Fill Open Roles Across South Carolina
Most South Carolina employers looking for a staffing company have already tried the job boards. The role is still open, overtime is climbing, and the people covering it are stretched thin. Across the state, there’s now roughly one unemployed person for every open job, so the person you need is very likely working somewhere else today.
Landrum Workforce Solutions staffs employees throughout South Carolina, and choosing a staffing company should come down to who knows your market and who stands behind the placement. We recruit across the state year-round, so we can bring you screened, ready-to-work candidates instead of starting another job posting from scratch.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) benchmarks a non-executive hire at a median of 39 calendar days, and in a market with about one job seeker for every opening, 39 days is an optimistic place to start.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average weekly wage in South Carolina was $1,276 in the fourth quarter of 2025, so the overtime and the lost output behind one open role add up well before you find the person you want.

Staffing in South Carolina: What You Need to Know
Staffing companies in South Carolina recruit, screen, and employ the people they place with local businesses.
A staffing company functions as the employer of record, so it carries payroll and employment taxes, and verifies each new hire through E-Verify within the three business days state law allows.
Being the employer of record is what lets us move quickly when you’re short-staffed and the work still has to get done.
With Landrum, you can:
Every one of these starts the same way; with a conversation about the roles you’re trying to fill and when you need them covered.

Top Hiring Challenges for South Carolina Employers
Here are the ones we hear most from employers across the state, and what we do about each one.
Who Carries What Roles & Responsibilities?
Most staffing companies tell you who they’re sending. Fewer are clear about where the employer obligations land once that person is working at your site. On a Landrum placement most of them stay with us, because the people we place are our employees. What stays with you is the day-to-day work.
We walk through everything with you before the first person starts, including the breakdown of responsibilities.

FAQ: South Carolina Staffing Company
Yes. South Carolina requires every private employer in the state to verify each new hire through E-Verify within three business days of employment. Under E-Verify’s own guidance, the staffing company verifies the people it places, so we run that check on everyone we send you.
Timing depends on the role, the shift, and the pay, and we will give you a realistic timeline before you commit. For context, the median time to fill a non-executive role nationally is 39 calendar days. We are usually faster on roles we recruit for regularly, because we are already talking to those candidates.
A temporary placement covers short-term or flexible needs, and the person stays on our payroll for the agreed hours. A direct-hire placement is permanent: we recruit and screen, and the person is hired onto your payroll from the start. Some roles come with a replacement guarantee, and we’ll tell you whether yours does before you commit.
Yes. Many employers start someone on a temporary basis, see the work, and then move that person onto their own payroll. It is the most reliable way to judge fit, because you are evaluating the work rather than a resume and one interview.
In South Carolina the consequence runs against your operating licenses, not a fine. Under the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act, a first violation brings a year of probation and a later one brings license suspension of 10 to 30 days. Federal penalties for Form I-9 paperwork run separately, from $288 to $2,861 per individual. E-Verify’s guidance puts that check on the staffing company, so we run it on everyone we place.
Both. Temporary and contract placements exist for work that arrives in peaks: you get people for the weeks or months you need them, and they stay on our payroll for the agreed hours. When the hiring is large enough, or the shifts complex enough, that coordinating it becomes its own job, our on-site staffing program places a dedicated Landrum team in your facility to run recruiting, onboarding, and the daily workforce coordination.
