Reach truck operator placing a pallet in high racking in a distribution warehouse — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group places material handlers and warehouse associates for manufacturers, distributors, and third-party logistics operations across Metro Detroit.
Material handling is the job nobody notices until it stops. One picker short on first shift and line-side runs dry by mid-morning; two short and a truck misses its dock window. Volume roles like this fail on attendance far more often than on aptitude, so we screen shift, transportation, and work history as hard as we screen equipment tickets.

What a material handler does on your floor

Material handlers move product and parts through the building: receiving and put-away, picking, packing, kitting, line-side replenishment, and staging for outbound. They run forklifts, reach trucks, and pallet jacks, and they post the transactions that keep your WMS matching the rack.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›Shipping, receiving, and dock operations
  • ›Picking, packing, and order fulfillment
  • ›Kitting and line-side replenishment
  • ›Forklift, reach truck, and pallet jack operation
  • ›Cycle counting and inventory transactions

Manufacturing & Skilled Trades Staffing — FAQ

Usually a vetted shortlist within days, and we can stage a group start for a ramp or a peak week. We keep a local warehouse bench active rather than starting from a job post.

How fast can you staff warehouse and material handler roles in Metro Detroit?
Usually a vetted shortlist within days, and we can stage a group start for a ramp or a peak week. We keep a local warehouse bench active rather than starting from a job post.
Do your candidates come forklift certified?
We verify current certification and the specific equipment. A sit-down ticket does not make someone safe on a reach truck in a narrow aisle, so we confirm what they actually ran and for how long.
Do you screen for WMS and RF scanner experience?
Yes. We ask which system they worked in, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, or a site-specific WMS, and whether they posted their own scanner transactions. A handler who has never closed a receipt hands you inventory drift at month-end.
How do you screen for attendance and shift fit?
We confirm the shift, the commute, and the lifting requirements before an offer, and we review work history for the gap pattern that predicts a no-show. Off-shift and weekend coverage is scoped at intake.
