— Founder and CEO, Ray Rafeek

Admiral Staffing Inc., founded in 2008, is a Minority Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) and a member of the American Staffing Association which promotes legal, ethical, and professional practices for the staffing industry. Admiral Staffing belongs to the New York Staffing Association which serves as the voice of the staffing industry for the state of New York and is one of the largest affiliated chapters of the American Staffing Association.

The companies we work with know they can depend on the temporary, temp to hire, payroll services, and direct hire placement assistance we offer.

As staffing specialists, we're frequently called upon to supply personnel for temporary assignments such as accounting help and other office support coverage for workers on vacation or family leave. We can do full life cycle project staffing as well, yet we are especially proud of our Talent Acquisition track record, often helping companies fill their most challenging direct hire positions.

Some of these roles have included: Attorneys, Production Coordinators, Architects, Construction Supervisors, Art Directors, Nurse Practitioners, Human Resources Managers, Quality Engineers, Project Leaders, and other project team members. These job titles represent only a partial list of positions Admiral Staffing has filled for a variety of different industries which include the following types of organizations:

  • Trauma 1 and Teaching Hospitals

  • Long Term Care and Recovery Centers

  • Law Firms

  • Manufacturing Facilities

  • Construction Companies

  • Locomotive Corporations

  • Investment Advisories

  • Fashion Companies

Admiral Staffing functions as a “no job is too big or too small” HR Business Partner; whether we're tasked with finding a Warehouse Worker, a Medical Office Assistant, or a Chief Financial Officer, our determined recruiters get results.

Founder and CEO, Ray Rafeek

In 1987, Ray Rafeek ventured to the US to build businesses based on his passion for connecting people and communities. Over the next two decades, Ray would build a strong reputation and portfolio of clients through the courier business: starting with the purchase of a single van, and growing exponentially to serve hundreds of companies in New York City.

In 2008, leveraging the success of Admiral Courier, Ray launched Admiral Staffing to address a growing need among his clientele for reliable and customized staffing solutions with a truly personalized approach.

Ray's day to day responsibilities with Admiral Staffing encompass business planning and development; sales, marketing, bids, contract negotiation, as well as all managerial decisions that involve hiring and employee development.

Ray's busy CEO calendar often includes business association conferences and events where he is the keynote speaker. Ray believes in "giving back" to the community and has been honored for his numerous contributions.

Though Ray is currently a member of several trade and business organizations, the role of civic minded citizen is one which Ray embraced many years ago; and among his special honors, Ray is proud of being a Delegate to the White House Conference on Small Business in 1995.

From 2012 to the present, Admiral Staffing has tripled its growth through Ray's continuing vision for creating strong communities and networks one at a time.
