The Kforce Story: 50 Plus Years of Great People Delivering Great Results

for everyone. It’s large and at the same time it has deep entrepreneurial roots where you can put your footprint on the firm.” Kye Mitchell, whose enthusiasm is infectious, observed, “Kforce is fun—it’s very driven, we’re very competitive, we have a lot of fun, but we drive really hard, and I think it shows in the results we’re continuing to deliver every year.” Speaking to a group of associates gathered in Tampa, Dave Dunkel gave this reflective and heartfelt address: “There are people that came before, there are people here today, and there

are people that will come after us. But the most important thing is that we have a responsibility to carry on the legacy and the values of those who went before and those who have chosen to be here today. It’s my honor and privilege to be a part of this organization and to see all the wonderful people that have been here. It really is amazing to see how far we’ve come, and even more amazing is the opportunity that’s ahead of us.” For fifty years, long before the slogan itself was created, Kforce has been committed to the idea that Great People = Great Results. No one can reasonably predict where a business venture will go when the doors are first opened. But Dave Dunkel knew, from the very beginning as he built his team, that the success or failure of his business would hang on this simple idea. Fifty years later, Dave now sits at the helm of a staffing firm that includes sixty domestic offices and one international office in forty-one markets generating more than $1 billion in annual revenue. They serve more than 4,500 clients with more than 2,000 associates and more than 9,000 consultants. But what Dave Dunkel, Bill Sanders, and the more than 2,200 Kforce associates are justified in being even more proud of, is the fact that this firm has grown to that distinction by remaining steadfast to its core values of respect, integrity, trust, exceptional service, commitment and fun, and stewardship to its communities. Their success is evidenced not just in the bottom line, but in the enthusiastic smiles and attitudes of Kforce’s accomplished associates. In an age when style frequently overshadows substance and mediocrity is too often tolerated, Kforce stands above the rest, proud of its heritage and poised for its future. As they mark their fiftieth anniversary, they can proudly proclaim that they have indeed achieved their vision, “ To have a meaningful impact on all the lives we serve. ” TM
