Our Story

HireQuest Direct is a leading on-demand staffing franchise with more than 120 locations across the United States, connecting businesses with dependable, work-ready labor when they need it most. Since our founding in 2003 when we operated as Trojan Labor we’ve built a reputation for delivering fast, reliable staffing solutions for construction, light industrial, and other labor-driven industries.

What began as a regional staffing powerhouse has grown into a nationwide network trusted by thousands of businesses each year and tens of thousands of employees looking for opportunity. Today, HireQuest Direct is proud to be recognized as a SIA Top 20 Staffing Company, a distinction that reflects our scale, reliability, and commitment to the industries we serve.

Built on a promise of service and safety, our mission is simple: deliver the right people at the right time. Through our network of locally owned offices and national resources, HireQuest Direct helps businesses stay productive while creating meaningful job opportunities in communities across the country.

That local foundation has grown into a nationwide workforce partner.
