Do you cover Hartville, Alliance and North Canton?

How quickly can you start people at a Canton plant?
Straight from our records: of the Akron branch’s orders since 2024, half had a first worker on the job within 5 days and 68% within a week, and the branch has put as many as 46 new people to work in a single week. A first order at a Stark County site we have not staffed before can take a few extra days while we recruit near it.
Can Lingo cover second and third shift in Stark County?
Yes. Our Hartville and Alliance production orders have included second- and third-shift operators, so off-shift hiring is routine for this team. We recruit for the hours you actually run and refill seats when people leave.
Can we hire a Lingo worker permanently?
Yes. Temp-to-hire lets you watch someone run your line before you make an offer; until then Lingo is their employer and covers payroll, taxes and workers’ compensation. We also recruit for direct hire.
