Arrow Staffing

Arrow Staffing started in 1972 as Redlands Employment. In 1992, the Thalmayer family purchased the firm and rebranded it to reflect expansion beyond Redlands into Riverside, Ontario, and surrounding Inland Empire communities. In 2019, they opened a Grand Rapids, Michigan location.

Their mission is straightforward: Connecting people to change lives.

Arrow Staffing offers three staffing models:

• •Temporary Staffing — Short-term (vacation/illness coverage) or long-term assignments (family/medical leave). They also scale up for peak production periods.
• •Temp-to-Hire — Bring in an employee for 90 days to test fit before making a permanent hire commitment.
• •Direct Hire — Arrow sources, screens, and presents candidates. You pay a prenegotiated fee only if you hire.

They call it Arrow Precision — a three-step approach:

1. The Beginning — Staffing specialists analyze the open position, required skills, education, and certifications. They study each company's culture and goals.

2. The Middle — Utilizing 45+ years of network relationships, applicant tracking systems, and online databases, they filter candidates through pre-application screening and testing. Only those with required skills and background move forward.

3. (Not) The End — Arrow manages hiring, salary, and benefits administration so companies focus on productivity and growth. They guarantee satisfaction.

• •No fees to apply. Arrow makes money from employers, not applicants.
• •Application process: Complete online, visit the office, interview with a staffing specialist, possibly take computer testing (for office/professional roles), and pass reference checks.
• •Check in weekly to stay visible and available.
• •You can decline positions that don't fit your needs.
• •On assignment but unhappy? Contact them ASAP—they try to find solutions quickly. Communication matters.

• •If unsatisfied within two hours of an employee starting, Arrow replaces them at no cost.
• •Background screening options include drug screens, DMV checks, criminal and credit background checks (conducted by Arrow for a fee or by your own providers).
• •Pricing varies based on account volume, workers' comp costs, and lead time.
• •Arrow covers workers' compensation and unemployment for temporary and temp-to-hire staff, removing payroll burden from the client.
