Light Industrial Staffing Company
Great jobs for hardworking, dependable people.
Manufacturing. Distribution.
Skilled Labor.
Manufacturing and distribution are the lifeblood of the economies in Southwest Washington and Oregon. At American Workforce Group (AWG), we recognize that the strength of these industries depends entirely on the people behind the machines and inside the warehouses. As a premier light industrial staffing company, we take our responsibility seriously, vetting every candidate with the same rigor we would use for a full-time internal hire.
From the shipping hubs of Vancouver and Tacoma to the production lines in Longview and Olympia, AWG is the bridge between talented laborers and the companies that need them most.
Flexible Workforce Solutions for Modern Industry
The industrial sector is rarely static. Seasonal peaks, sudden contract wins, and unexpected turnover can disrupt your supply chain and eat into your profit margins. AWG provides flexible and cost-effective staffing services designed to keep your facility operating at peak capacity, no matter what challenges arise.
Our Staffing Models:
Temporary Staffing: Ideal for short-term projects, seasonal surges, or filling gaps during employee absences.
Temp-to-Hire: The most popular choice for industrial leaders. This allows you to evaluate a worker’s punctuality, safety habits, and productivity on-site before they join your permanent payroll.
Direct Hire Recruitment: For specialized skilled trades and supervisory roles, we source and headhunt high-caliber talent that isn’t found on traditional job boards.
The AWG Advantage: Local Expertise, National Standards
As a local light industrial staffing leader, AWG has earned a reputation for extensive knowledge of the Washington and Oregon markets. We don’t just “fill orders”—we consult with our clients to understand their workflow.
Safety First Culture In light industrial and skilled labor environments, safety is non-negotiable. We prioritize candidates who demonstrate a commitment to workplace safety protocols, helping our clients maintain high safety ratings and reduce the risk of on-the-job incidents.
Rigorous Vetting Process We understand that an unreliable worker costs more than an empty seat. Our recruiters perform deep-dive interviews and background checks, ensuring that every individual we send to your facility has the experience and the physical stamina to meet the demands of the job.
