PeopleReady headquarters

PeopleReady was founded as Labor Ready in 1989 in Kent, Washington, by  Glenn Welstad.

The company operates a full-service employment agency, finding clients’ jobs, permanent and temporary, as well as offering staffing services to businesses.

PeopleReady is the flagship of TrueBlue, Inc., which also operates other subsidiaries, such as CLP (Construction Labor Pool), Spartan Staffing, PlaneTechs, TransTechs, Centerline, Seaton, SMX, Staff Management, and Peoplescout.

PeopleReady offers clients a platform and cell phone app called JobStack, allowing people to find and apply for jobs online. The app was recently given two awards, including the Centauri Award for Best App in the Consumer Website and Mobile Site category in the 2022 Vega Awards and a Bronze Stevie Award winner by the American Business Awards in the Utilities and Services category, also in 2022.

In February 2022, parent company TrueBlue and PeopleReady agreed to settle a suit brought by U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for firing a worker with a psychiatric disability, rather than working to accommodate the employee.

Also in early 2022, PeopleReady, PeopleScout, and PeopleManagement were all named Top Workplaces in the USA by employees for the second straight year.

PeopleReady maintains a corporate office in Tacoma, Washington.
