Malone Workforce Solutions

What Malone Workforce Solutions does

Malone Workforce Solutions is a US-based, privately held staffing and workforce solutions company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The company operates a four-segment service portfolio: (1) Commercial/Industrial Staffing covering manufacturing, light industrial, warehouse, logistics, hospitality, and general labor; (2) Professional Staffing for IT, engineering, finance, logistics, and administrative roles; (3) Healthcare Staffing delivered through a dedicated division branded as Malone Healthcare (malonehc.com), supplying travel and facility nurses and allied practitioners; and (4) Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) offering Full and Flex RPO solutions where Malone manages end-to-end hiring under the client's brand. Revenue is generated primarily through wage markups on temporary staffing, placement fees on direct hires, and professional/managed-service fees for RPO and payroll services.

Distribution is built around a hybrid model of 46 physical branch offices across 36 states, supplemented by virtual national recruitment centers that provide nationwide candidate matching. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with dedicated staffing managers, inside sales via phone and the company website, and self-service applications through the corporate job board (jobs.malonesolutions.com). Notable enterprise customers span automotive manufacturing (a Kia facility in West Point, Georgia with a 19-year relationship producing 2.7 million vehicles; Hyundai Transys), supply chain (Arvato), healthcare (a major metropolitan hospital network), food manufacturing, and commercial cleaning services. Pricing is unit-based (hourly wages) with no publicly disclosed rate card.

Operationally, Malone is privately held by Management Registry, Inc., and operates on legacy third-party systems (PrismHR, Avionte, Greenshades) rather than a proprietary technology platform. Under CEO Dawn Meyers, the company has reported a 22% revenue increase, launched 10 new locations, expanded the healthcare vertical, and completed the March 2025 acquisition of Sedona Staffing Carlsbad — continuing an M&A track record that includes Nextaff (2016) and OmniSource Staffing (2017). The company ranks on the Staffing Industry Analysts Top 100 list in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
