Our Bakersfield bench spans the roles that keep operations moving:
New 350,000 sq ft mall with 22 tenants like Sprouts and PetSmart will create broad retail and food staffing demand.
source ↗12-acre shopping center with national and regional retailers near Del Oro High School will generate significant retail staffing needs.
source ↗375,000 sq ft retail development at Rosedale Highway and Coffee Road is expected to generate over $200 million in economic benefits and broad hiring.
source ↗Pricing follows the model: temp/contract is an all-in hourly bill rate (pay + taxes + insurance + service), and direct-hire is a one-time fee, usually a share of first-year salary, charged only when you actually hire the candidate.
Most volume and light-industrial requests are filled inside 48 hours. The more specialized or regulated the role, the more screening it needs, so plan on several days to two weeks for those.
Vetting is layered: capability and skills testing first, then references and E-Verify work authorization, then any role-specific checks — background, drug screen, or primary-source license verification for regulated jobs.
