History
Established in 1997.
With a vision of providing the best temporary workers to the community and stable work assignments to hard working blue collar temps, Direct Labor opened its first office on January 1, 1997 Focusing on the area’s large wholesale nurseries, as well as the rapidly expanding construction industry in Washington County, we quickly became a major player in the temporary labor industry.
With revenues of over 1 million in the first year of operations, Direct Labor opened another branch at 845 N. Pacific Hwy in Woodburn, Oregon in July 1998 and purchased an office at 243 West Main, Hillsboro, Oregon. We have since moved from our Main street location to a larger building located at 1049 SW Baseline Bldg C # 375, Hillsboro OR 97 123. The purpose for our move, although multi-faceted, was primarily to accommodate our continued growth and dedication to providing superior services to all our clientele.
