What we fix

Four staffing pains. Four answers.

The pain

Agencies that send ghosts.

Workers no-show, double-book, or drop after one day.

Our fix

Vetted for shift reliability.

Every candidate screened on attendance history before they hit your floor.

The pain

Nobody answers at 6 a.m.

First-shift goes light, agency voicemail picks up.

Our fix

Real humans, around the clock.

A live person on the line — not a bot, not a portal — at the hours your operation actually runs.

The pain

Temp-to-perm conversion is painful.

Hidden buyout fees, double-billing, surprise contracts.

Our fix

A clean conversion path.

Built-in temp-to-perm pricing, transparent terms, no buyout games.

The pain

Two-week turnover.

Bulk-screened candidates that look right on paper but never click on the floor.

Our fix

Match by fit, not keywords.

Founder-led recruiting that listens to your floor culture before sending anyone.

What you get

Five benefits to your operation — beyond the placement itself.

Administrative efficiency

We handle onboarding paperwork, I-9 verification, timecards, weekly payroll, multi-state tax filings, W-2s. Your supervisors run the floor — not the back office.

Liability mitigation

Placed workers are R2W's W-2 employees during the engagement — covered by our workers' comp, general liability, excess, cyber, and auto policies. Documented risk-shift for your procurement team.

Talent-pool access

15 staffing specialties on the active bench — from skilled trades to data analysts. Trade-specific channels and a referral network 20 years deep. See the full roster.

Permanent placement options

Every contract has a clean conversion path. Try-before-hire via Temp-to-Perm, or go straight permanent via Direct Hire. Transparent buyout schedules in writing on day one.

Workforce flexibility

Scale up for peak windows, scale down on slow weeks — without disturbing your permanent headcount. On-demand temp labor with a 24/7 line.

No bot, no portal jail. We answer when a shift is short.

Vetted, not bulk-screened

Reliability history reviewed. Certifications verified. Drug screened. We don't ship anyone we wouldn't.

Three service lines, one partner

Direct hire, temp-to-perm, on-demand temp labor — under one contract, one POC.

From single-shift fills to multi-state rollouts — same team, same standards everywhere.

Word from the floor

What plant managers say.

Filled twelve forklift roles in five days. Three of them are still with us a year later — that's the part nobody else delivers.

They actually answer the phone at 6 a.m. when a shift is a body short. That alone is worth the markup.

FAQ

The questions we get every week.

Don't see yours? Book a call.

How fast can you fill a role?

Most temp roles within 48–72 hours. Direct hire and specialty roles depend on certifications required — book a call and we'll give you a real timeline, not a marketing one.

What industries do you focus on?

Food manufacturing, manufacturing, and warehouse. We have adjacent placements in light industrial and skilled trades — ask if it's a fit.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on role, volume, and service line. We give an exact rate on the first call — no hidden fees, no portal surprise charges. Book a call and you'll know in 15 minutes.

Can you do temp-to-perm conversions?

Yes — built into the contract. Clear conversion path, transparent buyout terms, no double-billing games.

What's your coverage area?

Nationwide. Single-shift fills to multi-state rollouts. One contract, one POC.

How do you vet candidates?

Reliability history reviewed. Certifications verified (forklift, food handler, OSHA-10, etc. as required). Drug screen. Reference check. Then a personal phone screen — we're not running a résumé farm.

What if a placement doesn't work out?

We replace fast and we don't charge twice. Replacement guarantees built into every service line — terms confirmed in writing on the first call.
