Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you deploy workers?

Call our San Diego dispatch desk at 619-814-5576 any time. Dispatch checks availability and provides an arrival estimate based on your location, the roles you need, and the requested start time.

What industries do you staff?

We dispatch direct W-2 crews across four core industry sectors in San Diego:

  • Live Events & Entertainment: Stagehands, certified forklift operators, riggers, AV techs, and midnight strike crews.
  • Commercial Construction & Trades: OSHA 10/30 general laborers, trade helpers, concrete tenders, and continuous site sweeps.
  • Warehouse & Freight Logistics: Truck loaders, container destuffing crews, cross-dock handlers, and forklift operators.
  • General Labor: Heavy material staging, retail remodels, office relocation, and facility support.

Are your workers insured and covered for workers' compensation?

Yes. Every worker we dispatch is our direct W-2 employee, fully covered under statutory California workers' compensation and commercial general liability. We handle all payroll withholdings and tax filings directly.

What is your service area?

Our primary service territory covers all of San Diego County, including Downtown San Diego, Chula Vista, Otay Mesa, El Cajon, Escondido, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. For major festival builds, concert tours, and specialized commercial projects, our crews also mobilize to surrounding regional venues. Contact dispatch to confirm site coverage.

How do I submit a staffing request?

You can submit a staffing request online through our detailed labor request form. You can also request a labor quote before your schedule is final. For urgent needs, our 24/7 dispatch line can be reached directly at 619-814-5576. Existing clients can also view schedules through the Client Portal Hub.

How are workers screened?

Every worker on our roster undergoes in-person screening, skill verification, and trade safety orientation. We track site performance across assignments and dispatch proven crew members. For certified roles like OSHA-10 laborers or certified forklift drivers, credentials are confirmed before they arrive on site.

What if a placed worker doesn't meet my expectations?

Call dispatch immediately. We back every placement with a 4-hour replacement guarantee: if a worker fails to meet jobsite expectations during their first 4 hours, we replace them immediately and waive billing for those initial 4 hours.

Can I hire a temporary worker permanently?

Yes. If a dispatched worker fits your permanent team, you can convert them through our temp-to-hire program. Call dispatch to review terms and transition their payroll without missing a shift.
