FAQ
Common questions
What does BigFoot Staffing do?+
BigFoot Staffing is a staffing and recruiting company in Portland, Oregon that specializes in creating irreplaceable hiring partnerships through tailor-fit workforce solutions. We staff and recruit across two primary tracks: 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 roles.
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 streamline the entire hiring process from sourcing to onboarding.
How are you different from other staffing agencies?+
We use a proprietary S.Q.U.A.T.C.H. principles framework, a human-first philosophy, and a highly selective candidate presentation process. Unlike traditional staffing firms that flood clients with resumes, we take the time to deeply understand each client's specific hiring needs and only present the most relevant candidates. This saves considerable screening time and reduces overall hiring costs through our unique pricing model.
What is the S.Q.U.A.T.C.H. framework?+
S.Q.U.A.T.C.H. stands for Safety (prioritizing safety training and reducing workplace accidents), Quality (ensuring high standards and process consistency), Uniqueness (embracing creativity and authenticity), Agility (providing adaptable and flexible workflows), Transparency (maintaining open communication and accountability), Collaboration (building enduring partnerships), and Human-First (putting people and individual aspirations at the center of everything we do).
How do you save employers time and money?+
We save time by being highly selective when presenting candidates, meaning your hiring managers review only qualified, aligned people instead of sorting through stacks of resumes. Our pricing model is competitive with traditional recruiting and offers dedicated support rates that rival in-house teams, reducing overall hiring costs.
