Contract Assignment
W2 assignments are for a set period or project, typically with clear start and end dates. While not permanent, they offer valuable experience, skill development, and the potential for extensions or permanent opportunities down the line.
Contract-to-Direct
Contract employees start off on a project basis, allowing both the individual and the company to assess the timing and fit. If things go well, there’s potential to transition into a permanent role. It’s a great opportunity to gain experience with a company, with the possibility of long-term growth if both sides are a good match.
Direct Placement
The client hires the candidate directly as an employee. We’re with you every step of the way—helping with candidate screening, selection, and ensuring a smooth transition into the new role.
Payroll Services
When a candidate is already identified, we make it easy to get started. Our payroll service allows talent to be brought on as contractors under our employment—providing access to benefits and support while offering companies the flexibility and ease of contract hiring.
Statement of Work (SOW)
A SOW engagement outlines the scope, timelines, and responsibilities for a specific project or need. It’s an effective solution for companies facing headcount restrictions, allowing work to move forward without adding to full-time staff.
The Team Making It Happen
Jim Beath
Owner & Co-Founder
Jim has been a leader in the staffing industry since 1995. He began his career as a recruiter and steadily worked his way up, gaining a deep understanding of both the client and candidate sides of the business. With an entrepreneurial mindset from the start, Jim always knew he wanted to build something of his own. When the right opportunity came along, he founded Reliance One with a mission to break away from traditional staffing models by focusing relentlessly on solving clients' problems and delivering real value.
This client-first approach, combined with a passion for building high-performing teams, quickly set Reliance One apart and fueled strong, long-lasting partnerships. As the company continues to grow, Jim remains focused on mentoring future leaders and cultivating a competitive, team-oriented culture. His “whatever it takes” mindset is a cornerstone of the company’s values and something he actively instills across the organization. Outside of work, Jim serves on the Board of Directors for the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He enjoys spending time with his wife Tiffany and daughters, Sophia and Lilly—especially while traveling—and is an avid golfer and passionate Michigan football fan.
