The second-largest city in Michigan, Grand Rapids is one of the top manufacturers of automobile parts in the country. Currently accounting for 15% of all jobs in the West Michigan region — compared with 8.5% in the United States as a whole, manufacturing remains the heart of West Michigan’s economy.  

Given this environment it's no surprise that manufacturing and warehousing/distribution companies in Grand Rapids have adopted on-demand labor as a new way of operating. Our on-demand marketplace for warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics labor connects businesses with high-quality workers at the click of a button, enabling them to create a flexible extension of their fixed workforce called a labor pool. Building your labor pool enables higher productivity and a competitive edge.  For workers, Veryable provides immediate access to work, the ability to control their own schedule, opportunities to build new skills, and best of all, next-day pay. 

The makers and movers of the United States are finally making a stand and building our productive capacity back as the reshoring movement gains traction. Revitalizing manufacturing is a team effort that will benefit our communities for years to come. Join the revolution.

It's time to make. Your way.

"We seem to get a better quality of workers than we find through local staffing agencies. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Veryable."

"Veryable has been an incredible partner for flexible labor to help make sure our locations consistently have the manpower they need to help drive our revenue."
Jim F
VP of Retail Operations, Goodwill
"When Veryable came in, it really helped us out by giving us the flexibility of being able to pick our people, even the same day. If I get up in the morning and go, 'Oh geez, I need 10 more people,' and post an opportunity for 10 people, I might have 25 people bid. The pool of people Veryable has just makes it totally easy to meet my goals.”
Don Benson
LSO Dallas
“If they don't have to stop and do criteria checks on every part that comes out, then they're able to produce more parts in the machine. That takes a lot of weight off our full-time employees."
Mickey Raynlha
Mack Tool & Engineering
"Veryable gave the operation more flexibility and has allowed us to be able to react to demand more efficiently"
Christopher Couture, GM

“As operators come in and spend more time in our production facility, they are able to learn different positions. They may be on this machine today, tomorrow they may be on a different machine and it’s a win-win. When having a sudden increase in production and being able to bring in operators’ day-to-day, we don’t have to continuously train new people on a daily basis, they’ve already been there, they’ve already done that."
Chris Akins
United Plastics Group
"Where before, we were having a hard time getting everything done and getting the trucks out on time, now we're getting them out not only on time, but early ... and some nights, very early. It's been a huge difference.”
Steve MacMunn, Operations Manager
Gold Coast Eagle Distributing
