WorkSource

What WorkSource does

WorkSource Inc. is a U.S.-based staffing agency headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas, that provides employment solutions to employers and job seekers across professional and light industrial sectors. The company has been operating for more than two decades and currently functions as a subsidiary of Employment Alliance Holdings, structured under an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Its core service modules include Temporary Staffing, Temp-to-Hire, Direct Hire, and Referral Staffing, supported by an online Job Board and dedicated Employer and Employee portals that facilitate candidate sourcing, application management, and workforce administration for both client businesses and placed workers.

Service delivery is built on Avionte, a third-party staffing software platform that handles candidate tracking, job board operations, and employee portal functionality. The firm distributes services through its website (worksource.net), the Avionte-powered self-serve portals, and direct phone and contact-form outreach to employers. Its customer base spans businesses of all sizes across multiple industries, while the candidate side serves individuals seeking professional or light industrial roles and includes resume and interview assistance as value-added support.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee structures typical of staffing agencies, including wage markups on temporary placements (with WorkSource handling payroll, benefits, and administrative overhead on behalf of client businesses) and placement fees on permanent hires. The firm employs 101-250 people, holds no disclosed external funding, and is privately held. Pricing, revenue figures, named customers, and any M&A activity are not publicly disclosed, which materially limits third-party visibility into financial performance, customer concentration, and growth dynamics.
