Hire dependable industrial talent across Northern Minnesota.
From production workers to hard-to-find skilled trades, we help employers recruit across the region and choose a workforce solution that fits the job.
Industrial recruiting built around the cost of an open shift.
When a manufacturing or skilled-trades role stays open, the cost shows up as overtime, delayed production, supervisor distraction, missed maintenance, slower shipping, and burnout. We help Northern Minnesota employers recruit for the work that keeps operations moving.
Roles we commonly target
- Machine operators, assemblers and production employees
- Industrial maintenance technicians and millwrights
- HVAC/R, refrigeration and mechanical service technicians
- MIG/TIG welders, fabricators and press brake operators
- CNC machinists and skilled machine setup roles
- Forklift operators, material handlers and warehouse staff
- CDL drivers, yard drivers and logistics support
- Production leads, supervisors and technical professionals
