Looking for Work?
We can help!
Thousands of people have found Shannon Staffing to be a great choice when seeking employment, whether looking for a temporary job or a rewarding long-term career.
- 1. Being proactive can help take the stress out of incessant job board scrolling…just let it come to you when the time is right.
- 2. Be among the first applicants to see and apply for the right position.
- 3. Feel comfort in knowing you are truly doing everything you can to find your next role.
- Some of our clients ask us to help find, attract and recruit Permanent Placement or Direct-Hire candidates, where newly-hired individuals move directly onto the personnel roster of the client as a core team member or “regular employee.”
- Other clients like to fully evaluate potential new employees, working in-place, before they make a long-term commitment. Individuals serve as Shannon Staffing employees that are “assigned” to work at a specific client, as Assignment Employees or Temporary Staff.
- Some of our “assignment, temporary or contract employees” later gain “regular-employee” status with an organization where they’ve completed an assignment, through Temp-to-Hire conversion. This status change occurs either by initial client design (for example, after 90, 120 or 180 days of evaluation) or from client recognition of an individual’s outstanding performance. Often these strong performers gain an increase in compensation and begin to accrue benefits of the client upon conversion to “regular-employee” status.

You should note that a criminal background check will be completed. And, for many manufacturing-related roles, you may be required to undergo a physical exam.
