I was on my feet for 9 hours and thirty minutes. But when I told them I didn't want the assignment no more. They told me that they used to work for twelve hours and only got a twenty minute lunch break. And chris , the director, told me that he used to work at bowling and he was lucky to get a lunch break. Christina told me that this was a really good company to work for. But she lied, and there were a lot of other things she lied about.. And to be honest I had to wait for a month or 2 to get the job. because the company was not trying to get back in touch with 👉🏾Lingo Staffing👈🏾. This is not a good Staffing service to go through. And they will hire anybody and I mean anybody. A Christina is not who you think she is behind closed doors.She talks about you and she makes you feel so little. And chris the director he backs her up. Because I think he has feelings for her outside of work. If you know what I mean.
Our Staffing Solutions

Our flexible hiring options adapt to changing demands. Our team helps your business fill positions quickly with skilled professionals who bring value and reliability to your workplace.
Why Akron is a staffing-heavy market
Akron earned its “Rubber City” name from Goodyear and the tire giants, and that DNA never left — it evolved into a deep base of polymers, plastics, and advanced-materials manufacturing, fabricated metals, and the distribution operations feeding the Akron–Canton–Cleveland triangle. Add the region’s large healthcare systems pulling from the same workforce, and demand for production and warehouse labor stays steady across Summit County year-round.
What employers are up against here
Three sectors fish from one labor pool: legacy and advanced manufacturers, the big healthcare employers, and the distribution centers moving goods across Northeast Ohio. Post a machine-operator or warehouse role on a job board and you’re competing with all three at once — and the dependable candidates are gone within days. The employers who stay staffed work with a partner who keeps a pre-screened local bench instead of starting cold.
What it means if you’re looking for work
Steady demand across extrusion, molding, and machine operation, assembly, warehouse, and material-handling means consistent local work from Akron and Canton up into the southern Cleveland market — weekly pay, a recruiter who knows the plants and the shifts, and no fees, ever.
Our temporary staffing solutions give your business the flexibility to fill short-term gaps without long-term commitments. Whether you need seasonal workers, project-based support, or coverage for absences, you get dependable, qualified professionals ready to step in.
Temp to Hire or Contract-to-Hire allows you to evaluate a Lingo employee at your location in actual work conditions before committing to a full-time hire. When you are ready to make an offer, the transition from our payroll to yours is seamless.
Find the right long-term fit with our permanent placement staffing service. Job seekers connect with companies offering stable, full-time positions, while employers gain access to qualified candidates ready to contribute. We streamline the hiring process, matching skills and goals for lasting success .

Akron Staffing Agencies: Temp Services Built for the Rubber City
Lingo Staffing is one of the Akron staffing agencies that manufacturers and distributors across Summit County count on to fill shifts fast. Akron built its name on rubber and polymers, and that advanced-materials, plastics, and light-manufacturing base still drives hiring along the I-77 and I-76 corridors today, from Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls to Stow, Green, and into Canton.
Our Akron temp services put screened machine operators, assemblers, material handlers, warehouse associates, and production workers on your floor, temp, temp-to-hire, or direct hire, usually the same week and often the next day. When a polymer line, a distribution center, or a food-processing run needs people now, we move.
What temp services does Lingo offer in Akron?
Temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, and direct-hire placement for light-industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, and production roles across Akron and Summit County, including Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Green, and Canton.
Why do Akron employers use Lingo over other staffing agencies?
We know the Akron labor market, the polymer plants, the I-77 warehouses, the seasonal swings, and we back it with a 4.8-star record across 2,852 Google reviews. Local team, fast answers, workers who show up.
Staffing Solutions in Akron Built Around Your Production Calendar
Staffing Solutions in Akron Built Around Your Production Calendar
Most temporary agencies in Akron, Ohio can quote a bill rate. Fewer can plan headcount around the way Summit County actually runs — rotating shifts at polymer and plastics converters, changeover weeks in fabricated-metal shops, and fourth-quarter surges at the distribution operations that feed Northeast Ohio. Lingo builds staffing solutions in Akron around that calendar, so you order people ahead of the crunch instead of scrambling behind it.
Employers usually call temp agencies in Akron for one of five reasons, and our Akron temp services are set up for all of them:
- Seasonal ramps — extra pickers, packers, and material handlers for peak distribution volume without carrying permanent payroll into January
- Coverage — filling second- and third-shift gaps from vacations, medical leave, and no-shows before a line slows down
- Project surges — changeovers, rework, inventory counts, and plant cleanups that need extra hands for weeks, not years
- Temp-to-hire — evaluating a worker on your floor, in real conditions, before extending a full-time offer
- Direct hire recruiting — leads, supervisors, and experienced operators sourced and pre-screened so you interview only serious candidates
If you are comparing staffing agencies in Akron, OH, ask each one the same three questions: how workers are screened before day one, how fast a no-show gets replaced, and whether the recruiter on the phone actually works this market. Lingo's answer to the last one is simple — your order is handled from our Akron/Canton office by a team that covers these plants and warehouses every day, with full employment agency and staffing services support behind every placement.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can a temp agency in Akron, Ohio get workers on site?
For common light-industrial roles — warehouse associates, machine operators, assemblers, material handlers — Lingo typically places workers the same week, and often the next day. Speed depends on the role, shift, and how many people you need, so the best move is to submit a request with your start date and let the Akron team confirm a realistic timeline before you commit.
What should I look for when comparing staffing agencies in Akron?
Ask three things: how candidates are screened before they reach your floor, how quickly a no-show or poor fit gets replaced, and whether the recruiter handling your account actually works the Akron market. A local bench of pre-screened workers matters more than a national brand name — fill speed comes from knowing who is available in Summit County this week, not from a bigger database.
Do temporary agencies in Akron, Ohio handle payroll for temp workers?
Yes. Workers on temporary assignment through Lingo are on Lingo's payroll — we handle wages, tax withholding, and the employment paperwork while they work at your site. If you later bring someone on full time through a temp-to-hire arrangement, the move from our payroll to yours is a straightforward transition.
How do I find warehouse jobs in Akron, OH?
Fill out the Quick Apply form on this page — it takes a few minutes and a resume is optional. A recruiter from the Akron/Canton office will contact you about warehouse, distribution, and production openings that match your experience and preferred shift. There is no fee to apply or to work on assignment through Lingo, and pay is weekly.
Are temp jobs in Akron only short-term, or can they lead to full-time work?
Both paths exist. Some temp jobs in Akron are genuinely short-term — seasonal ramps, project work, coverage for a leave of absence. Many others are temp-to-hire, where the employer evaluates you on the job and can extend a full-time offer. Direct hire placements are also available. Tell your recruiter what you are looking for so they match you to the right kind of assignment.
Does Lingo offer direct hire recruiting in Akron, or only temp staffing?
Both. Alongside temporary staffing and temp-to-hire, Lingo runs direct hire recruiting in Akron for roles you want on your own payroll from day one — leads, supervisors, and experienced operators. We learn the job requirements and company culture, recruit and pre-screen candidates, and present a short list, which also reaches candidates who are currently employed and not watching job boards.
