Central Point Partners

What Central Point Partners does

Central Point Partners (CPP) is a privately held, women-owned IT staffing and consulting firm founded in 2012 by Pam Stanczewski and headquartered in Westerville, Ohio. The company delivers talent and workforce management solutions — including recruiting, executive search, staff augmentation, temp-to-perm and contingent placements, payrolling, and full outsourcing — alongside IT consulting services focused on big data and information security initiatives. CPP serves clients ranging from small and mid-size businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises across higher education, financial services, insurance, and healthcare verticals, and maintains a regional office in Hay River, Canada.

In parallel with its staffing practice, CPP operates a value-added technology product resale business, distributing cybersecurity and infrastructure solutions from FireEye, McAfee (Intel Security), HP, Cisco, MCPc, and Avnet. The company runs a proprietary four-step staffing process (Client Immersion Meeting, Ideal Candidate Strategy Assessment, Candidate Research & Sourcing, Ongoing Follow-up Conversations) and supports a differentiated talent pipeline through its Operation Mobile Spouses program, which trains military spouses as IT recruiters and account managers. CPP is WBENC-certified as a women-owned business, SBA WOSB-certified, and BBB A-rated.

Commercially, CPP generates revenue through professional services fees from staffing placements and consulting engagements plus hardware/product resale margin from its technology partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per engagement rather than tiered or subscription-based. Distribution is direct: an enterprise field sales motion targets Fortune 500 clients, an inside sales motion serves mid-market and smaller accounts, and the reseller channel extends reach into enterprise technology buyers. The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional funding, was acquired Sympatico Resources in June 2020 to expand into insurance and travel verticals, and appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for three consecutive years (2018-2020), reporting 261% three-year revenue growth as of the 2020 ranking.
