A Northampton Staffing Agency Built Around Shift Work
We started Osac Placement for the businesses that keep running after everyone else has gone home.
From our office at Moulton Park Business Centre we supply warehouse operatives, drivers, logistics staff and labourers to employers across Northampton and the MK/NN corridor. Our phones are answered day and night because the sites we work with don't stop at five o'clock.

Local People Who Know How Warehouses Run
Most of our day is spent talking to shift managers, transport planners and site supervisors. They don't want a sales pitch. They want to know whether we can get six people to a loading bay in Brackmills for ten o'clock tonight, and they want a straight answer.
That's the kind of staffing agency we set out to be. We focus on a handful of things we understand well (warehousing, logistics, driving, night work and short-notice cover) rather than trying to recruit for every industry under the sun.
Being out at Moulton Park rather than in the town centre helps. We're surrounded by the same industrial estates our clients operate from, we know which sites are awkward to reach at 5am, and we know how long the drive to Milton Keynes really takes at shift change.
What we're here for
To give Northampton employers a reliable way to cover shifts, whether that's one person tonight or a regular team across several sites, and to give local people steady, honest temporary work.
The Work We Cover
We keep our focus narrow on purpose. It means we know the roles, the shift patterns and the people who do them well.
Warehouse staffing
Operatives, pickers, packers, loaders, goods-in and dispatch staff, and licensed FLT drivers for warehouses and 3PL sites.
Warehouse staffing →Night-shift staffing
Overnight, twilight, early-morning and weekend cover for sites that run around the clock.
Night-shift staffing →Urgent cover
Same-day and next-shift requests when sickness, absence or a sudden rise in volume leaves a gap.
Urgent staffing →Drivers and transport
HGV Class 1 and 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers, plus shunters and transport support, with licences checked for each role.
Employer services →Construction and labour
General labourers, site support and material handling for contractors across Northamptonshire.
Discuss a requirement →Temp-to-perm
A temporary start that lets you and the worker see whether the job suits you both before anyone commits.
How it works →A Few Things We Hold Ourselves To
We answer the phone
Day, night, weekend or bank holiday. If your night manager rings at 2am, a person picks up.
We tell you the truth about availability
If a booking is going to be tight, you'll hear it from us early, not ten minutes before the shift starts.
We brief people properly
Workers know the site address, the gate, the start time, who to report to and what PPE to bring.
We look after the people we place
Fair treatment, clear pay information and someone to call if something isn't right. Happier workers turn up.

From Moulton Park to the Main UK Logistics Hubs
Northampton is our home patch, and most of our work is within a short drive of the M1 junctions and the A43 and A45. We also support selected employers at the big logistics hubs elsewhere in England, usually businesses that already use us locally and want one agency across their sites.
Employers who look for recruitment agencies in Moulton Park, or a staffing agency close to Northampton's industrial estates, are often surprised how much easier it is when the agency knows the area as well as they do.
Temporary Work Without the Runaround
About a third of the calls we take are from people looking for work: warehouse shifts, night work, driving jobs or a few weeks of labouring. We'll ask what hours you can do, how you get around and what you've done before, then tell you honestly what's available.
If we haven't got the right thing today, we'll say so and keep your details for when we do.
