About Humanity First Employment

​

Founded in September 2024, Humanity First Employment helps manufacturers find qualified and reliable talent for their roles.

​

 Our Vision & Mission

​

We are committed to building a community where every individual has access to meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities. By connecting manufacturers with qualified, dependable, and motivated candidates, we help address labor shortages, improve retention, and contribute to regional economic growth.

​

The Challenge

​

The manufacturing sector is facing several challenges including, understaffed shifts, high turnover, difficulty finding workers who can consistently work 40+ hours per week and overtime, an aging workforce and widening technical skills gap, fewer young people entering the trades or manufacturing sector and concerns about workforce eligibility and compliance. As experienced workers retire and younger generations pursue careers outside of traditional trades, employers are left with growing vacancies and higher turnover. We’re here to bridge that gap, ethically, affordably, and effectively.

​

Our Service

​

We create lasting employment connections that help employers succeed while advancing economic inclusion. Our placement services include recruitment, screening, onboarding, compliance, retention, and integration support, ensuring all employees can thrive, including individuals with limited English proficiency. Services start at a standard rate of $300, with pricing adjusted based on company size for skilled roles. For advanced roles, fees are 15% of the candidate’s first year salary.

​

Why Trust Us

​

Our founder knows the challenges local manufacturing companies face, having worked as a Job Developer at the International Institute and as a Human Rights Investigator at the Missouri Commission on Human Rights under the Department of Labor, gaining deep expertise in federal labor laws. We provide pre-vetted candidates from diverse backgrounds and offer a free replacement if a placement doesn’t work out.

​

Our Culture

​

Our work is guided by six core values that shape how we engage with employers, job seekers, and the communities we serve: Integrity, Compassion, Emotional Intelligence, Adaptability, Humility and Patience. These values are the foundation of how we build trust, support retention, and create sustainable employment success.
