Automated systems and callbacks are not used. Every call gets answered because we know workforce emergencies do not wait for business hours.
Critical Roles

Fill Critical Roles in Hours, Not Weeks

When vessel production slows down or shipyard staffing needs arise due to workforce gaps, making each hour crucial. With our pre-qualified professional network and around-the-clock service, we typically place skilled maritime workers within hours or days, enabling you to dedicate less time to recruiting and more to running operations.
Safety

Compliance and Safety Built In

All shipyard workers undergo comprehensive evaluation with background checks, drug testing, and marine industrial assessments. Each professional maintains shipyard certifications, safety compliance requirements, and training protocols. We stay current on maritime employment regulations to ensure operations stay protected.
Nationwide Reach

Nationwide Reach With Regional Knowledge

Centered in the San Francisco Bay Area with full operations across all 50 states, we provide extensive reach alongside regional specialization. Our expertise in marine industrial markets, shipyard wage benchmarks, and safety requirements helps us source qualified shipyard professionals in your vicinity.
Administrative

One Invoice. Zero Administrative Burden.

Shipyard staffing covers sourcing, screening, background checks, payroll, benefits, workers' compensation, and compliance. You receive one invoice and access qualified shipyard professionals without the overhead or complexity of traditional hiring.
Without the Risk

Scale Up or Down Without the Risk

Our solutions allow you to add maritime workers when demand increases and reduce capacity when activity slows, without layoffs, severance, or unemployment claims. You remain agile without the liability.

Shipyard staffing has resulted in tens of thousands of successful placements across vessel construction, ship repair, marine fabrication, dry dock operations, and maritime trades since 1989. We grasp the shipyard safety requirements, the maritime skills that matter, and the work ethic that separates adequate shipyard workers from exceptional marine professionals.

What states does WORKERS.COM operate in?

Short-term shipyard employees 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 manages all employer responsibilities for temporary and contract shipyard placements, including payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers' compensation insurance. We handle everything while you simply pay our invoice. Administrative burden is eliminated, liability is reduced, and compliance with all federal and state employment laws is guaranteed.
WORKERS.COM performs comprehensive background checks, drug screenings, skills assessments, and reference verifications for every candidate. We verify all workers meet maritime industry-specific certifications, safety training requirements, and OSHA standards. Current knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws is maintained by our team, covering 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. Direct hiring requires managing the full recruitment cycle, onboarding, benefits, compliance, and potential severance, all of which take time and resources. WORKERS.COM handles all of this, giving businesses access to pre-screened talent on demand without the administrative overhead of a traditional hire.
Yes. WORKERS.COM works with businesses of all sizes, from single-location small businesses to large multi-site enterprises. Our workforce management solutions scale to fit your needs, whether you need one reliable worker for a short-term project or an ongoing staffing partnership to support your operations year-round.
WORKERS.COM operates in all 50 states. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, we combine the scale of a national staffing firm with regional expertise in local labor markets, wage rates, and compliance requirements. Wherever your business operates, we can source and manage qualified talent for you.
