StaffCo

What StaffCo does

StaffCo, operating as Staffing Companies, Inc., is a privately held, founder-led commercial and industrial staffing agency founded in 2001 in Savannah, Georgia by Paul Day, who continues to serve as President and CEO. The company provides temporary, temporary-to-hire, long-term temporary, contract, and direct-hire placement services across administrative/clerical, industrial/warehouse, hospitality, technical, and CDL transportation roles, supported by complementary payroll, labor management, outsourcing, and production-billing modules. Every full-time corporate employee holds the Certified Temporary Staffing Specialist (CTS) credential from the National Association of Personnel Services, and candidates are screened using third-party assessment platforms (ExpertRating, HireSelect) including the Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude, with a 4-hour placement guarantee and 24-hour availability as headline service promises.

The company operates five physical branch offices — Savannah (HQ market, founded 2001), Houston (2003), Minneapolis (2009, administrative headquarters), Rincon (2012), and Pooler (2016) — and claims nationwide staffing capability. Technology is intentionally light: an in-house shift-tracking tool called StaffCount handles clock-in/out and 1st/2nd/3rd-shift visibility for client workforces, while scheduling, chat, and driver applications run on integrated third-party platforms (Appointment-Plus, Contact At Once, myCDLApp). A standalone Charleston, SC branch opened in 2002 no longer appears in the active office roster, suggesting consolidation. The technology architecture is therefore best characterized as a thin orchestration layer over commodity SaaS rather than a proprietary platform.

StaffCo monetizes primarily through spread-based transaction fees on temporary placements, with supplemental revenue from direct-hire placement fees, payroll processing fees, managed-service contracts for labor management and outsourcing, and professional-services fees for skills testing. Pricing is pay-as-you-go across employment types with no public rate card, and a $40 employee referral bonus is paid upon a referred candidate completing 40 hours of work. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and revenue, client count, and ARR are not publicly disclosed.
