What Celerity Staffing Solutions does

Celerity Staffing Solutions is a privately held, Wisconsin-based staffing and recruiting agency founded in 1994 that delivers temporary staffing, temporary-to-hire recruitment, and direct hire recruitment services to employers and job seekers across the state. The company operates eight branch offices spanning South Central, East Central, and Northeastern Wisconsin (Beaver Dam, Janesville, Madison, Oshkosh, Shawano, Sun Prairie, and Watertown), serving both light industrial sectors (manufacturing, food production, warehouse/logistics, welding, assembly) and office/professional sectors (administrative, customer service, call center, finance, HR). Its 501-1,000 employee footprint largely reflects placed associates working at client sites, supported by a smaller internal team of branch managers, account managers, recruiters, and business development specialists.

The company's core technology backbone is the Avionte applicant tracking and onboarding platform (accessed via celeritystaffing.myavionte.com), which powers candidate applications, new hire onboarding, timecards, paystubs, tax documents, and direct deposit management through an employee self-service portal. This is a third-party SaaS rather than proprietary technology, and Celerity's competitive differentiation is positioned around its "four pillars" (Think Local, Respect All, Nurture Ability, Inspire Innovation) and locally embedded recruiter relationships rather than product technology. The company's marketing relies on its website, Facebook presence, Google reviews, and physical branch visibility rather than digital or content-led demand generation.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees charged to employer clients for temporary placements, temporary-to-hire conversions, and direct hire recruitment; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company markets comprehensive benefits (PTO, health/dental/vision insurance, 401k, term life, education assistance, referral and holiday bonuses) to all associates regardless of assignment type as a retention and attraction lever. Celerity claims more 5-star Google reviews than any other staffing agency in South Central Wisconsin and frames itself as a locally controlled alternative to national staffing chains, though no parent company, institutional ownership, or financial disclosures are available in the input data.
