Services
Temp-to-Hire
Our temp-to-hire service provides flexible staffing solutions where employees work on a trial basis before potential permanent placement. This approach allows employers to evaluate candidates in real work environments while candidates gain valuable experience. We handle payroll, taxes, and insurance during the trial period, reducing risk for both parties.
Direct Hire
For immediate staffing needs, our direct hire service delivers pre-screened candidates ready for immediate employment. We manage the entire recruitment process from job posting to final interviews, charging a success-based fee only after successful placement. This solution works best for critical roles requiring quick fulfillment.
Payroll Services
Our payroll services offer businesses flexible employee management solutions. Companies can maintain workers on our payroll during onboarding transitions or for extended periods. This includes comprehensive management of tax withholdings, benefits administration, and compliance documentation while providing employers operational flexibility.
Engineering Jobs
We specialize in placing engineering professionals across multiple disciplines including mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineering. Our industry expertise connects qualified candidates with innovative companies in Colorado's growing technology sectors through both temporary and permanent placement options.
Medical Manufacturing
Our medical manufacturing staffing solutions serve Colorado's growing healthcare technology sector. We provide qualified personnel for roles ranging from production technicians to quality assurance specialists, supporting companies in maintaining strict regulatory compliance and production standards.

I'm leaving a bad review for your company because 1st of all your ad never said to have Covid shot to apply!!!! Went all the way to your office, used all my gas to go apply, then just to get turned away!! Since I applied there and you are an employment office, the secretary said you could assist with other employment if job applied for didn't work out!! Went thru background check and everything !! Called your company , left messages, no response!!

This place is a joke!! I was going to make a formal complaint but its just a waste of time going there!!! (Plus I highly doubt they would pass it along to their supervisor or manager). I was recommend this staffing agency by a friend. After contacting them, they paired me with Catalina or something along those lines! After talking with her, she said she was going to place me at a warehouse job. I was soo exited to start to work and I never heard back from her so I called again but this time she kept giving me the run around(rude).I got so frustrated that she didn't want to give me straight answers
