Staffing & jobs in Akron.

Yes. Lingo Staffing's Akron branch staffs Akron & Northeast Ohio, connecting local employers with reliable workers and helping job seekers find work nearby.

Our Akron team staffs across Northeast Ohio — Akron and Canton through the Cleveland-area distribution corridor — placing production, warehouse, manufacturing, and clerical workers for local employers.

Browse current openings and apply online, or call the Akron branch directly. Working with Lingo is always free for job seekers — staffing agencies are paid by the employers who hire, never by the workers — and we pay weekly.

Tell the Akron branch the roles, shift, and headcount you need. We recruit and screen to your spec and handle payroll, taxes, and workers' comp for the people we place.

Most Akron-area warehouse and light-industrial assignments typically pay $15 to $18 an hour, depending on the role, shift, and experience. Lingo pays weekly, and skilled or specialized roles run higher.

Fast — we usually fill open roles the same week, and often as soon as the next day, because our Akron team keeps a screened local bench ready to work.

For common light-industrial roles — warehouse associates, machine operators, assemblers, material handlers — Lingo typically places workers the same week, and often the next day. Speed depends on the role, shift, and how many people you need, so the best move is to submit a request with your start date and let the Akron team confirm a realistic timeline before you commit.

Ask three things: how candidates are screened before they reach your floor, how quickly a no-show or poor fit gets replaced, and whether the recruiter handling your account actually works the Akron market. A local bench of pre-screened workers matters more than a national brand name — fill speed comes from knowing who is available in Summit County this week, not from a bigger database.

Yes. Workers on temporary assignment through Lingo are on Lingo's payroll — we handle wages, tax withholding, and the employment paperwork while they work at your site. If you later bring someone on full time through a temp-to-hire arrangement, the move from our payroll to yours is a straightforward transition.

Fill out the Quick Apply form on this page — it takes a few minutes and a resume is optional. A recruiter from the Akron/Canton office will contact you about warehouse, distribution, and production openings that match your experience and preferred shift. There is no fee to apply or to work on assignment through Lingo, and pay is weekly.

Both paths exist. Some temp jobs in Akron are genuinely short-term — seasonal ramps, project work, coverage for a leave of absence. Many others are temp-to-hire, where the employer evaluates you on the job and can extend a full-time offer. Direct hire placements are also available. Tell your recruiter what you are looking for so they match you to the right kind of assignment.

Both. Alongside temporary staffing and temp-to-hire, Lingo runs direct hire recruiting in Akron for roles you want on your own payroll from day one — leads, supervisors, and experienced operators. We learn the job requirements and company culture, recruit and pre-screen candidates, and present a short list, which also reaches candidates who are currently employed and not watching job boards.
