Always Putting People First ™
About Start Staff
How We Do Things
Our work culture and customer service are just a few of the reasons our partners and vendors utilize our workforce solutions on a daily basis… and it’s not just because our customer service is unparalleled and our smiles are contagious.
Family-Like Customer Service
The work culture at Start Staff is full of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. It's no wonder our family-like atmosphere shines though in our customer service.
Easy-to-Use Technology
Our simple and innovative technology helps to streamline day-to-day processes that would normally stress you out. If it's not easy-to-use, it's not useful.
Tailor-Made Strategies
We always put people first and this is evident in the way we partner with our clients by ditching the "one-size-fits-all" model. We tailor a strategy to fit your company's needs.

Charles Tope, President, CEO & Keynote Speaker
The birth of Start Staff began with Nova Management acquired by Charles Tope in 2017 to form Start Staff to better align with his strategic vision of creating a preeminent staffing and workforce company. Charles built the company from six employees to over 15,000 and counting in 25 years.
When Charles isn’t cruising down the Pacific Coast in his ’42 WW2 Jeep honking to the waves, he is leading Start Staff’s vision and strategy. What began as a passion for connecting talented people with great companies evolved into a mission to provide end-to-end workforce solutions for our clients to help accomplish their everyday global business initiatives.
"The story of Start Staff is summed up in one word: family."
Though lady luck is never by Charles’s side at the casinos, he fortunately stumbled upon his own forever lady luck and love, Kim, during one eventful night in Las Vegas. Without the support of his wife and his two boys, Maxwell and Hunter, Charles would undoubtedly still be chasing his dream of racing against Ricky Bobby of Talladega Nights. He holds a BA in History from Saint Mary’s College of California. Charles is also part of a large family as the youngest of 10 siblings. So you know he’s been beaten down so much by his older siblings that he is now impervious to any mishaps that may come his way. He is always surrounded by family and others, thus he has no choice to be “Always Putting People First”.
Book Charles to speak at your conference, training event, or round table.
