Our History

WorkForce Unlimited was founded in 1987 by Teresa Lewis of Mount Airy, North Carolina to meet the seasonal demands of local companies.

As our company grew, we expanded our service offerings to meet the changing demands of our clients. We adopted the name WorkForce Unlimited in 2014 to represent our company’s strength, diversity, and capacity for growth.

In 2016, we added divisions to meet the changing needs of our clients. AREVO Group was born, and WorkForce Unlimited is proud to be a part of the AREVO Group family of companies. 2020 brought a new look and feel to the brand.

The values that drive us.

RESPECT

We show up for people—our clients, our team, our community. That means listening before speaking, valuing every perspective, and treating others with dignity. A quick email response, a thank-you note, or simply asking, “Is this a good time?”—respect is built in the details.

INTEGRITY

We do what’s right, even when no one’s watching. That means honest conversations, clear expectations, and delivering on our promises. If something’s off, we fix it. If news needs sharing—good or bad—we don’t spin it; we own it.

COMMITMENT

We follow through. We take pride in every placement, every client relationship, and every team we build. We’re in it for the long haul, and that means owning our role, taking responsibility, and doing the work. A handshake with us means something—we keep our word.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We don’t wait to be told what to do—we anticipate, act, and adapt. From hitting KPIs to making sure clients and candidates get what they need, we take ownership of every outcome. We step up, solve problems, and get it done.

INNOVATION

Great ideas don’t wait for permission. We push limits, question the usual way, and turn industry insight into action. Every new tool, tactic, and breakthrough fuels success for our clients, candidates, and communities. The future of workforce solutions isn’t written yet—we’re busy creating it.

GROWTH

We thrive on momentum. We push forward, learn from every challenge, and never settle. Whether it’s staying ahead of industry shifts, sharpening our skills, or opening new doors for our clients and candidates.
