When manufacturers and distribution centers work with a staffing partner, they’re not just filling shifts — they’re managing cost, risk, and efficiency across their entire operation. Whether scaling up for seasonal demand or replacing turnover on the line, employers have clear financial goals in mind when choosing a staffing firm.
Here’s a look at what clients like you want most and how Doherty Staffing Solutions helps deliver on those expectations.
Transparent, Predictable Costs
In high-volume environments, knowing your labor cost per hour is critical. Clients want to understand exactly what they’re paying, including employee wages, taxes, benefits, workers’ compensation, and the staffing agency’s fees, without any hidden charges.
At Doherty, our hourly bill rate model is simple and clearly outlined upfront. You’ll know the pay rate, the markup percentage, and what that markup includes. That clarity helps you build accurate forecasts and control workforce spend.
Transferred Risk and Liability
Hiring directly comes with legal and financial obligations, and in today’s regulatory environment, that risk adds up. When Doherty serves as the Employer of Record (EOR), we handle employment responsibilities like payroll taxes, unemployment claims, ACA compliance, and workers’ compensation insurance.
If, for example, a forklift operator is injured on the job or an assignment ends unexpectedly, we manage the claim and any associated paperwork. You gain the workforce support without the liability that comes with being the legal employer.

Operational Efficiency
Time-to-fill matters, especially when open roles lead to lost production. Doherty helps streamline your hiring process so you can staff efficiently and meet demand without delays. Whether you need 5 people for a third shift or 50 for a seasonal ramp-up, our recruiting engine is built for speed and scale.
Temporary staffing also gives you workforce flexibility without long-term commitments. If your staffing needs fluctuate with production volume, we help you stay agile without carrying unnecessary overhead.

Staffing isn’t just a labor solution, it’s a financial strategy. When clients work with a staffing partner like Doherty, they gain more than access to talent. They gain a partner that understands the pressures of manufacturing and logistics operations and delivers workforce solutions that align with their financial goals.
