Our History

Founded in Greenville, South Carolina in 1996 by Ray Lattimore, then a business analyst for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Marketplace Staffing was created to fill the staffing needs of local South Carolina businesses.

Successful from the outset, in 1999 Marketplace began a working relationship with Procter & Gamble’s Greenville facility that catapulted the firm from small, local player to a regionally focused staffing specialist.  Today’s Marketplace Staffing Services, Inc. is a regional provider of high quality, value-added staffing services and solutions to leading regional, national and international companies. 

Headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina and a Certified Minority Business Enterprise, Marketplace Staffing operates multiple offices across America and is one of the leading independent staffing providers in the Southeast.

Its mission is to help every client achieve the highest level of success possible by providing them with world-class, comprehensive staffing and productivity solutions.  To do so, Marketplace maintains active memberships in and alliances with numerous professional organizations, and leverages those alliances to generate positive results and added-value for clients.  The Marketplace way is to approach every client relationship with the highest standards of integrity, and to bring an unwavering level of commitment to each client’s success.
