Our Story

Masterson is a leading
Wisconsin Iowa Michigan Kansas Minnesota staffing agency. 

How It Began

We Started With Just One Midwest Location

Owen Masterson founded Masterson Personnel in 1968, starting with a single office in Golden Valley, Mn, and team of three recruiters focused on direct hire placement. His goal was to help companies bridge the growing talent gap.

In 1972, Greg Masterson, our current CEO, joined the team, solidifying our status as a family-owned and operated business. Dan Masterson, our current CEO, came on board in 1975, continuing our family’s legacy.

The company expanded into temporary staffing in Minnesota during the late 1980’s, fueling its growth.

In 1992, we opened our first branch outside of Minnesota, expanding into Michigan to meet customer demand. With over a century of combined experience, Masterson has worked with a diverse range of talent and companies.

As a family-owned and operated business since 1968, we are proud of our origins and the relationships we’ve built with both job seekers and companies.

In the early 2000’s, the third generation of the Masterson family became more involved in the business, spearheading the rebranding of Masterson Personnel to Masterson Staffing Solutions. This included a new logo, brand, voice, and mission. We also launched a new website, providing Masterson with a cutting-edge look, an intuitive user experience, and an easy-to-use job seeker portal.

With cutting-edge technology, we launched our first mobile app in the spring of 2024.

How We've Grown

From One Location to a Regional Powerhouse

Masterson started as a small local business, and thanks to our team of experienced staffing professionals, we’ve grown into a premier professional, manufacturing, and warehouse temp agency and staffing solutions provider with nearly 40 branches across the Midwest and an employee base of hundreds of thousands of quality workers.

How We Give Back

Masterson is Committed to Community Involvement

Along with contributing to the success and development of the people and businesses of the communities in which we live and work, we give back through time and contributions. Every year we sponsor and participate in several fundraisers and charity events for organizations that make a difference in our communities. Some of the national organizations we’ve worked with include St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, the Alzheimer’s Association, and the American Cancer Society. We’ve also worked with smaller, local organizations such as chambers of commerce, Interfaith Outreach, and small foundations.
