We Hire Teammates, Not Temps
A staffing company is an organization that matches companies and job candidates. By registering with a staffing agency, you have the potential to make connections with multiple hiring managers looking to find the right people for their job openings. Onin Staffing does industrial and clerical staffing. They help people find employees for different types of industries. Everything from light industrial to welding to office clerical and HR roles.
Onin Staffing is part of the nationwide Onin Group, which is based in Birmingham, AL. They are the largest privately owned staffing company in the country and have branches all over the United States, including five in MS. Onin, a 26-year-old company, has had offices in MS for 15-16 years. Forest was the first branch and Meridian was within that sales territory. Then the opportunity to open here in Meridian came up and they have been brick and mortar here since July 2021.
“A lot of the local temporary services in this area and many others tend to put people to work for the purpose of just getting people into a job,” says Stephanie Gurley, Market Manager. “What’s different
about Onin is we invest in our teammates. Our goal is to get people hired permanently with companies and to partner with companies that want a stable workforce. That sets us apart from other temp services you see. We are more of a full-service staffing company.”
She continues, “I moved to Meridian three years ago with my husband. I say a need here to connect these large companies with the available workforce. One thing Onin does is really try to get anchored and involved in the community. Getting to learn about the businesses here and what they do is interesting. Helping problem solve and bring solutions to their hiring needs is our goal. Businesses should realize that their product and service are only going to be as good as their employees. Let them know that you expect the best from them as they represent your company. The experience one customer has with one employee sets the tone for how they will always think of that business.”
Onin Staffing believes in community partnership. There are many businesses in the Meridian /Lauderdale County area that can support one another. It’s important to have one connective piece to bring that support together. The chamber is that connection, helping each business build relationships with others and building trust. “It’s important to me to be involved in the community because I want to put people to work. If I don’t know what’s out there, I can’t do my job,” Gurley adds.
