Alpha 1 Staffing

What Alpha 1 Staffing does

Alpha 1 Staffing is a privately held, founder-led staffing and workforce solutions firm headquartered in Miramar, Florida, founded in 2007 by Garrie Harris. The company operates a multi-vertical staffing model organized around five branded divisions — Alpha Pro (corporate and administrative support), Alpha Health (healthcare), Alpha Emergency Response (disaster relief), Alpha Events (event staffing), and AlphaFlex (remote business partners and custom AI agent design) — supported by five core services: payrolling, Employer of Record (EOR), staffing solutions, executive search, and fractional recruiting. It serves both employers (filling temporary, contract, and permanent roles) and job seekers (career placement, resume support), with a customer base spanning municipalities, county governments, public schools, state agencies, large enterprises, sports and entertainment venues, and healthcare providers across the Southeastern United States.

The company runs an asset-light, sales-led go-to-market: revenue is generated through placement fees (contingent or retained), payroll markups under EOR arrangements, subscription or project fees for AlphaFlex, and event-staffing billings. Its technology stack is primarily off-the-shelf — MyAvionte powers the applicant tracking and candidate portal — with no proprietary platform disclosed, and its differentiators rest on vertical specialization, certified business status (MBE, WBENC, SBA, 1OK), and demonstrated disaster-response and large-event deployment capabilities (Super Bowl LIV, COVID-19 vaccination surge across three states). The AlphaFlex AI-agent design service is positioned as a complementary offering rather than a core platform capability.

Alpha 1 has historically derived significant revenue from a small set of large government contracts, including a $60M five-year Miami-Dade County engagement, a $10M+ disaster-relief contract with Broward/Dade Public Schools and the State of Florida, a $17M+ COVID-19 vaccination contract with the Florida Department of Health, and an ongoing multi-year relationship with the City of Miramar. While these anchor contracts demonstrate institutional credibility and government procurement access, they also create meaningful customer concentration risk. Growth has been organic and vertical-led, with no disclosed outside funding and a small internal headcount, supporting a moderate-growth profile rather than a venture-scale trajectory.
