⚠ Avoid scams: Never pay a fee just to apply for a job or get hired, and be wary of “schools” that promise jobs for high tuition. Legitimate apprenticeships and staffing agencies are free to you — you get paid, not the other way around.

Frequently asked questions

Do construction staffing agencies cost money?▾

No. Staffing agencies are paid by the employer, never the worker. If an agency asks you for a fee, walk away.

Can staffing lead to a permanent job?▾

Often yes — many temp and temp-to-hire placements convert to permanent roles, and they're a great way to get site experience and references.

How fast can a staffing agency place me?▾

Same-day or same-week placement is common for general labor; skilled-craft placement (electrician, welder, pipefitter) may take longer while the agency matches you to a suitable job.

Do I work for the staffing agency or the contractor?▾

Legally you're usually employed by the staffing agency, even while working on-site for a contractor's project — the agency handles your pay, taxes, and (where offered) benefits.
