MARKETS WE SERVE

Industrial & precision manufacturing staffing

Manufacturing has deep roots in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Today’s operations combine that industrial heritage with increasingly sophisticated equipment, processes and technology. That means employers need more than people willing to work. They need the right mix of production talent, skilled trades and technical expertise. FurstStaffing recruits for manufacturers ranging from metal fabricators and precision machining companies to machinery, plastics, building-products and component manufacturers.

STAFFING SERVICES

Skilled people for the work that built this region.

From production floor to precision work, we understand the difference between manufacturing jobs

A machine operator isn’t interchangeable with a CNC machinist. A welder’s experience may fit one operation and not another. The same title can mean very different things depending on the equipment, tolerances, materials, shift and environment.

That’s why our recruiting process goes beyond job titles.

We work to understand the skills and experience that matter in your operation so candidates can be evaluated against the actual work they’ll perform.

Competing for a changing manufacturing workforce

Manufacturing continues to create substantial hiring demand even as automation changes how work gets done. Employers increasingly need people who can work effectively alongside advanced machinery, computerized equipment and automated processes.

At the same time, experienced workers continue to retire or move between occupations.

For employers, that makes recruiting, developing and retaining skilled people a long-term capacity issue—not simply an HR problem.

A workforce partner built for manufacturing

Whether you need flexible production staffing, a difficult-to-find machinist, maintenance talent or a direct-hire professional, FurstStaffing can build a recruiting approach around your operation.
