Carolina Industrial Staffing

Factories, warehouses and plants across South Carolina are the employers served by Carolina Industrial Staffing, an agency based in Columbia and set up in 2014. It places workers into temporary and permanent industrial jobs and says its team has more than 45 years of combined experience in staffing.

What kinds of workers it supplies

The agency lists production and assembly operators, office and clerical staff, process and project managers, and shop foremen and maintenance personnel. One of its senior people specializes in commercial and industrial electrical placements as well as temporary staffing, which gives the firm a particular footing in skilled trades. It describes itself as a source of talent for the state's manufacturing companies.

Recruiters with staffing credentials

The recruiters who work in the office hold the Technical Services Certified and Certified Staffing Professional designations awarded through the American Staffing Association. The agency says this shapes how its team approaches every recruiting task, with professionalism and diligence. It also maintains a database of qualified candidates and says its recruiting efforts are extensive, so that it can find a fit for each staffing need.

A hand-picked approach

According to the agency, a meticulous process lets it pick the most qualified candidates against each client's expectations rather than sending a stack of résumés. It says it treats each client as a partner, building a relationship on trust, professionalism and customer service, and that this relationship teaches it the client's business, culture and hiring needs. The agency says that understanding the employer's business is how it provides a workforce that supports growth.

Background of the team

Its leadership has long staffing backgrounds. Members of the team have worked collectively for decades in the industry, some for an earlier Columbia staffing firm, and one began as a temporary worker before moving into the profession, which the agency says gives first-hand appreciation of temporary assignments. Applicants can apply for positions through the website.
