For our area businesses, we aim to serve as an extension of your HR department, offering you a flexible and supportive partner to connect you with the employees and solutions you need. For those seeking employment, we want you to put us to work finding you work.

Since its founding, our company has opened four additional branches in Dixon, IL (2015), Monroe, WI (2016), Beloit, WI (2019), and Rockford, IL (2022). Each year, Hughes Resources works with thousands of job seekers and over a hundred businesses to provide growing companies with hard-working employees and connect individuals with meaningful employment opportunities. From the start, we have sought to influence positive change in our local regions by maintaining a standard of service delivery focused on our core values of respect, knowledge, and professionalism. Our goal is to further expand our geographic footprint as we continue to skillfully connect companies to the workforce to benefit those living and working in the communities we serve.
