Cypress Employment Services, LLC

Skilled trades and industrial staffing across the Gulf South

Cypress Employment Services is a contract staffing and employment agency with offices serving Mobile and Birmingham in Alabama and Nashville in Tennessee. Its stated purpose is to let employers concentrate on productivity, profitability and staffing flexibility, and it says it has reworked the staffing model around on-time, best-fit placements. Its main focus is skilled craft and industrial work.

The kinds of workers it supplies

The site groups its placements by trade:

• Welding, pipefitting, rigging and crane operation.
• Aviation, aerospace and manufacturing support, including line staff and technical roles.
• Warehouse and inventory staff, shipping and receiving.
• Electricians, carpenters, production crews and operators of heavy equipment.
• Office-side roles: accounting, administration, filing and legal support.
• IT professionals, technical support staff and CAD draftsmen.

Job pages for job seekers highlight openings in the construction industry, chemical plants, heavy equipment and administrative work, and the agency says it recruits the region's best craftspeople and technicians to meet employer requirements.

Project staffing and flexibility

A recurring theme is that projects demand efficiency and profitability, and that a skilled, project-focused workforce which can be scaled up or down is a key factor in keeping margins. The agency presents contract staffing as a way for employers to match headcount to the size of a job. It also says it takes the work out of candidate search, selection and recruiting, with screening done on the employer's behalf.

Workforce success strategy

What it says sets the firm apart is a strategy for recruiting and retaining highly skilled craftspeople, treating retention as part of the service rather than only the first placement. The site also carries a safety section, with the company's safety policies and a safety manual, along with job-search tips for employees on attitude and reliability.

Beyond placement

Two further services sit beside staffing. Human resource consulting helps employers with legal compliance, and an industrial engineering line is listed with the other offerings. Together they give employers a single firm to approach for workforce planning as well as workers.
