Common warehouse & distribution staffing roles
Frequently asked questions
How much does a staffing agency charge in Memphis?
Most Memphis light-industrial staffing relationships run on a markup model — typically 35–55% over the worker's hourly pay rate. That markup covers wages, payroll taxes, workers' comp, general liability, recruiting, screening, and our profit. Specialty roles (CDL yard jockey, sanitation lead, EVS) run higher.
What's the difference between temp, temp-to-hire, and direct hire?
Temp is week-to-week flex labor that stays on our payroll. Temp-to-hire is the same pay model with a defined buyout window (often 480–520 hours) after which the worker converts to your payroll with no conversion fee. Direct hire is a one-time placement fee — the worker starts on your payroll on day one.
How fast can you fill a forklift role?
Most certified sit-down and stand-up forklift roles in Memphis fill within 24–72 hours. Reach truck, cherry picker, and CDL-A yard jockey roles average 3–7 days depending on shift and pay rate.
Do you drug-test and background-check every worker?
Yes. Every worker we place clears a 5-panel drug screen and a county and federal background check before their first shift, with industry-specific add-ons (TB test for healthcare EVS, MVR for CDL roles) when required.
Do you offer on-site management for large accounts?
Yes — vendor-on-premise (VOP) and on-site management programs are available for accounts running 25+ associates per shift.
