Legacy Apartment Staffing

What Legacy Apartment Staffing does

Legacy Apartment Staffing is a privately held U.S. staffing and recruiting firm founded in 2023 that specializes exclusively in the multifamily and property management industry. It operates from a corporate office in South Carolina and two regional offices serving the greater San Diego area in California and North and South Carolina. The firm was founded by John Modlin (CEO) and Vicki Modlin (President); John Modlin brings over two decades of multifamily staffing experience and holds leadership positions in the National Apartment Association (NAA) and the Southern California Rental Housing Association.

The company's core offering is a four-product staffing stack: Temporary Staffing, Temp-to-Hire Staffing, Direct Hire Recruiting, and Payroll Services. These are delivered through a seven-step recruiting process that includes in-person candidate interviews, reference and background checks, and post-placement follow-up. Complementary candidate training programs, including a Leasing Training Class and Grace Hill-certified fair housing and leasing courses, prepare entry-level candidates for placement. There is no proprietary technology platform; candidate sourcing relies on internal recruiter networks, Apartment Association partnerships, a ZipRecruiter listing, an employee referral program, and the firm's blog and social media channels. Customer segments include national and regional property management companies, independent property owners, job seekers in the multifamily industry, and industry partners and associations.

The business model is a quote-based professional services arrangement with weekly billing. Fees are tailored per partnership agreement and bundled to include compensation, taxes, workers' compensation, and processing; temp-to-hire placements carry no conversion fee, and payroll fees vary by state, position type, and mandated benefits. The go-to-market is sales-led, driven by senior sales/branch managers and staffing managers who conduct consultative client engagements in each region, supported by association-driven referral channels.
