\nCompany Description

Commercial Employees was founded by CEO Greg Madler in 2002.

Over the last 20 years, Greg and his thoughtfully-trained team have hired over 300,000 people, helping their clients build thriving, successful and productive workforces for a period or for life.

Having spent years learning the ropes about the staffing and recruiting industry from the inside, Greg realized there was a problem with traditional large-scale staffing agencies: the bounds of their corporate structure kept them from going above and beyond for their clients.

This revelation led Greg to conceive of and launch Commercial Employees, a strategic and creative staffing agency founded on grit, determination, hustle, focus, and drive, ideals Greg brought to Commercial Employees from his years of dedicated military service as a two-tour combat Veteran.

It is these ideals that drive the Commercial Employees team to quickly overcome staffing challenges and provide personalized, thoughtful service to every customer and candidate.
