Company Description
Working Fields was a Vermont-based staffing agency that, for nine years, focused on expanding access to employment for individuals facing barriers to work and on helping regional employers build inclusive, reliable teams. Throughout its operating years, the organization placed more than 2,500 people into meaningful employment, supporting both short-term assignments and longer-term opportunities, and paired every engagement with wraparound support delivered by a dedicated Account Management team and trained Peer Coaches who walked alongside jobseekers throughout the process. Its model was intentionally relationship-driven: Working Fields collaborated closely with employer partners who believed in second chances, with referring community organizations that entrusted their clients, and with candidates seeking stability and growth, aligning expectations, coaching toward success on the job, and intervening early to address challenges that might otherwise lead to turnover. As a full-service staffing partner, the firm handled recruitment, screening, onboarding, and assignment management while maintaining regular check-ins to promote retention and performance, emphasizing clear communication among associates, coaches, and hiring managers. The coaching model reinforced practical supports such as goal setting, attendance accountability, and problem-solving, ensuring that candidates had both the opportunity and the guidance needed to succeed at work. Despite strong mission alignment and measurable community impact, Working Fields announced it would discontinue operations due to financial constraints, expressing deep gratitude to the associates, clients, employees, and referring partners who sustained the mission. To help preserve continuity for employers and jobseekers, the founder recommended transitioning relationships to First Step Staffing, a mission-driven nonprofit staffing firm with a proven national track record, reflecting a commitment to seeing the work continue even as the business winds down. The legacy of Working Fields is defined by its belief that talent is widely distributed while opportunity is not, and by a practical approach that combines employment with accountability, encouragement, and consistent follow-through to help people thrive; although the company has closed, its influence endures in the thousands of careers it helped launch and in the partners now equipped to sustain inclusive hiring.
