MANUFACTURING STAFFING
Your Shop. Our Workforce.
RIO provides welding, CNC, fabrication, and production support staffing for manufacturing shops across DFW — at support rates competitors can't match.
WHY RIO
Built From Real Shop Experience
Republic Industrial Operations was built from real DFW industrial projects — not a staffing franchise. Every rate and process was designed around how manufacturing shops actually operate.
Transparent Pricing
Competitors charge 40–60% markups. RIO operates at 25–35% — a rate built from real shop economics, not overhead bloat.
On-Site Interviews
You meet candidates before they start. No blind placements. Most clients have workers on site within 48 hours of interview.
Written Terms First
No floor hours, no labor invoice before the agreement is complete. All support terms are in writing before day one.
Standard Transition Window
Convert any worker to direct hire after 90 working days — completely free. Day 46–89: 15% fee. Day 0–45: 30% fee.
SUPPORT RATE MODEL
Four Support Lanes
Your support rate is determined by the role — not negotiated after the fact. Rate = base pay × support multiplier.
Competitors operate at 40–60%. RIO operates at 25–35%.
