At THE RESOURCE we believe everyone has a place where they can naturally thrive in work and in life. And that every business has something to offer its employees beyond a paycheck. It’s that belief that drives our approach to helping people find their next opportunity to shine. We make it happen by combining a wealth of industry knowledge with advanced insight and experience on the ground to serve each individual or business with a high level of service.

The Resource started with an opportunity our CEO had right out of college to help create and build a company that, 43+ years later, is responsible for finding opportunities for over 100,000 people. From the beginning, we have always worked to be the industry leader in our market, staying ahead of change for our clients.

We look to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve every day and empower our staff to gain and develop new skills. As we continue to grow as a company, our focus is on cultivating new leaders in our organization, embracing the future of the industry, and setting the stage for another 40 years!
