Integral Staffing

Engineering and production staffing, on contract or direct hire

Integral Staffing places engineers and production or manufacturing support personnel with employers, either on temporary contract assignments or in permanent, direct positions. With over two decades in this field, according to the firm, its principal holds a degree in engineering and has worked in industry, which it presents as the reason it can judge technical candidates well. It says it presents only candidates with the right background and skills, rather than sending large numbers of resumes.

The roles it fills

Beyond engineers in a range of disciplines, the firm covers other technical professions and engineering support. Its listed support roles are CAD designers and drafters (mechanical, electrical, printed circuit board, civil and architectural), technicians (lab, engineering, electrical, electronic and mechanical), quality inspectors (including coordinate measuring machine, optical, clean room and FDA-regulated work) and assemblers (electronic, electro-mechanical, mechanical and surface-mount).

What employers are offered

For client companies, the firm says it works from an experienced network and a proprietary database that lets it complete assignments faster than competitors. It describes its focus as good service and expertise at a fair price, and as building long-term relationships. Clients can try a temp-to-perm arrangement, converting a temporary worker to a direct employee after a set period at no fee, so they can judge performance and work ethic first. If the conversion happens before the full temporary term ends, the placement fee is reduced in proportion to the time already worked. The firm states that it carries general liability insurance and workers' compensation cover for its temporary and contract staff, and handles payroll obligations such as taxes, disability and unemployment.

How it treats candidates

The firm says no fees are charged to candidates, as all fees are paid by the client. Its team says it has used staffing firms itself, and promises confidentiality, discussion of any opening before a resume goes to a client, prompt return of calls, and updates on the progress of an application. It also offers advice on job searching and interviews. Temporary workers receive paid sick leave, paid holidays including a floating one, weekly direct deposit and the option of group health and dental plans.
