Got a build with a hard deadline? We assemble crews of vetted tradespeople sized to your project — from a two-person team for a quick install to a 50-plus crew for a long-haul commercial build.

Our recruiters scope the job with you, identify the skill mix you need, and have workers reporting on day one. You manage the project; we manage the workforce behind it.

​

Best For

​

• New construction

• Retrofits

• Plant shutdowns

• Scheduled outages

• Large-scale rollouts

Sometimes you want to see how someone performs before committing. With Temp-to-Hire, the worker is on Hawkins' payroll during a trial period — typically 60 to 120 days — while you evaluate their fit on real work.

If they're a keeper, you convert them to your payroll with no additional placement fee. If they're not, no harm done; we send a replacement.

​

Best For​

​

• Trying out new hires risk-free

• Scaling up while testing fit

• Evaluating culture match

When you need a long-term hire — a foreman, a journeyman, a project superintendent — we do the heavy lifting on sourcing, screening, and shortlisting so your hiring manager only sees candidates worth their time.

You hire the worker directly onto your payroll. We charge a one-time placement fee, and we back every placement with a replacement guarantee.

​

Best For

​

• Permanent roles

• Leadership positions

• Hard-to-fill specialty trades

Found your own candidate but don't want the overhead of putting them on your payroll? We'll carry them.

Hawkins Trade Force handles wages, payroll taxes, workers' comp, unemployment, and benefits administration — all wrapped into a single weekly invoice.

Especially useful for short-term assignments, out-of-state workers, or 1099-to-W2 conversions you want to keep clean.

Best For​​​

​

• Pre-identified hires

• Short engagements
