About Stand-By Personnel
Helping People, Changing Lives
For over 30 years, Stand-By Personnel has proudly served Oklahoma as a family-owned staffing agency dedicated to Helping People. Changing Lives.
What began as a small, community-driven company has grown into one of the most trusted names in staffing—connecting hardworking individuals with opportunities that change their futures, and helping businesses thrive with dependable, job-ready talent.
Stand-By specializes in placing people across hundreds of skilled trades, including construction, manufacturing, and warehousing. Our long-standing relationships with local companies and tradespeople allow us to match the right person with the right job—quickly, efficiently, and with care.
Our Welding Division is the only division in the state of Oklahoma with a state-certified weld test facility on-site. We train and test potential welders daily for manufacturers and fabricators throughout Tulsa and the surrounding area, saving customers valuable time and resources. The Stand-By Weld Test Facility minimizes the need for shop-floor testing, allowing supervisors and management to focus on productivity and output while we handle the evaluation and certification process.
For needs that are less specialized—or when you require extra hands for construction, maintenance, cleanup, or special events—our Labor Division delivers dependable workers 24 hours a day. We take pride in offering employees steady opportunities, flexibility, and a supportive team environment where they can succeed.
At Stand-By Personnel, we believe success is built on people. Our team works tirelessly to ensure every placement benefits both the employee and the employer. With three decades of experience and a commitment to our core mission—Helping People. Changing Lives.—we continue to make a difference in workplaces and communities across Oklahoma.
