HR Companies & HR Consultants in Arden, NC

OpSource Staffing is a staffing and HR company based in the Southeast. It helps employers find workers and helps job seekers find jobs. Its corporate office is in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Most of its branches are in South Carolina, with others in Arden, North Carolina, and Kingsport, Tennessee. The Kingsport branch is the closest to Johnson City. It runs on-site, inside client operations, and recruits for skilled trades, temporary roles, permanent placements and direct hire jobs in the area.

Services for Employers

The company describes itself as a full-service HR provider. It has four main service lines, and clients can use one or several of them depending on how they want to hire and manage workers:

• Traditional staffing for temporary and temp-to-hire workers
• Direct hire recruiting for permanent positions
• Skilled trades staffing, including welders and other certified tradespeople
• Payroll services in a single all-in-one package
• Custom on-site staffing programs for companies outside its branch areas

Branch teams handle every step of a placement: sourcing candidates, screening them and placing the chosen hire with the client. Employers who use the service say it saves their hiring managers from sorting through applicants themselves. Job postings for the Tennessee market include engineering and construction-related roles, such as project managers and estimators for industrial contractors.

How They Work With Clients

Client reviews describe a low-pressure start. Early meetings are not pushy, quotes are worked out together with the client, and staff check in every week once service begins. Several longtime clients call the firm a real partner that learned how their business works as it grew. Employers outside the branch cities can ask about an on-site arrangement, in which OpSource sets up recruiting at the client's own facility.

Team, Values and Background

Job postings say the business was founded in 2007. The leadership team includes a chief executive officer, Andrew Franseen, plus a director of business, a director of commercial staffing, a director of skilled trades managers and a director of sales and marketing. Business development managers, area managers and a branch manager dedicated to direct hire also support clients.

At the Arden office, a bilingual senior recruiting coordinator works with applicants and employers in the Asheville area. The company's guiding motto, credited to owner Jesse Sprinkle, is about doing the right thing as a group.

OpSource names four core values: integrity, excellence, loyalty and servant leadership. Its mission is to connect strong candidates with strong employers, and it says it focuses on both candidates and clients. For buyers comparing HR providers near Johnson City, its main strengths are skilled trades recruiting, a Kingsport branch that works inside client sites, and payroll and staffing available from one vendor.
