Ten years ago, Ursus was nothing more than an idea and a lot of hope. I still remember those early days—pulling cash out of the ATM to cover payroll, juggling every hat from salesperson to recruiter to IT support, and wondering if we’d make it through the next month or quarter or year.
Fast forward to today…
We’ve hit many exciting milestones and made plenty of mistakes on our way up, but along the way, we built a national, remote-first team that has been recognized four years running as one of the fastest-growing creative and technical staffing firms in the country.
None of this happened by accident.
To our management team, your leadership, resilience, and commitment to doing things the right way, the Ursus Way, is the heartbeat of our company. You’ve weathered storms, solved what at the time seemed like impossible problems, and built a culture that puts people first, helps to make them better staffing professionals, their jobs easier, and hopefully has resulted in a lot of fun winning along the way.

To our investors, board of directors, and advisory board, thank you for believing in this company, our team, and our vision, long before it was easy or obvious. Your guidance, patience, and strategic insight helped shape every step of this journey. Michael Panico R. Doug Cain
To our clients and partners, thank you for your trust. Thank you for choosing us again and again, as well as referring us to your colleagues and friends. There is no greater endorsement than an introductory referral. You’ve pushed us to be better, faster, more innovative, and efficient, and we’re stronger for it.
To our consultants, you’re the face of Ursus every day. Your talent, professionalism, and hustle represent everything we stand for. You make us proud.
And to the entire Ursus team, past and present—you’ve made this place more than a company. You’ve made it a community built on GRIT, heart, humor, and a shared belief in building something great together, with the attempt at doing it the “right way” every day.
It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s always been worth it.
Here’s to the last 10, and to the next in front of us!
