Linda McDaid
Recruiting Consultant
My brother Ed started South Shore Staffing in 2004. His vision was to make a positive impact on people and businesses on the South Shore. After Ed unexpectedly passed away in 2013, I took the reins of his successful business.
True to his vision, we at South Shore Staffing are helping individuals and businesses find the right match for the right opportunity. South Shore Staffing is not like any other staffing firm. We have placed over 1,300 people in the community through a combination of superior service, caring and commitment. We take advantage of the technologies and best practices of the larger employment agencies and combine them with a passion for people.
I invite you to experience the South Shore Staffing difference … and let us make a positive impact for you!

What people are saying about
South Shore Staffing
South Shore Staffing is so successful at locating the right candidates that meet our job requirements. Not only that, but these candidates also come to us with exactly the right skills we need and require minimal on-the-job training which we so appreciate. South Shore Staffing also helps us find local candidates who fit in with our company’s culture. We continue to turn to them year after year for our staffing needs.
We have worked with South Shore Staffing for the last eight years. When we first started together, we used their services to secure temporary help for our busy seasons and special events. As we grew through the years, we turned to South Shore Staffing to help us find a more permanent, part-time employee. We have been so happy with the candidates they have found over the years. I think their results are so good because they listen to what we need, then suggest the appropriate candidates. They also always follow up and check-in for feedback–not only on the work being done but the individual they are representing. I would definitely recommend them to other hiring managers.
We typically use South Shore Staffing for temp-to-hire employees because this gives us a “trial” period to assess the new employee and determine if they are a good fit for the company. We prefer South Shore Staffing because they are very responsive, easy to work with, and they are local which is extremely convenient. And we love the idea of hiring local people for local companies; not only is this great for the area communities, but we have had negative experiences in the past hiring people that had too long a commute. I also love working with South Shore Staffing because I have had a certain comfort level from the moment I started working with them. This really makes for a very pleasant working experience throughout the entire process.
Natalie told us that she had a candidate who would be a perfect fit, and we were delighted to find out that the temp’s qualifications even exceeded Natalie’s description. Because of the nature of our work, we required some flexibility with the start and end dates, and South Shore Staffing was able to accommodate us. We trust South Shore Staffing’s assessment of their candidate’s qualifications, and we also like the fact that they focus on hiring and placing local candidates with local companies such as ours. South Shore Staffing stayed in touch with us throughout the hiring period to ensure that our needs were continually being met. We most definitely plan on using them for our staffing needs in the future.
I have turned to South Shore Staffing for my accounting department needs for approximately two years. And while I’ve only known Steve and Natalie at South Shore Staffing for a short time, I feel like I’ve known them forever! Their personalized service, responsiveness, and follow-up makes them a group I would definitely recommend to other hiring managers in the area. South Shore Staffing finds excellent direct hire employees who do not want to commute to Boston. I return to South Shore Staffing because they focus on the needs of the position being filled and suggest candidates from the South Shore and surrounding areas that are a good fit for the role.
South Shore Staffing is different from other agencies because their approach is a partnership and a collaboration to ensure that the candidate is successful. I feel that they vet candidates much more than other agencies, based on experiences we’ve had with other staffing companies, and they know the candidates’ skillsets and abilities at a much more personal level. The fact that they are local and have local candidates is a huge factor in the decision for my company to use them as a resource. The big national chains are not as personal, and I feel are not as invested in who they are representing because they don’t have that hometown connection like South Shore Staffing does with their candidates. I would highly recommend to anyone in the Greater Boston and South Shore area to use South Shore Staffing for their staffing needs.
I have been working with South Shore Staffing since January of 2019. I wanted to thank South Shore Staffing for helping me land my current job as an Accounting Specialist. With your help, I was able to land a couple of different accounting positions that helped me build my resume, get my foot in the door, and also provided great commutes that helped with a work-life balance. Thanks again to the South Shore Staffing team! I would highly recommend anyone looking for work south of Boston to check them out.
South Shore Staffing worked very hard for me. They located several good opportunities and provided excellent advice and direction. Natalie helped make a difficult time a little bit better. I’m settled now and looking back with sincere appreciation! Thanks so much.
This was my first experience working with a staffing agency for employment and it has been a wonderful experience! Natalie really took the time to get to know me and asked all the right questions to ensure that my employment needs were met. It is clear when working with Natalie that she really cares about my well-being and she placed me with a wonderful company that is a perfect match for me. I can’t say enough great things about Natalie and South Shore Staffing!
I just want to thank you once again, for all of your hard work and support throughout my interview process with your client. I truly was and continue to be – impressed with the thoughtfulness and insight shown to me by both you and the rest of the team at South Shore Staffing. I hope we can work together again soon. In the meantime, I will recommend your firm to anyone who is looking to place or be placed by a top-notch, passionate agency that really goes above and beyond to make the right connections every day.
