Tidewater Staffing

Tidewater Staffing is a specialist recruitment agency serving the Hampton Roads region of southeast Virginia since 1992. The company provides comprehensive workforce solutions for ship repair, manufacturing, and warehouse employers, offering both temporary staffing and permanent placement services. Tidewater Staffing distinguishes itself through a commitment to quality, compliance, and client service, with all employees undergoing drug screening, background checks, and E-verification before placement. The agency provides onsite OSHA compliance safety programmes, ensures ACA and wage determination compliance, and offers personal protective equipment provision alongside coordinator-assisted check-ins.

Tidewater Staffing specialises across three core sectors. In shipyard and ship repair, the agency supplies marine personnel ranging from front office professionals to highly skilled tradesmen. The warehouse and logistics division provides warehouse managers, front office staff, forklift operators, and stock order pickers to meet operational demands. Within manufacturing, Tidewater Staffing addresses workforce challenges from heavy labour roles to in-house recruitment needs, ensuring employers can access the skilled personnel required for production environments.

The agency operates five office locations across southeast Virginia, strategically positioned in Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Newport News to serve the Hampton Roads market. Tidewater Staffing's competitive advantages include absolutely no hiring fees, in-house accounting, human resources, and safety departments available to resolve client issues, and a reputation built on reliability and professionalism. Clients consistently praise the agency's ability to fill positions rapidly, handle staffing from single placements to teams of 30 or more, and facilitate transitions from temporary to permanent employment, establishing Tidewater Staffing as a long-term partnership rather than a transactional service provider.
