Flexible Workforce Solutions

Three Ways to Build Your Team

Temp-to-Hire

Bring someone on and see how they perform before you make it permanent. We handle the sourcing, screening, and paperwork on the front end. You get real, on-the-job insight into fit before deciding whether to extend a permanent offer.

Direct Hire

For roles where you know you’re hiring permanently from day one; skilled, technical, safety-sensitive, or professional positions where turnover isn’t an option. We recruit and vet candidates against your specific requirements, not a generic job description, so the candidates you interview have already been evaluated against the requirements that matter for the role.

Temporary Staffing

Staffing that flexes with what’s happening in your business—a seasonal push, a special project, disaster response, or simply covering a gap while you search for a permanent hire. We can scale a team up or down without you carrying the overhead of a full-time roster you don’t need year-round.

Our Safety Standard

Built for Safety from Day One

Before an employee arrives at your jobsite, Mid-Cal Labor Solutions works to understand the role, environment, and safety requirements. Depending on the assignment and location, our process may include:

Safety isn’t just part of our process. It’s part of who we are.

Employer FAQs

What sets Mid-Cal Labor Solutions apart from other staffing agencies?

Mid-Cal Labor Solutions is regional, not national—every relationship is handled by people who know the industry, the worksite, and what it actually takes to get the job done. Candidates are screened for fit and safety before they ever show up, and Mid-Cal stays involved once a placement starts, backed by a dedicated safety team and a preference for face-to-face relationships over automated processes.

I was a Rand Employment Solutions client. What does the transition to Mid-Cal Labor Solutions mean for me?

Rand Employment Solutions is now part of Mid-Cal Labor Solutions, and former Rand clients can expect the same team, the same service, and the same level of attention—now backed by Mid-Cal’s expanded resources and regional reach. Existing points of contact remain in place, and any questions about the transition can be directed to a Mid-Cal representative at any time.

What staffing options does Mid-Cal Labor Solutions offer?

Temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, direct-hire recruiting, payroll-only services, and project, seasonal, or high-volume staffing. Mid-Cal’s team can help determine which option fits a given operation best.

How quickly can Mid-Cal Labor Solutions fill a position?

Many positions can be filled within 24 to 72 hours of a complete job order, and some qualified workers can be placed immediately. Specialized, technical, or difficult-to-fill roles may take longer—advance notice helps Mid-Cal provide the strongest candidates.

How does Mid-Cal Labor Solutions screen candidates?

Screening is matched to the requirements of each position and may include application and resume review, recruiter interviews, skills and experience verification, employment or reference checks, background checks, drug testing, and job-specific certifications. The goal is qualified people who understand what’s expected of them—not just filled seats.

What safety measures does Mid-Cal Labor Solutions have in place?

Every employee completes onboarding and general safety orientation, including required workplace training, before starting an assignment. Mid-Cal maintains dedicated safety resources—a field safety team in California’s Central Valley and on-call safety resources and nurse triage access elsewhere—and helps verify certifications and PPE requirements specific to each assignment, including specialized oilfield credentials where applicable. Site-specific hazards, procedures, and daily supervision remain the client’s responsibility; Mid-Cal treats safety as a shared partnership throughout the assignment, not just an onboarding step.

What happens if a placement doesn't work out?

For temporary staff, Mid-Cal works to provide a replacement as quickly as possible—the goal is keeping the operation staffed, not just filling the original order. Direct-hire placements include a replacement guarantee within a defined window, subject to the client agreement. Temp-to-hire allows both employer and employee to confirm fit before conversion to a permanent hire.

Who handles payroll, timekeeping, and compliance for temporary employees?

Mid-Cal handles payroll, applicable employer payroll taxes, and workers’ compensation coverage for its temporary employees, and offers both traditional and electronic timekeeping options. Employees can access assignment details, schedules, and pay information online, and Mid-Cal’s compliance resources support wage-and-hour, drug-testing, and other employment-related matters.

Where does Mid-Cal Labor Solutions operate?

Mid-Cal Labor Solutions has recruiting teams in Bakersfield and Fresno, California, and recruiting resources in Odessa, Texas, and Carlsbad, New Mexico.
