MGR Workforce

What MGR Workforce does

MGR Workforce is a North American staffing agency established in 1999 that supplies temporary and permanent workers across 15 industry verticals, with primary depth in construction, skilled trades, warehousing, and manufacturing. The company operates as part of the MGR Group of Companies, governed under Ontario, Canada law, and runs 11 regional dispatch offices — four in Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan) and seven in the United States (Arizona, Chicago, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Washington). Service offerings span blue-collar labour (general labour, skilled trades, warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, marine), white-collar placements (administrative, finance and accounting, IT), and customer-facing verticals (hospitality, retail, food and beverage, medical/healthcare, cleaning and waste management).

The company's core technology is a proprietary workforce management platform centred on a continuous worker quality scoring system that quantifies individual worker performance using client quality scores, absenteeism, on-time rates, skills, and accreditations. This is complemented by an exclusive mobile application that enables on-site timesheet submission with GPS tracking and supervisor approval workflows. The tech stack is described as proprietary but is positioned as operational tooling rather than a customer-facing SaaS product — there is no disclosed API, SDK, or partner integration layer.

MGR monetises through two primary streams: temporary staffing services, where it employs workers and bills clients a markup on wages (managed services model), and permanent placement services, where it charges transaction fees for direct-hire and temp-to-perm conversions. Pricing is custom and quote-based with pay-as-you-go billing and no long-term commitments required. Distribution combines enterprise field sales through regional offices, inside sales via a published phone line and web form, and organic search-driven self-serve requests. No revenue, funding, or headcount figures are disclosed in the available source data.
