Garden-style apartment community and leasing office entrance — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group recruits groundskeepers, porters, make-ready technicians, and turn technicians for apartment and multifamily communities across Metro Detroit.
Candidates drive by before they apply, and prospects drive by before they tour. Grounds and turns are where a property’s first impression is made or lost, and they are also where a slow turn quietly becomes a missed move-in date. We screen for reliability, pace on a punch list, and whether a candidate can handle the minor plumbing, electrical, drywall, and paint that make-ready actually involves.

What groundskeepers and make-ready techs do on your site

Groundskeepers and porters maintain the grounds, common areas, trash, snow, and exterior upkeep that set curb appeal. Make-ready and turn technicians take a vacant unit from move-out inspection through punch list, paint, repairs, fixture and appliance swaps, and cleaning to move-in ready.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›Grounds maintenance, landscaping, and curb appeal
  • ›Common areas, trash removal, and snow removal
  • ›Apartment turns, punch lists, and vacant unit preparation
  • ›Painting, drywall repair, minor plumbing and electrical
  • ›Fixture and appliance installation, cleaning, and move-in readiness

Why ISG for this hire

Recruiters who understand the work — not keyword-matchers.
🔧

Recruiters who have done the work

Our maintenance screening comes from decades of placing industrial trades. EPA 608, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing diagnostics transfer straight to a property.

🔍

Screening past the resume

"Used Yardi" and "ran month-end in Yardi Voyager" are different jobs. We ask the workflow question, and we verify certifications instead of accepting them.

🤝

A long-term partner

We're built for quality, lasting hires and client relationships, not transactional fill-and-bill placements.

🏢

Built for owner-operators

We speak the language of regional operators and owner-managed portfolios that don't have an internal recruiting team.

Property Management Staffing — FAQ

These are typically the fastest property seats we fill, and contract coverage for a turn surge can often start within days. Schedule, seasonal snow expectations, and pay rate still decide who says yes.

How fast can you staff groundskeepers or make-ready techs?
These are typically the fastest property seats we fill, and contract coverage for a turn surge can often start within days. Schedule, seasonal snow expectations, and pay rate still decide who says yes.
Do make-ready techs need trade certifications?
Usually not, but the good ones handle minor plumbing, electrical, drywall, and paint without calling the maintenance tech. We screen for that range and for pace on a punch list. When a seat also covers HVAC, we route it to our maintenance technician bench.
Can you cover a seasonal or lease-up surge?
Yes. Contract and temp-to-hire are the common models here — extra hands for spring and summer turns, snow season, or a lease-up, with the option to convert the ones who show up every day.
Do you screen for reliability?
It is the main thing we screen for. Attendance history, how they handled an on-call or weekend rotation, and references from a supervisor who saw them on a bad-weather week.
