For employers
HireQuest, Inc. (Nasdaq: HQI) is a national franchisor of direct-dispatch, executive-search, and commercial staffing offices serving employers across the United States. We operate from our headquarters in Goose Creek, South Carolina, and our recruiters answer to the same disclosure standards as any public company.
Every engagement is worked by a specialist practice-area desk with a named lead. You will not be handed off to a generalist queue after the first call.
How we engage
Contract commercial staffing. W-2 contract workers for warehouse, light industrial, and office support needs — projects, surge capacity, and seasonal demand. We handle vetting, payrolling, benefits, and compliance; you get weekly timekeeping and one consolidated invoice.
Direct-hire placement. Success-based permanent placement when the hire matters. You review only candidates who have been screened, briefed, and confirmed interested. There is no fee until your new hire starts, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Executive search. Retained and engaged searches for leadership and hard-to-fill professional roles, run with defined milestones, market mapping, and confidential candidate outreach built in.
Your candidates are kept informed
With candidate consent, we send transactional SMS updates during your search: application confirmations, interview reminders, reschedules, and offer-stage notices. In practice that means fewer no-shows and faster feedback loops. Two examples:
Hi, Richard with HireQuest Talent. Reminder: your interview for Forklift Operator (Nashville TN, $19/hr) is tomorrow 11:00 AM ET. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule. Reply STOP to opt out.
