Agency FAQs

The usual approach from staffing agencies and staffing services doesn't work.
Recruiters avoid firing anyone to keep earning commission, leaving you with the wrong employees.
Our aim, as a staffing company and staffing agency alternative, is to hire qualified candidates who are reviewed so they are encouraged to perform at their best.
Thanks to our 3-strike policy and this review system, our candidates understand they need to do their best.
Upshifters receive a strike for canceling shifts, being late, or other minor issues.
A severe issue like a temp employer not showing leads to 3 strikes which means they can't work with Upshift again.
This differs greatly to the standard Minnesota staffing firms.
As a leading staffing agency alternative, we create a culture where Upshifters feel responsible. Upshifters take our rules seriously because they don't want to lose access to the platform. This ensures that all your placements are filled by the best candidates and that you have high employee retention.
