Show Up, Do the Job Right, or Don’t Bother.

We like working with contractors who feel the same way. So if you need temporary or direct-hire construction workers who won’t slow down your crew, won’t get hurt, and won’t no-show tomorrow, we know where to find them. Because we’ve been staffing construction job sites since 1987.

Construction Staffing Agency in Oregon | Find Skilled Labor

NOT OUR FIRST JOB SITE

The Construction Staffing Agency Oregon Contractors Actually Trust.

Here’s the thing that actually matters on a job site: expertise. Not survival-of-the-fittest. Our recruiters don’t guess. They ask about your project, your timeline, and your crew — then quickly send skilled labor you can count on. That’s why contractors don’t just call us once. They call us for the next job, and the one after that.

New codes, new tools, new expectations. A lot’s changed in construction over the years. Staffing had to change right along with it. We’ve never fallen behind on either one.

We Ask First.

We run a tight ship over here. Tell us your operating realities — timelines, deal-breakers, what “good” actually looks like on your crew. We build from what you tell us, not a canned template.

Fast, Not Sloppy.

Need 50 general laborers next month? Our AI-matching narrows the field fast, then our recruiters personally screen for skill and experience before anyone gets sent your way.

Our Home Turf.

We know the Pacific Northwest because we live here too. The market, the trades, and the people worth calling…that’s not something you can fake with a database.

Safety Isn’t Optional.

Our team includes General OSHA-10 certified staff who stay current on state law and OSHA regs, so you get fewer injuries, less risk, and a job site that keeps running.

CONSTRUCTION STAFFING FAQs

The Questions We Get On Every Call.

Straight answers to what General Contractors actually want to know before they call.

Selectemp can send candidates in 24 to 48 hours, without sacrificing quality. We can scale quickly to keep your project on time and on budget. Once you select a candidate and they complete onboarding, they can be on the job in an average of 24 hours.

Yes. We place carpenters, framers, roofers, and other skilled trades, not just general labor. Tell us the certification or experience level you need, and we’ll screen for it specifically.

Our internal team members hold OSHA 10 certification, which helps us understand your jobsite’s safety requirements when screening candidates. We can often source workers who already have OSHA training, but not every temporary worker holds an OSHA 10 card. Let us know what training or credentials your job requires, and we’ll screen for them.

Rates vary depending on the role, the trade, and the length of the assignment — so a flat number won’t mean much until we know your project. What we will tell you: the lowest bid doesn’t factor in the no-show that stalls your crew, the turnover that costs you a re-hire, or the safety incident that never should’ve happened. We price for reliability, not just headcount, across temporary, temp-to-hire, direct-hire, and leasing options. Contact us for a custom quote built around your actual project.

Selectemp covers our employee and their workplace injury through our workers’ compensation insurance. Your team has direct supervision and control over the worker’s day-to-day activities and the job site, including site-specific safety training. If an injury occurs, notify us right away so we can coordinate care and the workers’ comp claim.

Yes, and that’s exactly what temporary construction staffing is built for. Whether you need one person for a day or a full crew for a season, we can flex to the timeline your project actually needs.

It’s rare, but if it happens, you call us and we move fast to get a replacement out. A no-show on your team is our problem to solve, not yours.

Yes. We align screening with your workplace drug testing policy and can arrange testing for employees assigned to your team. Tell us your requirements before an assignment begins so we can coordinate the right test and timing.
