Short-term maritime professionals for seasonal demand, special projects, or coverage during absences are provided through temporary staffing. Contract-to-hire enables you to evaluate an employee's performance and fit before making a permanent decision, with workers starting as contract employees who have the option to transition to direct hire after a trial period. Traditional recruitment happens with direct hire where WORKERS.COM sources, screens, and presents candidates for you to bring on as permanent employees from day one. We can help you determine the best approach for your business.
Yes. WORKERS.COM handles all employer responsibilities for temporary and contract maritime solutions placements, payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers' compensation insurance. You pay our invoice and we take care of everything else. This approach reduces administrative burden and eliminates liability while maintaining complete compliance with federal and state employment laws.
WORKERS.COM performs comprehensive background checks, drug screenings, skills assessments, and reference verifications for every candidate. We confirm all workers meet industry-specific certifications, safety training requirements, and OSHA standards. Current knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws is maintained by our team, addressing wage and hour compliance, workers' compensation, and workplace safety. Performance management continues ongoing to ensure every placement meets your expectations.
Workforce management in staffing refers to the end-to-end process of sourcing, placing, managing, and retaining workers on behalf of a business. It includes recruiting, onboarding, payroll, compliance, performance management, and workforce planning. WORKERS.COM acts as the employer of record for temporary and contract workers, handling all HR and compliance responsibilities while you direct the day-to-day work.
Using a staffing agency reduces time-to-hire, lowers total recruitment costs, and shifts employer liability for temporary workers to the agency.

WORKERS.COM handles all of this, giving businesses access to pre-screened talent on demand without the administrative overhead of a traditional hire.
