Every kind of staffing firm

We look at staffing firms across trades and specialties. If your firm places people for a living, it is worth a conversation.

General and industrial staffing

These firms supply light industrial crews and warehouse teams for employers that hire at volume. Many also place general labor and skilled trades support.

Tech staffing

These firms place contract developers and project teams with employers that need technical help. Many also run IT support desks and fill direct hire roles.

Sales and professional recruiting

These firms recruit sales staff and office leadership for their clients. Finance and operations searches are common in this group as well.

Clerical staffing

These firms place office support staff and admin teams in steady numbers. Customer service hiring often makes up a large share of the work.

Firms that combine contract staffing with permanent placements tend to hold up best over time. The contract work bills again each week while placement fees arrive as searches close.

What we look at

Five points shape our first read of a staffing firm. None of them should come as a surprise.

◆

Revenue of $1M to $10M a year. A record of steady years matters more to us than a single strong year.

◆

Cash flow of $300K or more that shows in your tax returns. Books that tie out to filed returns shorten the work on both sides.

◆

Revenue spread across a real client list. A firm that depends on one account carries risk a buyer has to price.

◆

Workers comp and payroll in good order. Filings should be current with no open tax or comp matters waiting for a buyer to find.

◆

A team that handles daily work without the owner in each placement. Recruiters who own their client relationships carry real value in a sale.

Why owners talk to us

01

You deal with the principals

Our principals have founded or co-founded 12+ companies and completed 3 exits. One of those companies was acquired by a publicly traded buyer.

02

No fees charged to sellers

RockHaven buys for its own account, so there is no broker fee on your side of the table. Brokers who contact us get an answer within two business days and their fee is protected.

03

Confidential from the first call

Your recruiters and your clients learn nothing from us. We discuss the firm only with you until you decide who else should know.

How a sale works

The process runs in four steps and the firm is never listed in public.

1

A private conversation

We start with a private call about the firm and what you want from a sale. Nothing from that call goes anywhere else.

2

A straight valuation

We work from your tax returns and your books to reach a price. There is no formula talk and no range designed to win the listing.

3

A structure that fits

Most deals pay cash at close with seller financing on part of the price where that suits both sides. We buy a majority position in the firms we acquire.

4

A clean close

Once terms are agreed we aim to close in four to eight weeks. The documents stay as short as the deal allows.
