Welcome to Metalskills

The Perfect Match

We all know that when you put on a pair of "miss matched socks", it is embarrassing, but when there is a miss match of skill on the job the stakes are higher! It will be a major cost to your company. At Metalskills, we guarantee a perfect match of skills for every job we fill to give our clients the best deal.

How do we do that? For Starters, we do not rely just on "resumes and reference checks" as other staffing companies do, but we go the extra mile by hands-on testing to make sure the applicant's skills are a perfect match for every job. We call this, "The Show Me Method of Staffing".

Welders are required to prove their welding skill by "actually welding" at one of our four testing and training centers. Machinists and other tradesmen, must prove their skill by passing rigorous assessment tests. Our welding and assessment examinations provide our clients with the final proof and guarantee that our applicants are "THE PERFECT MATCH" for the job.

Remember, if it's made of metal our "hands" can build it, perfectly!

Metalskills is an experienced staffing company dedicated to providing exceptionally skilled tradesmen for our clients.

Price vs Cost

Price is simply the dollar amount you pay for a service. It is not a clear indication of the resources and efforts associated with a service.

Cost is the price plus the value of the service. It encompasses not only added financial expenses, but also the time it takes to overcome setbacks and achieve the final result.

At Metalskills, we strive to deliver to our clients the lowest cost service.

We are able to assess, test, and train the right employee for the job, so our cost remains low even if our price is not the lowest at first glance. We provide our clients with what they need the first time to facilitate immediate production and value. Unlike many of our competitors who sell based on price, we use a "get it right the first time" approach to find the most qualified candidates and deliver quality employees at the lowest possible cost.
