Manufacturing Staffing

Manufacturing staffing is the process of recruiting, hiring, and managing professionals in roles specific to the manufacturing and industrial industries.

A staffing agency can fill roles including direct hire, temporary, or temp-to-hire positions with qualified candidates ready to make an impact and drive innovation based on your needs and goals.

Manufacturing recruiting offers many benefits to businesses and professionals.

For companies, manufacturing staffing gives them access to specialized talent to fill roles, recruiters who are familiar with their industry, and a partner to manage the recruiting process to make it fast and effective. This includes marketing the job to our industry network, talent acquisition and screening, scheduling interviews, and job placement.

For applicants, manufacturing staffing agencies give opportunities for career advancement, a partner who will reach out with new opportunities in the future that match their experience and career goals, and a resource to help them through the interview process.

Manufacturers typically explore staffing partnerships when they experience recurring vacancies, high attrition, difficulty sourcing experienced talent, production delays, or limited internal recruiting capacity. Staffing agencies can also support growth initiatives, seasonal demand, or project-based work.

We specialize in a variety of manufacturing staffing specialties including but not limited to:

• Production
• Operations
• Engineering
• Quality control
• Temporary manufacturing staffing
• Manufacturing executive staffing

We also provide staffing for other STEM industries, healthcare, and more!

Hunter Recruiting follows internal best practices and principles developed over the past 20 years to make effective placements. This starts with a rooted connection with our clients and applicants through a deep understanding of their industry, pain points, and goals and efficient communication with all parties.

Every new position search starts with a consultation with a recruiter who gets to know you, what you are looking for in a candidate, and any information we need to lead an effective talent acquisition.

Then we post the opening to our proprietary job board and tap into our talent pool of over 1.2 million candidates to start screening and scheduling interviews.

This depends on your specific recruiting needs and whether the role is temporary or permanent.

Hunter Recruiting’s average time to fill a temporary position is 5 days, and direct hire is 20-40 days, depending on requirements and the imeliness of client interviews. Our average time to fill in the manufacturing industry is 15 days.

Time to fill spans from the start of the search until an accepted offer from the candidate.

No, our initial consultation is free and you don’t pay until a recruitment service agreement is reached.

Staffing agencies have recruitment fees depending on the provided services which can vary depending on if the role is permanent or temporary and the extent of services.

This can include making a job placement, onboarding, training, administrative assistance, and more.

Yes! We can help you with onboarding including administrative duties like payroll, scheduling, and training.

A staffing partner helps stabilize the workforce by maintaining access to pre-qualified talent, reducing time-to-hire, and supporting onboarding and workforce planning. This approach can limit disruptions caused by turnover, absenteeism, or unexpected demand changes.

By shortening hiring timelines and improving access to job-ready talent, staffing agencies help manufacturers fill critical roles faster. This reduces the risk of missed shifts, overtime fatigue, and production slowdowns caused by unfilled positions.

Staffing agencies typically incorporate safety awareness, role-specific screening, and onboarding support into their processes. This helps ensure candidates understand job requirements, site expectations, and compliance standards before entering the facility.
