The Dow Chemical Company

Strategic Relationships with Some of the Largest Companies Around the World:

Ever wonder how your home stays warm in the winter? Or how your vegetables and fruits are tastier and more nutritious? Or how your water remains so pure?

Many of the items we eat, wear or use in our daily lives come to us thanks to the efforts of the people working at The Dow Chemical Company— and that team includes a wide range of professionals from Manpower Services®. Based on a long-term relationship, Manpower fills Dow's contract staffing needs in engineering, as well as science, administration, finance and healthcare.

It's a relationship that works.

In addition to these focused engineering roles, we provide a broad range of professional and technical experts in project management, construction management, cost estimating, quality assurance, inspection, surveying, training and safety.

Manpower unique recruiting methods are aimed at developing an unparalleled understanding of the Dow mission, culture and opportunities in order to ensure a high retention rate for Manpower employees placed in Dow assignments. At Manpower, experts recruit experts (ie, engineers recruit engineers, scientists recruit scientists). Once the Manpower employees are in place in Dow assignments,Manpower measures how well they are doing through annual performance reviews to ensure they are living up to Dow’s expectations.

To deliver this level of service, Manpower provides Dow with a staffing management team focused on solutions. We provide single points of contact at multiple levels, including dedicated recruiters and on-site managers.
