Long-term engagements
Find skilled technicians for long-term work through the Field Nation platform—without the delays or markups of traditional staffing firms.
Modern staff augmentation, powered by Field Nation
Looking for help on longer projects? Field Nation’s long-term engagement solution makes it easy to find skilled technicians for projects that span multiple weeks or months.
We help you find talent quickly through our marketplace, then our trusted third-party Employer of Record (EOR) onboards them as temporary W2 employees. The EOR handles payroll, tax paperwork, and benefits—while you continue to manage work orders and payments directly through the Field Nation platform.
Long-term support, without long-term headaches
- Faster time to hire: Traditional staffing firms can take up to 2 months to place long-term talent. Field Nation connects you with skilled W2 techs in days, not weeks.
- One platform, zero vendor sprawl: Manage both 1099 and temp W2 techs in one place, and keep invoicing centralized with Field Nation.
- Smart recruitment support: Staffing firms rely solely on resumes. We use real-world data from hundreds of thousands of work orders to surface technicians with proven field service experience on the platform. If resumes are required, we provide them alongside marketplace data.
- Transparent, market-competitive pricing: We clearly show the pay rate (what the technician earns) and the bill rate (your total cost). No hidden margins. No surprises.
Two ways to staff up
You bring the tech (also known as a pass-through engagement)
Already know who you want to work with? We’ll onboard them as a temp W2 through our third-party EOR.
We’ll surface the tech for you to screen (also known as a net-new recruitment)
Need help finding qualified candidates? We’ll surface techs from our marketplace with proven experience. You review, interview, and select the right fit. Our third-party EOR handles onboarding.
How we help you find the ideal candidate
When you have a long-term opportunity, we don’t just post it and hope for the best. We use your job description to surface technicians with relevant experience, so you can quickly screen and select the best fit for your needs.
- Job description-driven search: We start with the details you provide—skills required, site environment, equipment used, and more—and use those to search our marketplace.
- Data from hundreds of thousands of work orders: Our system analyzes technician history, past work types, ratings, and certifications to surface the strongest candidates for your review.
- Proactive outreach to qualified techs: We reach out directly to technicians with relevant experience and confirm their interest and availability to work as a temporary W2.
Field-tested use cases for long-term work
Whether you’re supporting enterprise rollouts or ongoing regional support, we help you staff projects that typically go to traditional staffing vendors. Common examples include:
- Work that spans multiple weeks or months (e.g. desktop/laptop support, data center maintenance or break-fix)
- Supplementing your W2 team
- Interim support during staffing transitions
- On-the-job or skills-based training
- Projects requiring supervision
- Assignments that need company-provided equipment or vehicles
Accelerating data center operations
A global tech company needed long-term support across 12 data centers to maintain and upgrade server and storage equipment. Field Nation helped onboard 10 temp W2s in days—not months—ensuring fast, consistent, high-quality service.
“Finding temporary W2s is as simple as sending an email. This is a lot easier than our current approval process for new job postings.”
