Staffing for Manufacturing
Production demands can be unpredictable and yet the quality of your workforce shouldn’t be.
Manufacturing is one of the largest industries in the U.S. generating over $2 trillion in revenue. After all, the U.S. produces more than 18% of the world’s goods. With these numbers, it’s easy to see why it’s vital to have a top-tier manufacturing team. Like many other fields, however, there is a lack of available talent. Employers struggle to find the skilled workers they need to fill key roles on their teams.
At FootBridge, we find the people you need to meet the challenges of cyclical demand and time-sensitive production schedules. We work closely with you to attain a thorough understanding of your business needs, recommend strategic solutions, and give you the tools you need to succeed in today’s competitive environment. Providing the right people who will blend seamlessly with your current team is what we do best, and together we get the job done.
Our talented team of specialized recruiters will find qualified candidates for all your projects, including:
- Capital Equipment
- Robotics / Automation
- Life Sciences
Frequently Asked Questions
Can hiring contract workers help to reduce long term fixed costs & avoid layoffs?
Yes, it does!
