source ↗The $5B rail extension to 130th Street will start construction in 2026, creating thousands of transit and construction jobs.

In a co-employment relationship the agency is the administrative employer (pay, benefits, compliance) and the client is the worksite employer (supervision, safety). Clear contracts allocate who's responsible for what.
Temp-to-hire makes this easy: the worker starts on our payroll, you evaluate them in the actual role, and you convert them to permanent on agreed terms whenever it makes sense.
