Co-Founders, Hire Dynamics

October 15, 2007

They were freshmen roommates at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. At a potluck party. Drinking beer. And they got to talking about going into business together. Twelve years later, they run one of the fastest growing staffing firms in the country with $50 million in revenues, specializing in call centers, light industrial, and clerical and administrative staffing.

The company is called Hire Dynamics, and is the largest staffing firm in Gwinnett, one of the country's fastest growing counties: three years in a row with $50 million in revenues.

Atlanta native Dan Campbell is CEO; his partner and co-founder Jon Neff is CFO. Dan is big on Hire Dynamics being a good place to work.

In an industry with turnover better than 45 percent, this firm manages just 10 percent. Dan interviews every new hire himself, hires the good ones and then gets out of the way.

Dan trusts his company's board of advisers for advice, and colleagues say he lets his guard down as a leader; he's not above receiving critical feedback. His slogan, FLAP: Finish Like a Pro.

And he's a voracious reader of business books. After his interview with GH&I, he gave the CPA two books he thought were particularly good: Five Dysfunctions of a Team and the Speed of Trust.

Jon typically lets Dan take the spotlight, and Dan knows that his partner is always there for him. He and Dan have built their company through leveraging each others strengths. They each take a personal role in their employees company progression.

We honor Dan and Jon for building a company with remarkable growth and equally remarkable productivity. Together, they are number one on Catalyst's list of Top 25 Entrepreneurs.
