct Hire Jobs
Direct hire employees are employed by the hiring company. Industrial recruiters ease the traditional process by doing the legwork of sourcing talent and coordinating interviews and offer negotiations. All you have to do is choose the candidate that's right for your team!
Contract Jobs
Need some extra hands and reliable workers to handle a crucial project? Hiring contract warehouse workers saves time and money on HR functions and allows clients to easily add and cut staff as business needs require. For contractors, it's a great opportunity to gain warehousing experience with new equipment and tasks, building skills that will further your goals without making a firm commitment. Contract roles can even sometimes convert into permanent positions.
Temporary-to-Hire Jobs
Hiring the wrong candidate is costly, wasting time, money, and resources on someone who lacks the ability to be successful in the role or who quits after you've invested weeks of training in them. If you want to make sure a candidate will be a good fit before hiring, or if you are an employee wanting to try something new while keeping your options open, temp-to-hire may be the best route. These roles give both parties an opportunity to test the waters before making a commitment.
Temporary Jobs
Temporary roles are great options for organizations whose staffing needs vary regularly or for individuals looking to get started in a new industry or gain experience and business connections. Temporary employees are redShift employees, which means we handle everything from onboarding to payroll and taxes.
Executive Search
Staffing at the executive level can be a challenge. An executive search firm specializing in the warehouse industry can do the hard work for you. We find the best executives so you can focus on choosing the individual who will be the best fit for your team.
Remote Positions
Although less common in warehousing, remote work options are becoming more popular in many types of businesses, allowing professionals and organizations to expand their search beyond their local area.
Recruitment Process
Candidate Database & Other Resources
We source the top warehouse professionals from a large pool of local job seekers, creating a database of active and passive employment seekers interested in making a move in their careers. This allows our industrial recruiters to quickly identify and contact potential candidates to fill an open position.
Job Boards
In addition to our existing candidate database and connections, we also scour local and national job boards for warehouse professionals looking for new opportunities.
Phone Interviews and In-Person Interviews
All redShift candidates are interviewed by a trained recruiter over the phone, virtually, or in person. Recruiters are fully prepared to ask the right questions to understand a candidate's experience and career goals, identifying the best matches for open warehouse jobs.
Reference Checks
redShift checks professional references for all permanent and temporary roles. Understanding the prior work experience of potential employees is important to verify they possess the skills needed to succeed in their next position.
Hiring Process
Once clients are ready to make an offer, direct hire employees follow the onboarding procedures of the hiring company. redShift assists with offer negotiations for potential employees and can coordinate any other pre-employment paperwork requirements. Professionals working in temporary, contract, and temp-to-hire roles are redShift employees, which means we handle all aspects of employment, including coordinating start and end dates, taxes, workers' comp, insurance requirements, etc.
