S3 Ep 2: Flipping the Temp Staffing Model | Darren Bolingbroke (X3)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
X3 only staffs three trades, and that’s exactly why it works.
In this episode, X3 CEO Darren Bolingbroke breaks down why specialization—coined “workforcing” by the X3 team—and a referral model that actually pays are helping flip the traditional temp staffing model on its head.
Topic highlights
- Staying trade-lean means faster placements and stronger relationships
- A referral program that rewards the whole workforc
- Prioritizing worker growth and client accountability over short-term coverage
The episode explores a new way of approaching labor, especially in industries like construction.
