    ––Your Ōnin team

    Company Description

    Our light industrial and light clerical staffing division is our foundation business and has been the driving force behind our exponential growth rate over the last 20 years. This is our flagship division currently representing 85% of our overall business with 83 full-service branches in 16 states.

    We understand that just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing demands JIT staffing. Our clients know they can lean on us to get 20 to 200 Onin teammates with a 2- to 8-hour notice. On the other hand, when skill set and longevity are the priority, we customize our recruiting and screening process to ensure our partnering clients have the employee edge with teammates they can hire directly after the contract term. Our nimble company structure, our status as an employer of choice and our innovative mindset ensure we can develop and execute a staffing program which addresses our customer’s specific needs and provide a variety of long-term and short-term employment opportunities for our teammates.

    Sectors like manufacturing, food processing, warehousing, packaging and hospitality, if done right, are highly refined crafts. That is why we are so excited to roll up our sleeves and match the right people with the right opportunities.
