Welder running a MIG bead on a steel weldment in full protective gear — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group places welders and fitter welders for manufacturers, machine builders, and fabrication shops across Metro Detroit.
An open welder seat stalls fabrication. Weldments back up in the queue, the assembly cells downstream run dry, and the ship date moves without anyone deciding to move it. So we screen on what actually predicts a good welder hire: the processes they run, the positions they can weld in, and the material they have run them on.

What a Welder does on your floor

Welders and fitter welders read the print, lay out and fit the parts, and run the bead — MIG, TIG, stick, or flux-cored — on structural steel, stainless, carbon, and aluminum, then clean up and inspect their own work.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-cored welding
  • ›Blueprint and weld symbol reading
  • ›Layout, fit-up, and tack welding
  • ›Oxy-fuel and plasma cutting
  • ›Visual weld inspection and repair welding

Manufacturing & Skilled Trades Staffing — FAQ

Usually a vetted shortlist within days. We keep an active local trades network instead of starting a search cold.

How fast can you place a welder in Metro Detroit?
Usually a vetted shortlist within days. We keep an active local trades network instead of starting a search cold.
Do you screen welders on process and position, or just the resume?
On process and position. We confirm which processes a welder runs production on, which positions, and on what material, and we scope any weld test you want run at intake.
Do candidates know AWS standards and ASME Section IX?
Yes. We screen for AWS standard familiarity, ASME Section IX procedure work, and CWI-level visual inspection habits where the job calls for it.
Contract or direct hire for welders?
Both, plus employee hosting. Contract fits a fabrication backlog or a shutdown; direct hire fits a permanent bench in your weld cell.
