WorkForce Unlimited

What WorkForce Unlimited does

WorkForce Unlimited is a private, full-service staffing agency headquartered in Mount Airy, North Carolina, operating as part of the AREVO Group family of companies alongside AREVO Professional (IT Solutions) and AREVO Management (back-office outsourcing). Founded in 1987 as Surry Temporary Service and rebranded in 2014, the firm runs 10 local recruitment offices across North Carolina and Virginia and is positioned as the 2nd largest talent source in the Southeast United States. It serves SMB, mid-market, and enterprise clients with temporary staffing, temp-to-hire, direct hire placement, associate payrolling, and on-site workforce management services across three primary verticals: light industrial/manufacturing, customer service/call center, and office/professional. Internal headcount is 101-250, led by Chairman & CEO Mike Brannock, CFO Lynn Comstock, and VP of Operations Maggie Richardson.

The company's core offering is human capital services rather than a technology platform; no proprietary software, algorithms, or AI-driven matching systems are described in available material. The underlying technology stack consists of standard tools: an OnTempWorks-powered employee self-service portal (used for payroll, scheduling, and profile management), a public job search portal, and a corporate website with content marketing. Service delivery is fundamentally relationship-driven and local: on-site staffing representatives are embedded at client worksites, branch offices handle candidate sourcing, screening (including background checks and pre-employment/random drug screening), and day-to-day workforce coordination. The firm emphasizes a 100% in-person safety tour protocol for industrial placements and positions itself with the personal touch of a local partner alongside the capabilities of a larger staffing firm.

WorkForce Unlimited generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on temporary and temp-to-hire placements (bill-rate spread on hourly wages) and direct-hire placement fees on permanent placements, with growing managed-services revenue from associate payrolling and on-site workforce management engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base is diversified across multiple industries with documented long-tenured relationships (30+ clients retained for 30+ years) and named enterprise engagements including Lydech Thermal Acoustical Solutions, where the firm drove a 27% turnover reduction. The firm has earned ClearlyRated Diamond Best of Staffing honors (top 0.10% of the industry), been recognized eight times on the Triad's 50 Fastest-Growing Companies list, and named a Best Place to Work for over a decade — all signaling durable client retention and brand strength, though revenue is not publicly disclosed.
