In short: Five staffing agencies for employers in and around Southfield, MI: RHO Hiring, Surge Staffing, PrideStaff Detroit (West), Diversified Employment Services and Transnational Staffing.

Southfield is home: we have an office located on 9 Mile Road, with appointments available for visits. Call (248) 843-0000.

Why RHO Hiring comes first for staffing in Southfield

RHO is based out of Southfield. Our office is located on 9 Mile Road. That means the owners and the managers of your account are minutes away from your location, and we welcome you to schedule an appointment to meet with us anytime during business hours. Southfield is known for its skyscrapers but where RHO does its work is on the ground level: the warehouses, light industrial buildings and production facilities both inside and outside the city, and the factories of the surrounding suburbs. They need quality workers to show up on their next shift and someone local who picks up the phone. A locally owned agency right down the road is what provides them that: a manager who typically returns your call within a couple of hours, workers that are ready for your facility before they step out the door, and owners that sit down with you.

  • 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.

  • Right here in Southfield

    Our office is located on 9 Mile Road, just minutes from your location. We are open by appointment from Monday through 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.

“We, as owners, come in and work directly with our clients.”

Vadym MakoveyCo-Founder, RHO Hiring

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.
