APN Staffing & Employment Solutions is a staffing and recruiting firm specialized in both the healthcare and automotive space, and over the past 10 years, APN has branched into a third niche –tribal communities. At APN, we contract with many tribal nations throughout the US, including self-governing tribes, to staff and recruit permanent placements, contract staffing and temp-to-perm staff. We make it our job to understand each community’s needs and to find people that match those needs – while understanding that those needs look different to each community. Some communities require a high volume of people for a temporary project, like COVID vaccine clinics and other tribes may need reliable, entry-level employees for a job that simply just needs to get done. Today’s tribal HR departments are so busy that adding these additional projects onto their desks is just not feasible. When a C-level leader leaves, and the organization needs to quickly identify and attract a new leader, APN can also fill this need with our executive search program. APN’s strategic approach and deep-rooted connections help clients accomplish a need so many companies struggle with today…. finding good, qualified talent.
