HR Companies & HR Consultants in Carthage, TN

HG Staffing, LLC is a Tennessee staffing and workforce solutions firm owned by a woman. It is run by people with long careers in human resources and recruiting. The company works with employers that need dependable workers, from a handful of new hires to whole crews for big operations. Its branch in Carthage is the closest office to Lebanon and the eastern Wilson County area. The firm also has offices across Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky.

Background and Credentials

The founders are Jim and Laura Holland. Both spent many years as senior corporate HR executives before they started The Holland Group in 1991. That firm grew to four divisions covering employment, executive search, consulting and outsourced manufacturing process work. It was named to the INC 500 list twice and served many large Fortune 500 manufacturers around the country.

The Hollands sold the business in 2007. Former clients kept asking for their help, so they came back to the industry and launched HG Staffing in 2010. The company's headquarters is in Murfreesboro. HG Staffing holds WBENC certification as a woman-owned business, which can matter to buyers with supplier diversity goals.

Services Offered

HG Staffing builds each engagement around the client instead of using a standard package. Its services include:

• Temporary staffing for entry-level and skilled jobs
• Temp-to-hire arrangements so employers can assess workers before hiring them
• Direct hire recruiting for permanent roles
• Staffing for special projects and short-term needs
• Large-scale workforce support for high-volume hiring
• On-site management of contingent workers at the client's location
• Workforce management that covers everything from recruiting through retention

How They Work With Clients

Each new partnership starts with the firm learning how the client operates, what its culture is like and what it wants to achieve. Staffing plans are then built around those priorities. Because of the founders' history in process management, the firm takes a process-focused approach and aims to deal with problems early.

HG Staffing says its team can be reached around the clock, including nights and weekends, and that it sets prices to match the local market. Client testimonials on its site mention steady communication, follow-through, better worker reliability and retention, and quick fills on short notice.
