Landmark Staffing helps businesses find employees and people find jobs. It's neat to have a business that is, at its core, all about helping people on both sides of that aisle. Enjoy our Q and A and get to know owner Mario Paul a little better.

GJL: How many “hole-in-one” shots have you hit? (Mario is an avid golfer)
Mario: I've had one hole-in-one after playing golf for 22 years. It was at Redlands Mesa Golf Course on Hole 12 in November of 2018.
GJL: What do you want our community to know about you?
Mario: I would like them to know that I have been married to my wife for over 15 years, have a 13-year-old son, and three dachshunds. Landmark Staffing is a business that I opened when I saw the need for a different kind of staffing agency, not just another temp company. I am always donating to charities when it comes to golf tourneys and I enjoy helping people get their foot in the door with a new job and helping businesses find the right candidates to fill roles for their company.
