HireQuest has come down in its fortunes.
I used to recommend it even though it didn’t offer transportation, to people who are busing or bicycling from the North side.
But the agency has lost a few clients — the very ones whose jobs I could take. They lost the contract with the best garbage company in the city, their temp-to-hire job.
These companies have opted for a different staffing service, or none at all. A few of them went out of business.
So HireQuest has downsized to this cozy and usually vacant premise. No more than two workers come in person, only via phone.
There still is free coffee, water, and a clean, well-stocked inside restroom. There are at least two employees and one of them speaks Spanish.
(I don’t know if Roger and Daniel have worked here since 2023.)
