Diversified takes on the employer role in a staffing arrangement, paying employees benefits in place of the hiring companies' doing so. This arrangement appeals to companies who are unwilling or unable to provide benefits to employees.

Retrieved 31 May 2008.] Diversified starts its process with the candidates, finding them jobs from openings they have to fill, rather than starting with the positions and picking from candidates to fill them. The staffing firm uses a trademarked system to assess a candidate's personality and skills to match him or her to job openings.

Diversified's blue-collar clients often have limited skill sets and narrow job histories, many having spent years working in the same factories without building skills or gaining further education. Diversified Industrial Staffing, as an employment agency, offers help in résumé-writing and internet job-searching for those blue-collar individuals who haven't learned or been exposed to such necessities.
