Our Elizabeth bench spans the roles that keep operations moving:
258-unit luxury multifamily project under construction drives hiring for construction, retail, and property management staff.
source ↗267-unit residential project with retail and office space creates staffing demand for construction, sales, and administrative roles.
source ↗New mixed-use residential development with retail activity drives hiring for construction, retail, and customer service positions.
source ↗The difference is who employs the worker. For temp/contract, that's us — we carry pay, taxes and workers' comp, and you flex headcount as needed. For direct-hire, that's you — we just deliver a vetted candidate for a one-time placement fee on hire.
We stand behind every placement. Temp replacements are typically same-day and free; direct-hire roles carry a guarantee window during which we'll re-recruit if the hire doesn't stick.
It starts with your requirements — role, skills, start date. We assign a vetted worker, pay and insure them as the employer of record, and you manage their day-to-day work. No long-term commitment, and temp-to-hire conversion is always on the table.
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.
