Infinity Resources

What Infinity Resources does

Infinity Resources is a privately held, family-owned staffing and human resources services company founded in 1960 by Charlie Farrell in Erie, Pennsylvania, and currently led by his son Martin Farrell as President. The company operates 14 locally owned and staffed offices serving the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio, providing temporary staffing, temp-to-hire placements, direct placement of experienced candidates (e.g., shift supervisors, plant managers, office managers, sales and marketing staff, and mid-level management), and payroll services under which Infinity acts as the legal employer of record. Its technology stack is intentionally light — the company discloses no proprietary technology and operates its job board on third-party TempWorks Software, with listings syndicated to ZipRecruiter and Indeed.

The company has steadily broadened its service surface around the core staffing offering. Under the Infinity Professional Consulting Services brand, it delivers business and manufacturing consulting (Lean/Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma, organizational structure, talent recruitment, performance management), private investigation services, school safety assessment and emergency preparedness planning (compliant with PA Acts 44 of 2019 and 18 of 2020), and medical recruitment. In August 2024 the company expanded into Bookkeeping and Accounting Services by absorbing the bookkeeping and accounting division of Erie-based Checks & Balances, a tuck-in led by Chief Administrator Karen Paszko that brought two practitioners and their client book in-house. A separate operational modernization — switching pay card providers to Rapid! PayCards effective after the October 2024 payroll — upgraded the managed payroll infrastructure.

The business model is professional services across multiple streams: temporary staffing and temp-to-hire generate spread-based revenue on hourly billings (job postings indicate hourly rates ranging from roughly $9.50 for entry-level press operators to $26 for skilled maintenance mechanics); direct placement generates placement fees; consulting and investigation work is billed on a project/engagement basis; and the new bookkeeping line generates recurring service fees for SMB clients. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: 14 physical offices serve as the primary intake and matching hubs, supplemented by an online application portal, an employer request form, and a referral program, with no evidence of external equity capital or enterprise SaaS-style distribution.
