Finding the Right Talent in Grand Junction: Your Local Staffing Partner

We’re Here to Help!

After working in talent acquisition for over two decades here in Grand Junction, I’ve seen firsthand how challenging it can be to find the right people in our unique Western Slope job market. Just last month, I was helping a local manufacturing company near the Colorado River that had been struggling for months to fill specialized positions. They had tried the usual job boards and were getting nowhere – sound familiar?

The Western Slope presents distinctive staffing challenges that big national agencies simply don’t understand. From the seasonal fluctuations that affect our hospitality businesses along Horizon Drive to the specialized skills needed in our energy sector, finding qualified candidates requires local expertise and deep community connections.

At USC Labor, we’ve been Grand Junction’s trusted talent agency since 1998, developing relationships throughout Mesa County and beyond. We understand the unique employment landscape of our community – from the technical skills needed at businesses in the Business Loop area to the customer service excellence required in our downtown establishments.

When you’re struggling to find qualified candidates or don’t have time to sort through stacks of applications, our talent agency services provide the local solution you need. We’ve built our reputation by connecting Grand Junction businesses with pre-screened, qualified professionals ready to contribute from day one.

How much do talent agencies charge?

As a talent agency deeply rooted in the Grand Junction community, we structure our fees to provide maximum value while remaining competitive for local businesses. Our pricing typically varies based on the type of position, level of specialization required, and whether you’re seeking temporary or permanent placement. Rather than charging upfront fees to businesses, we generally work on a contingency basis for permanent placements, meaning you only pay when we successfully find the right candidate for your position. For temporary staffing, we typically use a rate-based structure that includes all employer costs while remaining transparent about the markup. I’d be happy to provide a customized quote based on your specific staffing needs.
