Locally owned and operated, with offices in Lewiston and Moscow, our team partners with over 300 businesses and leverages a network of more than 20,000 candidates to help companies solve one of their biggest challenges: finding reliable, skilled people who actually fit their team. We are not a resume service and we are not just temporary labor. Our core approach is what we call the Evaluation Hire; a working interview that allows businesses to see an employee perform on the job before making a long term commitment. In a world where nearly 30% of new hires do not make it past the first 30 to 45 days, this model reduces risk, saves time, and protects company culture. The impact is measurable. For one local manufacturer we reduced their time to fill from 25 days to just 4, helping them stay productive and avoid costly downtime. We support a wide range of staffing needs including skilled trades, light industrial, office services, and professional placements. We also offer flexible solutions such as payroll services for companies that already have strong recruiting pipelines but want to reduce administrative burden, liability, and overhead. As hiring continues to evolve, especially with the rise of AI generated resumes and high application volume, our role is to bring clarity and confidence back to the process. Our system is designed to identify the right fit quickly, and just as importantly, identify when it isn’t the right fit. When that happens, we move fast to replace the employee, minimizing downtime and reducing the overall cost and burden on your business. Our mission is simple. Help local businesses grow, create opportunities for people in our community, and raise the standard of what staffing should be. If you are hiring, or even thinking about hiring, we would welcome the opportunity to be a resource.
