What does a welder staffing agency do?
A welder staffing agency sources, screens, verifies, and presents certified welders to employers. GlobalCybers is a permanent-only welder staffing agency, every placement is a full-time, direct hire onto your payroll. We verify each candidate’s AWS certification and weld-test qualifications against AWS registries and test-facility records before any shortlist, because no state issues a welding licence. RPO at $2,999/mo, or Direct Hire at 12–20% of first-year salary on a successful hire only.

Need temp or travel welders?
Here is why permanent placement usually costs less over a project: a staffing agency's hourly markup (typically 35–60%) is charged on every hour for as long as the role stays open, and each rotation means a fresh booth test, re-verifying certs, and re-running safety onboarding. A permanent, cert-verified welder is a one-time fee, holds your code quals on file, and stays through final inspection.

Levels We Place
Welder Levels & Specializations We Place
Credential Verification
Every Licence Verified Before Delivery
Unverified welders never appear on a shortlist. We check directly against the issuing authority, not self-reported documentation.
AWS certification & weld-test records
AWS Certified Welder cards confirmed against the AWS registry, and position/process qualifications (3G, 4G, 6G) confirmed with the accredited test facility, never self-reported. No state issues a welding licence, so certification is the credential that counts.
Code qualifications: D1.1 & ASME IX
Structural (AWS D1.1) and pressure/pipe (ASME Section IX) qualifications matched to your code work, with OSHA 10/30 safety cards verified against DOL-authorised provider records.
Background & drug screening
County, state, and federal checks run FCRA-compliant, plus 5- or 10-panel drug screening aligned to your shop or jobsite policy.
Right-to-work & E-Verify
Form I-9 completed and E-Verify confirmed before start date, so every welder placement is fully work-authorized.

Employer Value
What an Unfilled Welder Seat Costs, and How We Cut It
An open welder seat stalls fabrication, code inspections, and every assembly downstream. Here is what the delay costs, and how every GlobalCybers placement removes it.
A verified 3–5 shortlist of certified welders lands within 48 hours of a complete brief, instead of the weeks an open seat idles your fab line and slips delivery dates.
Every AWS certification and 6G qualification is confirmed with the registry or test facility before you see a profile, so candidates pass your weld test instead of burning a test booth day.
Pay only when you hire, at 12–20% of first-year salary. RPO is a flat $2,999/month for continuous welder hiring, with no per-hire fee.
If a placed welder leaves or is let go within 90 days, we source a replacement free, so one wrong hire does not cost you weeks of re-recruiting.
