After gaining valuable experience working as a headhunter and providing staffing services in Texas, John recognized the need for a similar service back home in Chattanooga. He saw an opportunity to create a staffing agency that not only connected talented individuals with great companies but also prioritized the needs of both parties equally.
​
Upon returning to Chattanooga, John joined the faculty at the University of Tennessee Rollins College of Business as an Adjunct Professor. Teaching human resource and management courses to the next generation of leaders further reinforced his belief in the importance of matching the right talent with the right companies.
​
With a passion for supporting the local community and a deep understanding of the needs of both job seekers and employers, John founded Chattanooga Staffing Company. Today, the company stands as a bridge between the people of the Chattanooga regional area and the companies that support the community, dedicated to facilitating the growth and success of both.
The Chattanooga Staffing Company was born out of a genuine need within the Chattanooga community for a direct hire placement company that prioritizes both the people and the companies of Chattanooga.
