The Cardinal Staffing Story

Cardinal Staffing was founded in 1994 by Joan Fought in Port Clinton, Ohio, after 15 years of experience in the staffing industry. Joan’s vision was simple yet powerful: to create a positive work environment that fosters success for customers, candidates, and employees alike, while building a profitable company.

Over 25 years later, Cardinal Staffing has become a trusted name in the staffing industry, expanding to serve businesses of all sizes across Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Arizona. Our growth and success are a direct result of our unwavering commitment to our core values — treating people with respect and earning their trust, day by day.

In 2023, we partnered with Surestaff to further expand our footprint and enhance our ability to serve a broader range of clients and candidates. This strategic partnership has allowed us to extend our reach, bringing our value-driven approach to new regions while strengthening our service offerings.

We are proud of the lasting relationships we’ve built over the years. Many of our clients and candidates have trusted Cardinal Staffing for the long term, and we are grateful for their continued confidence in our services.
