Our client is a specialized recruiting firm focused exclusively on CNC machining talent, including machinists, programmers, operators, and manufacturing leaders. Built by a team with deep manufacturing experience, the company developed a successful direct-hire business using a subscription-based recruiting model that provided clients with ongoing recruiting support rather than traditional placement fees.
Key Highlights
As demand for contract machinists increased, the company recognized a significant growth opportunity but lacked the infrastructure to enter the contract staffing market. The company faced employer liability, insurance, payroll funding, and compliance challenges that made contract staffing difficult to launch independently.
Challenges
The company partnered with Signature Back Office to provide Employer of Record (EOR) services and support the launch of its contract staffing division. Signature quickly approved skilled-trade positions, streamlined onboarding, and provided ongoing expertise that allowed the client to focus on recruiting rather than back-office administration.
Key Components
The results were immediate. Within days of implementation, the client successfully placed its first contractor and began building a scalable contract staffing operation. The company expanded into multiple states and created an internal structure dedicated to supporting contract staffing growth.
Results Achieved
The partnership fundamentally changed our client’s growth trajectory. Contract staffing evolved from a missed opportunity into one of the company’s fastest-growing revenue streams, creating a highly scalable and predictable business model.
Business Impact
“Partnering with Signature Back Office allowed us to enter the contract staffing market far faster than we ever could have on our own. Their expertise in compliance, payroll, workers’ compensation, and funding removed the barriers that were holding us back and helped us grow from zero contractors to a thriving contract division in less than a year. The partnership has truly changed our business.”
