About Us | Firman Solutions

Our Story

From Vision to Reality

Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to connect exceptional talent with forward-thinking companies in a way that transforms both lives and businesses.

Building the Foundation

Firman Solutions was founded in 2009 by industry veterans who saw a critical gap in the staffing market. Companies struggled to find qualified talent quickly, while skilled professionals faced challenges connecting with the right opportunities.

What started as a small agency in Atlanta has grown into a national powerhouse with offices across the United States and partnerships spanning 45+ countries. Our growth has been fueled by our commitment to understanding client needs deeply and matching them with candidates whose skills, values, and aspirations align perfectly.

"In staffing, we're not just filling positions we're building careers, strengthening businesses, and creating communities. Every placement matters."

Today, Firman Solutions serves clients ranging from innovative startups to Fortune 500 companies, helping them navigate complex talent challenges in an ever-evolving business landscape. Our 95% client retention rate speaks to the lasting relationships we build and the trust our partners place in us.
