Resource Employment Solutions

What Resource Employment Solutions does

Resource Employment Solutions (RES) is a privately held staffing and workforce solutions provider headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operating for more than 20 years across approximately 19 physical office locations in over 12 U.S. states. The company connects employers with talent across eight primary industry verticals, including Light Industrial, Manufacturing, Admin/Clerical, Information Technology, Finance & Accounting, Technical Engineering, Power Generation, and Aviation & Defense, through four core engagement models: Direct Hire, Temp-to-Hire, Contract Staffing, and Project-Based Staffing. RES's customer base spans enterprise and mid-market employers, with specialized recruiting teams assigned by vertical and a stated 48-72 hour SLA for delivering a shortlist of three qualified candidates.

RES does not operate a proprietary technology platform. Its competitive offering rests on a cultivated national and global talent database, dedicated industry-specialized recruiting teams, a rigorous proprietary screening process with reference checks and verifications, and approximately 85 industry partnerships. Revenue is generated through transaction fees — markup on worker wages for temporary staffing, percentage-based fees for direct hire placements, and contract/project staffing fees — with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts cited for select clients. The company also offers adjunct advisory services including free workforce consultations led by the CEO and COO, and a year-end staffing review product.

The leadership team is led by CEO Sam Rossa, who brings nearly 30 years of staffing and business services experience including a $1.2 billion PEO exit (Peoplease, 2020) and private equity operating expertise; COO Stephanie Pishkula with 25 years of operational experience; SVP Professional Solutions Mike Ray; VP of Sales Jerson Sanchez (since 2012); and SVP Finance Daniel Fields (joined August 2025), a recent hire consistent with the company being prepared for institutional capital or a transaction. RES is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors, and currently operates without any disclosed AI/ML, API, or software platform capability.
