Founded in 1999, Mindlance is a certified diversity business (MBE) and has been ranked one of the fastest growing U.S staffing firms by SIA for nine consecutive years.
We have also been consistently recognized as one of the best performing partners to industry-leading MSP programs. As a recruitment centric talent acquisition company, Mindlance provides Technology, Engineering, Digital / Creative / Marketing, Clinical Research, Scientific, Finance, Professional and Payroll Management staffing services to Global 1000 companies across the US, Canada and India. With an annual revenue of over $ 400 million and growing, the Mindlance story is one of calculable achievement. What began with contingent staffing has developed to a wide-ranging portfolio of comprehensive workforce solutions. These fall under three broad offerings: specialized talent-centric staffing, diverse/under-represented talent-centric upskilling and incubation/acceleration services, along with what can be termed cost management-centric Pay+ services: Direct Sourcing, EoR/Payroll, IC Compliance and AoR.
As we grow, our commitment is to remain mindful that our actions must be a driver for balance in the work and societal ecosystem.
So there we were in 1996, two kindergarten friends, fresh out of grad school MBAs. Alight with ideas, we were going to set the world on fire; we were going to change the way business was done. Y2K loomed, and the world of business was moving in completely unanticipated ways. We had entrepreneurial zeal and we wanted to start something new, but we also wanted to create a space where no one would be expected to play conventional roles, where we could provide intuitive solutions for the way businesses were heading. We wanted to rework “work”. We started thinking about working to offer talented professionals freedom and choices in the assignments they picked up-a kind of a freelance of the mind. In 1999, this synthesized to form our name and our calling-“Mindlance”.
That’s where we started. Thankfully, we have not set the world on fire. But in our own way, in a way that counts for us, we are changing the way business is done.
Mindlance’s core value system of cultivating mindfulness and balance, from which our name is derived, gives us a worldview, so that our philosophy for work flows seamlessly from our philosophy for life.
As we grow, our commitment is to remain mindful that our actions must be a driver for balance in the work and societal ecosystem. Mindfulness is not an idea for the mountaintop- we find that it makes great business sense. It makes us responsive, present and precise in what we say and do, and it keeps us intuitive and authentic in our actions.
It also makes us strive for balance, so we aim to create the best possible outcomes for everyone. We find them through a commitment to what we call the 4Ps – People, Partnership, Performance and Process. As Mindlance has matured from a contingent staffing firm into an AI-first workforce platform and product company, that operating philosophy has expanded into a 6P model – the original four Ps plus Platform and Product – underpinned by a 3D delivery foundation of Domain, Data and Delivery.
People and Partnership remain the cultural core: we hire, develop and retain recruiters and account leaders for the long term, and we measure ourselves by the durability of our client relationships rather than the size of any single transaction. Performance and Process give that culture discipline – SLA-governed delivery, independent QA/QC, and a continuous-improvement mindset that treats recruitment maturation as a never-ending journey. Platform and Product reflect the most significant shift in our culture over the past several years: Mindlance now builds its own technology. AbilityStack, our proprietary AI-native workforce platform, is the operational backbone of everything we deliver and the clearest expression of a culture that invests ahead of the market rather than buying tooling off the shelf.
The 6Ps are made operational through three disciplines we refer to as the 3Ds. Domain – deep, vertical-specific expertise built over 26 years, so that our recruiters understand the businesses, regulatory environments and role archetypes they staff for. Data – a single, de-duplicated, enriched golden copy of US talent intelligence that turns sourcing from a manual search into an evidence-based discipline. Delivery – dedicated, SLA-governed teams that convert domain knowledge and data into placed, retained talent. Culturally, the 3Ds keep us grounded: we believe technology should make expert recruiters faster and more precise, and never replace the human judgment and relationships on which our clients rely.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion is a natural outcome of our worldview.
We are a certified MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) and ranked as one of the largest US diversity staffing firms.
We are excited to both fully participate and take the lead in doing everything we can to close the opportunity gap. Being in workforce solutions gives us an opening to leverage our resources and take action for change to happen now. Our diverse/under-represented talent upskilling and acceleration services are part of our resolve to create immediate impact on the work ecosystem.
By investing in and cultivating diverse talent, generating new and broader talent pipelines and ensuring our clients are able to meet high diversity goals, we want to help create a culture of true inclusion.
Social responsibility is the bedrock of our philosophy.
We believe that we are part of an organic, living whole. We only thrive when we all do. The community supports and empowers us immeasurably. We manifest our gratitude by giving our attention and sharing resources where we think they might be best utilized.
Over the years, our level of engagement with the community has grown deeper and more meaningful. In sharing, we find much that is of value to us. We are enriched by all shades of the human experience, and by the profound awareness of our own humanity and belonging.
