What Colorado Network Staffing Inc does

Colorado Network Staffing, Inc. (CNS) is a privately held, woman-owned staffing and human resources services company headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, founded in 1996. The firm operates four core service lines: Staffing, Recruiting & HR (covering temporary, temp-to-permanent, and direct-hire placements with full-cycle screening, payroll, and benefits administration); Management Controls (advisory support for project-based teams); Operations & Maintenance (technical and operational staffing); and Administrative Support (customer service and office roles). CNS also delivers specialized services including security clearance processing, contract management, and transition management for government engagements. Its underlying technology stack is built around a staffing and HR management platform integrated with applicant tracking and payroll systems, leveraging Paycom as its ATS vendor rather than proprietary AI tooling.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services fees tied to placement arrangements — hourly bill rates for temporary placements (with CNS handling payroll and benefits), trial-based fees for temp-to-permanent conversions, and one-time placement fees for direct hires. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with dedicated recruiting experts engaging both enterprise employers and government buyers through direct outreach, a website-based intake portal, and the GSA MOBIS Schedule contract vehicle (GS-02F-017GA) for federal procurement. CNS targets a hybrid customer base spanning federal and local government agencies (Department of Energy, Department of Interior, U.S. General Services Administration, school districts, water utility districts, Power Marketing Administration) and private/commercial employers across HVAC, construction, automotive, and other commercial verticals. The company holds WOSB, WBE, EDWOSB, ISO 9001, and SAM certifications, and is affiliated with SHRM, NCMA, ASA, and WBENC.
