Why RHO Hiring comes first for staffing in Royal Oak

Royal Oak is known more for its downtown and the hospital campus on 13 Mile than factories. But Royal Oak and its bordering cities have plenty of floors that need people: light industrial and service businesses on the edges of town, and nearby Madison Heights', Troy's and Ferndale's industrial parks. Employers want people who show up on time, ready to work day after day, shift after shift. RHO assigns folks to each location, preps them beforehand, and fills day, night and weekend shifts. The owners who will set up your account are about 16 minutes away.

• Locally owned, not a franchise

  RHO is owned by Vadym Makovey, George Makovey and Jackson Siersma and operated out of their own office in Southfield. There is no franchise office between you and the owners.

• The owners work with you

  Owners stay with clients from the first call to the shifts to come. You know who's working with you.

• A fast answer and a quick quote

  Call. You will be called back by a manager, typically within a couple of hours. Quoting is fast, allowing you to schedule your next shift.

• We learn your floor first

  Before anyone starts, RHO studies your facility's flow, shifts and volume so that the order fits the work.

• Workers matched to the job

  We match people to the site. Pickers and packers to pick lines. Operators to equipment. Loading teams to docks.

• Screened and trained on safety

  Employees are screened for reliability and conscientiousness, and are trained on safety prior to starting work.

• Ready for your site's rules

  We prepare workers for your site standards before they arrive on site. The first hour goes to work, not to questions.

• A management team on your account

  Our dedicated RHO management team remains on the account after the first shift and resolves problems fast.

• Day, night and weekend shifts

  We provide day, night, weekend and high volume shift coverage so you get qualified people on second shift and Saturday as well.

• Plans for peak season

  Recurring staffing plans for peak seasons, so the busy months don't start from zero.

• More than filling shifts

  Recruitment and staffing, workforce management, workforce analytics and fully managed staffing, when you want more than just bodies.

• About 16 minutes from Royal Oak

  Our office is in Southfield, 7 miles away, and open for visits by appointment, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

According to RHO's own stats: over 100 employees on assignment throughout Michigan, 48 large facilities serviced with our partners, over 200 commercial accounts and over 7 years in business supplying workers. The figures include RHO's direct clients and the clients it shares with its sister companies.

Locally owned, not a franchise

Several of the best-known names in staffing are national networks, and some of them work through franchised offices. RHO is neither. Vadym Makovey, George Makovey and Jackson Siersma own RHO Hiring LLC and we operate out of our own office located at 18000 W 9 Mile Rd in Southfield. That means the people who take your call are the people answering for your account.

That is the difference we believe separates us from others. The owners will come out to see how your floor operates, help determine who is going to fit your floor and hear about a problem directly from you instead of reading it in a report weeks later. Because the company is theirs, every account is theirs too, and so is every shift we pick up.

What direct ownership means on your floor

• The people who learned your floor stay on board after the first shift.
• Decisions regarding your account are made here in Southfield by individuals you know.
• A problem goes directly to someone who can help, and your problem is remedied quickly by the management team.
• Office hours are available for booking, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will meet face-to-face.
• One office, three companies: our sister companies, RCO Cleaning (commercial cleaning) and RMO Mitigation & Restoration (water, fire and mold restoration), work from the same address.
