A US direct-hire recruitment desk for construction, trades and industrial labor. Long briefs, properly vetted shortlists, one consultant per client.
Atlas Labor Force runs permanent labor and skilled-trades recruitment for the US contractors, manufacturers, distribution operators and industrial vendors that build, move and maintain things. The roles range from a general laborer on a 4-tens shift through to a foreman with full crew responsibility.
The team has run searches in this space for over a decade. We work US-wide and our network reaches across union halls, NCCER channels, trade-school pipelines, equipment-operator certification bodies and the active industrial-labor pool.
The person who picks up your call runs your search end to end. No researcher in the back room. No handover when you sign the contract. The phone number you dial first is the phone number you dial all the way through to the day-90 check-in.
We sit in the briefing call long enough to understand the project, the foreman, the shift pattern, the wage rate, the offer process and the make-or-break qualities. We would rather take a fortnight to deliver three good crew members than a week to deliver eight average ones.
The same sites we serve live and die by paperwork. So do we. OSHA 10/30, MSHA, NCCER, equipment-operator tickets, drug-screen tolerance and right-to-work all confirmed before a name reaches you.
Send candidates we have not vetted. Inflate wage expectations to win the brief. Pretend a candidate is two weeks away when we can see they are six. Pull a candidate from one of your competitors without their explicit, written consent. Run a search where we do not believe the wage rate attracts a strong candidate.
Project managers, plant managers, distribution leads and HR business partners at US contractors and industrial operators who want one named consultant who knows their site. SMEs, mid-market, GC operations and the US arms of multinational manufacturers all sit comfortably with us.
Every permanent placement comes with a 12-week replacement guarantee. If a hire does not stay, we re-run the search at no additional fee. The terms are written into the engagement letter, not buried in T&Cs.
