The Job Center Staffing

What The Job Center Staffing does

The Job Center Staffing is a privately held light-industrial staffing firm headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 2007 as a single-desk operation in a strip mall and grown into a 26+ center network spanning 11 U.S. states (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania). The company places temporary, contract-to-perm, and permanent workers in warehouse, distribution, forklift, manufacturing, and general labor roles for enterprise clients across logistics, e-commerce, manufacturing, retail, telecom, and consumer electronics sectors. Named anchor clients include UPS (multi-site Kentucky staffing), Win.It America (e-commerce returns processing for Shein, Temu, and TikTok in Florence, KY), and CTDI (telecom supply chain in Jeffersonville, IN).

The company operates a hybrid physical-and-digital model: 26+ walk-in staffing centers drive associate acquisition, while a mobile application (iOS and Android) handles job search, personalized alerts, pay stub and W-2 access, and recruiter chat. The underlying ATS is the third-party Avionte Talent Portal, and the company has invested in differentiated associate benefits including the Work & Win rent/mortgage assistance program, Medical/Dental/Vision/401(k)/PTO, and a $150 referral bonus. The Job Center Staffing is a subsidiary of Riley Decker Companies, a Cincinnati-based diversified holding company that also operates MOR Talent Solutions, Alternative Comp Solutions, and BOSS-Ohio.

Revenue is generated via wage markup on placements, with bill rates of $15-$25/hour depending on role, shift, and skill level (general warehouse $15-18, forklift/equipment $17-24, skilled $20-25). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. No public financial filings, funding rounds, or institutional ownership are present in the source data, and the company is wholly owned within the Riley Decker corporate family.
