Our Story
Every Great Movement Begins With a Calling
From a kitchen table to a nationwide staffing partner — shaped by faith, perseverance, and people.
Founded at the Kitchen Table
JMI Resource was founded by Marty and Christina Davenport following years of experience in the staffing industry and much prayerful consideration. The company was born not out of ambition alone, but out of obedience — a conviction to use God-given talents as a platform to serve others with excellence and integrity.
From Side Hustle to Full-Time Mission
In the early years, JMI grew steadily as Christina balanced full-time work as an HR Specialist while supporting the business during evenings and weekends. As demand increased and relationships deepened, JMI Resource reached a turning point — requiring full-time leadership and focused growth. What followed was a transformation from a small, family-run operation into a trusted staffing partner serving hundreds of employees daily across Florida.
Resilience Through Crisis
Amid the challenges of COVID-19, JMI Resource was called upon to support essential businesses by providing critical staffing solutions during a time of uncertainty. At the same time, Christina faced an unexpected personal challenge when her husband suffered a serious accident. Leading the company through operational disruption while caring for her family required resilience, faith, and determination. Through it all, JMI not only endured — but grew.
When Challenges Arise, JMI Shows Up
That season reinforced what had always defined the company. Today, following the acquisition of 5-Star Staffing Solutions, JMI Resource operates as a nationwide staffing partner supporting placements across multiple states — including executive-level, highly skilled, and operational roles. From a kitchen table to a growing, multi-state organization, the mission remains the same.

COMMON QUESTIONS
You ask, we answer
Have questions about our staffing process? Here are answers to the things employers and job seekers ask us most.
It depends on the role, but we’re built for speed. Many light industrial and warehouse positions are filled within 24–48 hours. Specialized roles like healthcare or administrative positions may take slightly longer to ensure the right fit — but we always move with urgency because we know your business can’t wait.
We specialize in five core industries: healthcare, light industrial and warehouse, manufacturing, administrative and office support, and recycling and environmental facilities. Our recruiters have hands-on experience in each of these sectors, which means we understand your challenges and your workforce needs.
All three. Whether you need temporary coverage for a seasonal surge, a temp-to-hire arrangement to evaluate fit before committing, or a direct-hire placement for a permanent role — we tailor our approach to match what works best for your business and your budget.
Every candidate goes through a thorough process that includes interviews, reference checks, skills assessments, and background screenings. We don’t just send bodies — we send people who are qualified, reliable, and aligned with your workplace culture and expectations.
Getting started is easy. Browse our open positions on our Jobs page and apply online, or contact us directly. One of our recruiters will reach out to discuss your experience, goals, and availability — and match you with opportunities that fit your skills and your life.
We’re faith-driven and people-first. That’s not a tagline — it’s how we operate every day. We build real relationships with our clients and our workers because we believe staffing is about people, not transactions. Our industry specialization, responsive service, and long-term partnership approach set us apart from agencies that treat staffing as a numbers game.
