How a placement works
Four steps from your request to a trained worker on your floor.
You send the job order
Role, number of workers, shift, pay rate and start date. We'll review it with you by phone.
We recruit and screen
Every applicant is checked against your job description. Only qualified candidates move forward.
5R Academy trains and certifies
Before the first shift, at no cost to you. Workers arrive with a Door to Floor Ready certificate and know how a disciplined floor runs.
We place and follow up
We check in with you and the worker so small problems get fixed before they turn into turnover.
Door to Floor Ready: trained and certified before day one.
Every Manns & Associates associate completes five short, interactive courses from our training partner, 5R Academy, on their phone before their first shift. Each one earns a Door to Floor Ready certificate to hand their supervisor on day one, so you know exactly what they've learned.
Always at no cost to you or the associate.

Why we're different
Built by someone who has run the floor and worked on it.
Marquise Manns has spent more than 35 years leading manufacturing and logistics operations. In March 2020 he took a four-month assignment as a temporary machine operator to see firsthand why so many temporary workers leave.
What he learned shaped this company. Workers stay when they know what's expected and how the work is organized. That's why every person we place is trained and certified before their first shift, and why we screen against your actual job description rather than a generic checklist.
“I don’t just place temporary workers. I’ve been one.”
Lean training for your own team
