Staffing and Recruiting Services
Built Around Your Business
Hughes has spent over two decades providing staffing and recruiting services across Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Minnesota. We know the employers, the candidates, and the markets you’re hiring in, because we’re part of them.
That local knowledge shapes everything we do, whether we’re filling a shift by Monday, finding the next leader for your team, or helping you rethink your HR function. No matter your needs, we’re the team that already knows your market.
Staffing, Recruiting, and Workforce Support in One Place.
Temporary & Temp-to-Hire Staffing
Need to fill a role fast, or want to see someone in action before you commit long-term? Our staffing solutions bring in vetted, ready-to-work talent for industrial, warehouse, clerical, and administrative roles across your operation, on your actual business timelines.
Professional Search
Your next hire is too important to leave to a job board. The wrong hire is an expensive mistake when the right one will change everything. Professional Search is Hughes’ direct-hire service for the leaders and specialists who move your business forward. We manage the entire process, only bringing you the candidates we’d stake our reputation on.
Payrolling Services
You found the talent. We’ll handle the paperwork. Hughes Payrolling takes on payroll administration, tax filings, workers’ compensation, and benefits management for your workforce, so your team can stay focused on running the business instead of juggling payroll.
HR Consulting
Not every business has a full HR department, and even the ones that do sometimes need an outside expert. Hughes HR Consulting gives you practical, experienced support on compliance, employee relations, performance management, and the HR projects that keep getting pushed to next quarter.
Why Choose Hughes for
HR and Recruiting Services
We could bury you in ten resumes. We’d rather hand you three that actually fit. Every candidate we present has been interviewed and vetted by our team first, which means less time filtering resumes on your end and more time meeting game-changing people.
We’re not a national staffing agency with a one-size-fits-all mentality. Hughes recruiters are active in the communities we serve, which means we know the local labor market, the local wage expectations, and often the candidate, before your job description ever hits our desk.
Industries We Serve
Our staffing and recruiting services support employers across a range of local industries, with established talent networks in areas such as:
Manufacturing
Hospitality
Finance and Insurance
Healthcare and Social Assistance
Transportation and Warehousing
Professional, Scientific & Technical Services
