This month, we highlight SearchPros Staffing, a Sacramento-based agency specializing in workforce management that stands out as a minority and woman-owned business. Founded nearly 20 years ago, SearchPros has grown from a local company to a nationally recognized firm operating in 37 states. With its headquarters firmly rooted in Sacramento, SearchPros has achieved the honor of being ranked among the top firms in the country, reflecting its dedication to excellence and innovation.
Ronnie L. Cobb, Director of Employee Relations for SearchPros, shares insights into the company’s growth and its partnership with SETA Sacramento Works. Cobb, whose career spans over 25 years in human resources and Diversity & Inclusion initiatives for some of the country’s top companies and non-profits, credits SETA as a key collaborator in both his professional journey and the company’s success.
A Unique Approach to Staffing
SearchPros provides comprehensive workforce management solutions at all levels, offering customized services to meet each client’s unique needs. Offerings include Managed Service Programs, payrolling (employer of record), temporary staffing, and project-based staffing solutions in most labor categories. They have successfully partnered with major corporations in the aerospace, financial and mortgage industries as well as Federal, State and Local Government Agencies, placing candidates in roles requiring expertise and precision. While their services cater to clients nationwide, they remain deeply committed to community engagement by providing opportunities for job seekers at all levels.
“Our strength is finding qualified and quality talent to meet our client’s needs,” explains Cobb. “From assisting companies with executive placements to helping local job seekers, we aim to create meaningful connections that benefit both parties.”
SearchPros has been voted Best Place to Work by the Sacramento Business Journal and Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) multiple years in a row and there is a reason – committed partnerships and 5 Star Customer Service internally and with each client we serve.
A Partnership Built on Collaboration
Cobb’s personal journey with SETA Sacramento Works spans decades. He reflects on how their resources have shaped his professional growth:
“SETA Sacramento Works has been one of those bridges for me,” Cobb shares. “It connected my understanding to community, to resources, and to responsibility. Their knowledge helped me do my job better and progress aggressively throughout the years.”
Cobb also acknowledges the role SETA Sacramento Works played in the early growth of SearchPros. He highlights how his CEO, Myla Ramos, utilized local resources to transform the business into a national success:
“My CEO is very verbal about how she learned to utilize all the resources in the city and all the different types of funding that was available to new businesses. It is in part because of places like SETA Sacramento Works that SearchPros was able to grow and mature to where we are now working with major companies and government agencies around the country.”
Looking to the Future
As SearchPros approaches its 20th anniversary, Cobb envisions a strong partnership with SETA Sacramento Works. “We staff for several companies, corporations and government agencies. We would love to assist SETA’s business partners with their staffing needs and offer various training sessions where appropriate.”
SearchPros also plans to launch initiatives aimed at increasing visibility within Sacramento’s business community. By leveraging SETA’s extensive network and resources, SearchPros hopes to connect with more organizations that can benefit from its specialized staffing services.
“I want to further develop my partnership with SETA Sacramento Works and ensure not only our staff of professionals benefit from your expertise, but our hundreds of clients and contractors do as well,” Cobb emphasizes. “Let’s build and maintain Sacramento together.”
