RI Temps, Inc.

RI Temps, Inc. is a locally owned staffing firm dedicated to serving Rhode Island employers and job seekers with flexible, reliable workforce solutions across temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire needs. As a Rhode Island company made up of Rhode Island workers, the team understands local market dynamics and the practical challenges businesses face when production spikes, employees take leave, second shifts are added, or a new contract is won. RI Temps focuses on delivering qualified, experienced employees through an accurate and reliable skills evaluation process, maintaining close communication with each client to ensure precise job-to-candidate fit. The firm assumes full employer-of-record responsibilities for its temporary workforce—handling federal and state tax withholdings, workers’ compensation, unemployment and disability insurance, FICA, year-end W-2s, and I-9 compliance with E-Verify—reducing HR paperwork and future liabilities for client organizations, and carrying general liability, workers’ compensation, and employer’s liability insurance on all temporary employees. Job seekers benefit from a personable, long-term approach that includes paid holidays and skills enhancement training in computer and word processing, contributing to strong retention and an active referral culture spanning families and friends. RI Temps supports roles commonly found in office and professional environments—such as executive assistants, administrative assistants, HR, customer service, accounts payable/receivable, data specialists, and finance leaders—as well as industry-specific and operational positions including dental receptionists, insurance underwriting and claims auditors, and maintenance technicians. The firm posts current opportunities statewide and invites candidates to submit resumes for consideration, while employers can quickly engage the team to keep workflows moving without permanently expanding headcount. For direct hires, RI Temps partners through its RI Personnel brand to provide seamless recruitment coverage beyond temporary placements. Known as Rhode Island’s #1 staffing choice, the company combines compliance rigor, responsive service, and local insight to deliver dependable talent and measurable business value across the Ocean State.
