Fewer Resumes. Better Hires. Lower Costs.

Tell us about the roles you are hiring for and we will map the right approach.

The case for change

Traditional staffing floods your inbox. We do not.

Most agencies send stacks of resumes and hope something sticks. BigFoot Staffing takes the opposite approach: deep discovery first, then a short list of candidates worth your time.

The old way

  • ×Resume floods that bury hiring managers in unqualified applicants
  • ×Hours lost every week screening and coordinating interviews
  • ×Recruiters who guess at your needs instead of learning them
  • ×Transaction-style placements that lead to turnover and repeat hiring cycles
  • ×Pricing that rivals the cost of running an in-house recruiting team

The BigFoot way

  • ✓A deep discovery process that maps your culture and hiring needs before we search
  • ✓Highly selective presentation: only qualified, aligned candidates reach your desk
  • ✓Clear, open communication with consistent updates and accountability
  • ✓Enduring partnerships built for sustained mutual success, not one-off fills
  • ✓A unique pricing model clients call highly competitive with traditional recruiting

We are a staffing and recruiting company in Portland, Oregon that builds irreplaceable hiring partnerships through tailor-fit workforce services. We staff and recruit for two primary groups: light industrial roles (warehouse, production, assembly, forklift, packaging, general labor, material handling, mechanics, and maintenance techs) and white-glove recruiting for operations and plant management, engineering, journeyman mechanics, sales, HR, accounting, and administrative positions.

What services do you offer?+

Four core services: Staffing for temporary and contract positions, Recruiting for permanent placements, Payrolling to manage employment administration and reduce HR burden, and Candidate Management to support the entire hiring process from sourcing to onboarding.

How are you different from other staffing agencies?+

Unlike traditional firms that flood clients with resumes, we take the time to deeply understand your specific hiring needs and only present the most relevant candidates. That saves you considerable screening time and reduces hiring costs through our unique pricing model.

It is our proprietary operating framework: Safety (training and accident prevention), Quality (high standards and consistency), Uniqueness (creativity and authenticity), Agility (flexible, adaptable workflows), Transparency (open communication and accountability), Collaboration (enduring partnerships), and Human-First (people and their aspirations at the center of everything we do).

How do you save employers time and money?+

By being highly selective when presenting candidates, we eliminate the hours spent reviewing unqualified resumes and coordinating interviews. Our pricing model is highly competitive with traditional recruiting approaches, and for existing clients we offer dedicated recruitment support at a rate competitive with in-house teams.
