What CTI Staffing Inc does

CTI Personnel, legally operated as CINTEMP, Inc., is a privately held, woman-owned staffing company headquartered in Lafayette, Indiana, founded in 1989 by Martie McClain. The company provides flexible staffing, employee leasing, facilities staffing, interim executive placement, and professional placement services, with a specialized focus on the automotive and light industrial/warehouse sectors. CTI has grown to deploy over 4,000 temporary associates and operates from two Indiana locations (Lafayette headquarters and Batesville satellite), claiming national service reach through an extensive partner network. Its largest disclosed client relationship is with Subaru of Indiana Automotive, where CTI has served as the primary staffing partner since 2006.

The company's service portfolio spans the full workforce management continuum. Core offerings include temporary staffing, employee leasing, and facilities staffing for light industrial, warehouse, assembly, and call center roles. Higher-value managed services include Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), full managed workforce solutions, payrolling, and consulting/HR support. CTI also places professional talent in finance, IT, legal, and marketing roles on long-term contract or direct-hire bases, and provides interim executive placements for leadership transitions.

CTI monetizes primarily through wage mark-up on temporary staffing placements and service fees on employee leasing, with direct-hire placements billed as a percentage of annual salary. Pricing is quote-based and varies by role, duration, and client requirements; one publicly disclosed rate is $20.75/hour for production assembly at the Subaru plant. The company's go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, beginning with detailed client consultations and supported by ongoing account management. CTI's competitive positioning rests on deep automotive sector expertise, a six-stage sourcing methodology, established local talent pipelines (including non-traditional candidates from high schools and trade schools), and a long-tenured internal team averaging 25+ years of company experience. The company has no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed AI capabilities, and no external institutional investors.
