LaborWorks, Inc.

What LaborWorks, Inc. does

LaborWorks, Inc. is a privately held industrial staffing specialty company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Gig Harbor, Washington. The company provides on-demand workforce management solutions — Temporary Staffing, Temp-to-Perm conversion (with a 320-hour no-additional-charge conversion trigger), and Direct Hire placement — to construction, warehouse and distribution, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and general light industrial employers across four US states: Washington (five branches), Colorado (three branches), Oregon (one branch), and Nevada (one branch). Customers engage LaborWorks primarily through toll-free phone lines and the company website, with a quoted four-hour response SLA and branches opening at 5:30 AM to support same-day deployment; the company reports 91.5K+ total workers placed and 27M+ work hours tracked cumulatively.

The business is monetized through a markup on temporary worker wages (usage-based), a transaction fee structure for temp-to-perm, and one-time placement fees for direct hire, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The technology layer is a digital staffing platform comprising the LaborWorks Portal (web-based customer portal for invoices and operations), the Let's Go mobile app (iOS and Android, providing customer invoicing/payment history and employee assignment, pay-history, tax-document, and job-posting access), and the e-Time and Attendance application (automated timekeeping, real-time tracking, and labor-law compliance reporting). Workers are paid same day via Global Cash Card or weekly via direct deposit, and LaborWorks assumes the full employer burden — Workers' Compensation, Social Security, Medicare, federal and state payroll taxes, and unemployment insurance — under a vertical segmentation approach organized around industrial end-markets rather than job-board breadth.

Operationally, LaborWorks is a branch-led, enterprise-field-sales GTM organization whose differentiation rests on local market knowledge, early-morning branch availability, and rapid worker deployment within one hour, combined with the comprehensive employer-of-record service. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the source data; ownership and management team details are not disclosed. The Olympia, Washington branch has been consolidated into the Puyallup branch, signaling selective rationalization of the footprint within its four-state operating region.

Revenue model

1. Temporary Staffing Services: LaborWorks provides temporary workers to businesses and charges a markup on worker wages. Businesses pay for the staffing service while LaborWorks handles payroll, workers' compensation, and employer taxes.
2. Temp-to-Perm Placement: Companies can trial workers before making permanent hires. If the worker reaches 320 hours on the job and the employer decides to hire them permanently, there is no additional charge beyond what was already paid during the temp period.
3. Direct Hire Placement: One-time fee placement service for permanent hires. LaborWorks sources, screens, vets, and connects hiring managers with qualified candidates for stable, high-skill roles with low turnover.
