The Arnold Group Story
A Vision Takes Flight
After 15 years of experience with large, national staffing corporations, George Arnold and his wife, Marion, decided it was time for a new chapter. In 1979, they launched The Arnold Group (TAG) as an Olsten Staffing Services franchise in Wichita, Kansas. Their single office soon expanded into multiple locations across south-central Kansas. By 2000, the Arnolds had gained their independence and rebranded the company as The Arnold Group.
Our Founding Principles
George and Marion’s vision was clear: to deliver top-notch recruiting and staffing solutions tailored to the Wichita business community and beyond. Their approach was grounded in their experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and a core belief in “putting the customers first and developing long-term relationships with them.”
A Commitment to Excellence
Over the years, our commitment to these founding principles, along with significant investments in people and technology, has established The Arnold Group as one of the Midwest’s most respected recruiting firms. Unlike large national companies, we are an independent, third-generation, family-owned business. Our focus on integrity, quality, and client-first relationships sets us apart.
Our Legacy and Future
With over 45 years of service, we’ve built a solid reputation for superior service and unwavering commitment to our clients and associates. Our Mission and Values reflect our dedication to maintaining these high standards, evolving from a singular service to a comprehensive provider of workforce solutions.
