Why Appalachian Labor

The staffing partner that actually shows up.

A real person answers

Call and you get a person, not a bot or a voicemail loop. Leave a message or text and we call back fast.

Straight talk first

We tell you what we can fill and what we can't before you have to ask. We don't overpromise to win the job.

Filled by morning

Most requests are staffed by the next morning. A blown shift gets a replacement within the hour.

We don't quit till it's filled

A gap on your jobsite is our problem, not yours. We work the request until the right hands are on site.

2

We dispatch

We send vetted W-2 hands matched to the work, most requests staffed by next morning.

3

You approve hours

You confirm the hours. We handle payroll, taxes, and workers' comp. Keep the hands you want.

Quick Answers

Straight answers, fast.

QHow fast can you staff a job?
Most requests are filled by the next morning. Call before the afternoon and a same-day crew is often on the table.
QDo I get a real person on the phone?
Yes. Call and a person answers, or leave a message or text and we call back fast.
QAre workers W-2 or 1099?
Every worker is our W-2 employee. We carry the taxes and the workers' comp, not you.
QWhat if a worker doesn't show?
We move a replacement the same shift, usually within the hour.
QWhere do you dispatch?
Across the Tri-Cities: Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and Washington County.
