Bryan Borland and our team of specialists are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that when you think of staffing, you think of FirstStaff. Bryan graduated from Hendrix College in 2001 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Post-graduation, Bryan was recruited by Monticello attorney (and now Circuit Court Judge) Kenneth Johnson to serve as Johnson’s lead paralegal.

A desire to return to Central Arkansas and a shifting interest toward human resources brought Bryan to the staffing industry and FirstStaff, where he implements, oversees, and manages company-wide projects while promoting development through creative recruiting and marketing strategies. Bryan also continues legal work as part of FirstStaff CEO Steve Schulte’s law practice, which includes civil, probate, and domestic relations work.

Janet Iraburo has learned to fill last-minute job orders from customers in a bind with quality employees eager to prove themselves – and do it quickly. The highly-demanding but equally-rewarding atmosphere of FirstStaff is part of the reason she loves her job so much. Janet has watched her confidence grow alongside the company, and in performing the duties of her job, she’s learned things about herself and what she can accomplish. Prior to her current position with FirstStaff, Janet worked as an interpreter with the Health Department before being introduced to staffing at a competing company, but once we met her, we had to have her. Janet particularly enjoys the “team-atmosphere” of FirstStaff and looks forward to our continued growth and success. Janet makes sure to balance her work with her family – and part of that balance means taking her daughter to Chuck E. Cheese’s twice a week.
