What Ultimate Staffing does

Ultimate Staffing is a U.S. commercial staffing firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Orange, California, operating as a subsidiary of Roth Staffing Companies, L.P. The firm specializes in clerical, administrative, customer service, call center, and manufacturing/production placements and serves clients across seven workforce segments: Administrative & Office Support, Customer Service & Call Center, Human Resources, Sales, Manufacturing & Production, Marketing, and Purchasing & Procurement. Engagement models span temporary, temporary-to-hire, direct hire, on-premise staffing, and large-scale VMS/MSP programs for enterprise contingent-workforce management. Recruitment is delivered through a national network of 50+ branch offices staffed by relationship-driven recruiters, supplemented by a job-board portal (careers.ultimatestaffing.com) and online employer forms.

Underlying technology consists of proprietary tools layered on top of the recruiter network rather than a standalone platform: TalentSet (candidate self-assessment), VideoSelect (recorded-video screening to compress first-round interviews), Process Adapt (customized recruitment methodology tuned to each client), and Expedite (client web portal for orders, timekeeping, reporting, and invoicing). There is no public API, AI/ML capability is not disclosed, and the company's core technology is internally described as combining human recruiting expertise with digital tooling. Sister brands under the Roth Staffing Companies umbrella — Ledgent Finance & Accounting, Ledgent Technology, Adams & Martin Group, and About Talent — extend the parent group's vertical coverage into finance/accounting, IT, legal, and RPO/MSP/payroll respectively.

Revenue is generated entirely from employer clients on a transaction-fee basis (per-placement, per-hour, or contingency) plus managed-services fees on VMS/MSP contracts; services are free to job seekers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has been recognized by Forbes (America's Best Recruiting and Temporary Staffing Firms 2026) and ClearlyRated (Best of Staffing Client and Talent Satisfaction 2026) and is led by President Pam Sexauer alongside market VPs, a Director of Strategic Solutions, and a Partnership Director, with founder Ben Roth credited as the originator of the On-Premises staffing model.
