Honest truth?
Most staffing agencies send you a resume and call it a day.
We've never been that agency.
Mixed Staffing was built in 2012 by a 24-year-old with $2,000 and a belief that people deserve better than a checkbox. That hasn't changed.
Here's what actually makes us different:
We see people, not just candidates. We place second-chance hires nobody else would call back. We help with resumes, transportation, housing, childcare, because life is complicated. We sit at 89% retention. Industry average? 45%.
That gap doesn't happen by accident.
It happens because we actually care what happens after the placement.
We're not here to fill a seat. We're here to change someone's situation, and find you an employee who genuinely wants to show up.
If that sounds different from what you've experienced before, it is.

In 2012, a 24-year-old woman started a staffing company with $2,000 and zero industry experience.
Just faith. A mission. And an absolute refusal to accept the way things had always been done.
That woman is our founder, Sara.
And being woman-owned isn't just a label we wear, it's why we do things differently.
It's why we see potential where others see risk. It's why we fight for the candidate nobody else called back. It's why we built an entire company around the belief that people deserve a real shot.
Women-owned businesses don't just fill seats. We build tables.
From a 4×4 cubicle to 12+ years of changing lives across Michigan, this is what happens when you lead with purpose over profit.
We're Mixed Staffing. And we're just getting started.

Ever applied somewhere and just…heard nothing?
Yeah. We hate that too.
Here's what actually happens after you apply with Mixed Staffing:
-We review your application...like, a real person does
-We reach out to set up a conversation (not an interrogation)
-We learn what YOU actually want from your next job
-We match you with roles that fit your skills AND your life
-We support you even after you start, because our job doesn't stop at placement
No ghosting. No runaround. No "we'll keep your resume on file" nonsense.
Just real people helping real people find real work.
Whether you're in manufacturing, healthcare, or professional services, we've got something for you.

Most staffing agencies find you a job and wish you good luck.
We don't do that.
Because we know life doesn't pause just because you started a new position. Bills still come. Rides still fall through. Kids still need care.
That's exactly why we built our Employee Support Portal, and it's free for every single person we place.
Here's what's inside:
Transportation: GR Car Share, vanpool, Uber support
Housing: connected to real West Michigan resources
Childcare: help applying for assistance
Legal support: affordable & free legal help
Food & basic needs: SNAP, food pantries, clothing
Utilities & bills: heat, electricity, water assistance
Financial coaching: credit, debt, banking 1 on 1
Mental health: wellness, anxiety support, peer accountability
No judgment. Full confidentiality. 24/7.
This is what actually supporting people looks like.
Not just a paycheck, a real path forward.

Every name on this wall has a story.
Someone who was told "not right now." Someone who had a gap on their resume. Someone who just needed one person to believe in them.
And they showed up. Every single day.
That wall isn't just decoration, it's proof that when you look past a checkbox and see a person, something incredible happens.
13 years. Thousands of placements. An 89% retention rate.
But honestly? The number we're most proud of is harder to measure.
It's the single mom who's been employed for 22 months. The veteran who just got promoted to shift supervisor. The person who said Mixed changed everything for them.
That's why we do this.
If your hiring process is filtering people out before you even meet them, let's talk.
We find the talent others walk past.

89% retention rate.
The industry average? 45%.
People always ask us, how?
Honestly… it's not one thing. It's everything.
It's answering the phone when a candidate needs help at 7pm. It's helping someone find transportation so they don't lose a job over a bus route. It's seeing a person, not just a placement.
Since 2012, 65% of our hires have been second-chance candidates. People others passed on. People who just needed someone to believe the resume isn't the whole story.
And when you treat people like they matter?
They show up. They stay. They grow.
That's not a staffing strategy. That's just doing it right.

Some meetings are about problems.
This one's about YOU.
At Mixed Staffing, we don't just place people in jobs and move on. We check in. We follow up. And when you hit a milestone, a promotion, a year on the job, a personal win, we genuinely celebrate it.
Because here's the thing nobody talks about in staffing…
The placement isn't the finish line. It's the starting line.
We've had employees call us just to say, "I never thought I'd be here. Thank you for believing in me first."
That's the meeting we live for.
If you're looking for a team that actually invests in your success, not just your resume,
We're right here. Link in bio: https://zurl.co/HEvMm

Monday morning at Mixed Staffing looks a little different.
No dread. No dragging feet.
Just the team pulling up the week's open roles, checking in on our job seekers, and asking the one question that drives everything we do,
"Who can we help get to work this week?"
That's it. That's the ritual.
Because behind every open position is a real person who needs a real opportunity. And behind every "we're hiring" is a company counting on us to find them someone great.
So yeah… we actually look forward to Mondays.
If you're job hunting or need quality hires in Michigan, slide into our DMs or hit the link in bio. We're already on it.

First day jitters? We got you.
Most staffing agencies hand you a job and wish you luck.
That's not how we do things at Mixed.
Before you ever walk through that door, we make sure you know:
-What the job actually looks like day one
-What to wear, what to bring, what to expect
-Who to talk to if something feels off
-That you've got a team behind you, not just a placement
We've been doing this since 2012, and the one thing we've learned?
Confidence on day one changes everything.
It's the difference between someone who quits after a week…and someone who gets promoted in six months.
You deserve to walk in ready. Not guessing.
That's what Mixed is here for.
