In building Openreq, we sought to meet a great demand in the marketplace: A central online location where staffing professionals could market themselves and staffing firms could source the experienced internal producers and managers crucial to their operations.
After running a successful executive search firm focused in providing staffing and recruiting professionals to our staffing firm clients, we recognized a few common areas where Openreq can add value to staffing firms and staffing professionals. |
We will accomplish these tasks by providing a centralized, online venue where staffing firms can source experienced staffing professionals, and staffing professionals can have access to the information they need to make informed decisions.
Openreq bridges the gap by connecting staffing firms to the talented, experienced staffing professionals that they consider crucial to the success of their businesses.

We believe that our industry is driven by forging long-term relationships and thrives when it is populated by people of the highest ethical and moral values. We will exemplify those ethical standards as we conduct our business.
We believe in respecting the confidential nature of our model while maintaining neutrality, fairness, and professionalism at all times.
We believe that staffing firms can be both profitable and respectful of their internal staff simultaneously. We applaud the firms that can run a successful shop and still treat their producers and line managers with professional courtesy, respect, and dignity. |
Our team consists of a strong group of individuals with experience in the staffing industry. We all come from staffing, so we are intimate with the nuances that are unique to our industry.
Our team has experience within all of the different staffing disciplines including F&A, Administrative, LI, Healthcare, IT, Engineering, etc. We have experience with every position type and field as well - from business development to recruiting to management, as well as onsite & vender management. We will draw from our direct experience to continually improve upon our service and meet the needs of our users.
We designed Openreq from the perspective of staffing firms and staffing professionals so that the site could really drill down and provide great value to our users. |
