Why Contractors Are Better Than Staffing Agencies for Mechanical Services
In the manufacturing world, flexibility is everything. But when key team members are off the floor—due to vacations, turnover, or spikes in demand—HR teams often turn to staffing agencies to plug the gap. It seems like the right move on paper, but there’s a better solution: hiring a contractor.
Here’s why contractors are better than staffing agencies for mechanical services.
Skilled trades Are Already Employed—They’re Not Sitting on Job Boards
If you’re looking for a millwright, a mechanic, machine assembly technician, or electrician, you’re looking for someone in high demand. The best tradespeople are not unemployed and waiting for a call from a staffing agency. They’re busy solving problems in plants like yours.
That’s what multi-trade contractors like Bullet do—we employ full-time, safety-certified tradespeople and deploy them quickly where they’re needed. They’ve seen complex systems many times before. They know how to walk into a plant and get moving with minimal ramp-up. You don’t get that with a resume from Indeed.
Contractors Bring Flexibility Without Compromising Quality
We specialize in temporary shift coverage for mechanical assembly, millwrighting, and electrical services. That means your plant stays online even when your internal team hits capacity. And unlike agencies, we don’t scramble to find a warm body. We send in someone who’s been trained, certified, and vetted—by us.
The Disconnect Between HR and the Plant Floor
The people on the plant floor usually know who they want. They know which contractors can solve their problems. The problem? They’re not the ones sourcing the help. HR is. And HR teams often rely on staffing agencies because that’s the default. But contractors like Bullet can bridge that gap—with real expertise, real technicians, and real results.
