Our Journey
2000s
Early Digital Pioneer
In the mid-90s, Rick launched PreEnroll, the first-ever online registration platform for youth sports-quickly adopted by 30 YMCA chapters. His patented roster-balancing algorithm and game scheduling system laid the groundwork for modern sports tech. The company was later acquired by the nation’s largest marathon registration provider.
2010
Mobile Revolution
As mobile apps reshaped industries, Rick founded Groove Development, which became one of the Northwest’s top software firms. The team built dozens of apps, including the Nike 2016 Rio Olympics app, DOJOApp (the #1 martial arts school app), and the Massage Envy app used across hundreds of locations.
2017
StaffUp is Founded
After repeated requests from staffing agencies for private-labeled apps, Rick launched StaffUpApp, initially a mobile job board, which quickly evolved into a full operating system for staffing agencies. That same year, Rick met Bryan. What began as an integration partnership soon led to Bryan joining full-time as Head of Product.
2021
Platform Expansion
StaffUp introduced digital onboarding, in-app messaging, and timesheets giving agencies a centralized, mobile-first way to manage their workforce.
2022
Scheduling Launch
We rolled out our first scheduling system, tailored for dental, healthcare, light industrial, and hospitality staffing. It marked a major leap in operational control and client satisfaction.
2023–2024
Recruiter Console & Client Portal
To help agencies compete with gig platforms, we launched a modern recruiter console and client portal. Our second major scheduling iteration dramatically improved fill rates. We also partnered with Crisp to unify messaging into a single omni-channel inbox.
2025
Cracking the Code
We believe we’ve unlocked what staffing agencies truly need to thrive: faster worker payments, flexible scheduling, and branded tech that builds loyalty. StaffingOS is the result a platform built for agency ownership, client impact, and long-term relevance.
The Best Is Yet to Come
We’re just getting started. The future of staffing is flexible, branded, and agency-led and we’re proud to be building it with you.
