What Select Staffing does

Select Staffing is a U.S. private staffing company and specialty brand of EmployBridge, focused on light industrial, clerical, and administrative placements through over 400 branch offices nationwide (with disclosed branch operations in California, Georgia, Idaho, North Carolina, New Mexico, and Texas). The company operates as the employer of record for temporary associates and bills clients on a per-hour basis at negotiated rates not publicly disclosed; associate base pay ranges roughly $17.50-$30.00/hour. Beyond temporary staffing, Select runs a managed-service stack for enterprise customers that includes the VIP on-site program, the National Partnership Group for multi-site accounts, SinglePoint Solutions (MSP/VMS), Direct Hire Search for permanent placements, and on-site management services. Distribution is branch-led for SMB customers, with online application portals (apply.select.com) and a mobile app for associate self-service, supported by referral programs and a multi-channel marketing mix across organic social, content, email, and paid Meta advertising.

The technology platform is workflow- and operations-focused rather than AI-driven: TYmetrics (time and attendance), HirePay (workforce cost offsets), Select CPU (cost-per-unit modeling), CU There (attendance response), Manager Match (associate-to-supervisor pairing), TeamLink (client account portal), and Select Family iHire VMS (vendor management), integrated with PeopleNet (E-Time), Comdata and GlobalCashCard (paycards), Paperless Employee (W-2), Equifax/The Work Number (verification), and American Funds (IRA). The company has earned the ClearlyRated Best of Staffing Talent award (<2% of agencies) and was among the first to receive the ASA/NSC Safety Standard of Excellence mark, supporting its risk-management positioning in industrial placement.

Select operates within a broader EmployBridge portfolio of seven specialty brands (ResourceMFG, ProLogistix, ProDrivers, RemX, Westaff, Remedy Intelligent Staffing, and Select) that collectively place 85,000 associates weekly and serve 10,000 hiring organizations. Select is publicly transitioning to the unified EmployBridge identity under a 2023 brand evolution. No revenue, headcount-trend, or ownership-percentage data is disclosed; the company remains a private subsidiary with no public ticker.
