Why We LOVE InStride! Real-life Team Perspectives
Why I (Louis) love working at InStride!
“Throughout my career, I’ve worked at companies of all sizes, from corporate skyscrapers where no one knows your name (cue the Cheers theme song), to smaller businesses where you wear multiple hats and make your own coffee. What I’ve learned about myself is simple: I thrive when I’m not just a cog in the machine. When I can actually connect, contribute, and create. And that’s exactly what makes InStride so special.
From day one, I’ve felt a level of trust here that’s rare in the world of staffing. I’m not just trusted to do my job. I’m trusted to help shape the direction of the company. My ideas are heard, my voice matters, and there’s an open-door culture that encourages creativity, collaboration, and (let’s be honest) a few well-timed memes in Teams!
Lauren Faraone is truly the backbone of the team. She shows up every single day to support, guide, and lift us all up. If you’ve ever seen someone juggle 47 things at once and still have time to check in on how your morning coffee turned out… that’s Lauren.
Then there’s Morgan – our fearless CEO. If Lauren is the backbone, Morgan is absolutely the heart of InStride. She’s built something incredibly rare: a company that’s serious about making a difference in people’s lives – candidates, clients, and ours! Morgan leads with heart, unwavering support, and grace. One minute we’re talking about client and candidate updates, the next we’re swapping pet stories or recommending our latest must-read books! It’s that balance of drive and being so down to earth that sets her (and InStride) apart.
There’s a genuine passion here from the entire team for helping people – candidates, clients, and each other. Every day feels like another page in a story I actually want to write. And I’m excited to keep turning the pages, growing alongside a team that truly believes in what we do.
InStride isn’t just a place to work. It’s a place to build, to laugh, to learn, and occasionally, to share dog photos mid-meeting. What more could you ask for?”
Why I (Kyle) love working at InStride!
“One of the things that makes InStride so special is how well we all collaborate. The level of support across the team is unreal, and it makes the job feel so much easier knowing you’re never expected to figure everything out on your own. Everyone’s willing to help however they can, and that kind of teamwork really sets us apart.
As for Morgan, it means a lot to have a CEO who’s always in your corner. Even with everything on her plate, she always lets us know that she’s ready to jump in and help however she can, and she constantly shows us that she’s here to support us with whatever we need. That kind of leadership makes a huge difference and is not always available at other companies.”
One Year with InStride Staffing: Lauren
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year with InStride Staffing—time has absolutely flown by. This past year has been filled with growth, challenges, and countless lessons. In the world of startups, every day brings something new—whether it’s trial and error, unexpected wins, or bold leaps of faith. And through it all, one thing has remained constant: I’ve never loved a job or believed in a company more.
InStride truly feels like home. It’s where I’ve been trusted to bring my knowledge and experience to the table, to help build something meaningful from the ground up. That opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible CEO, Morgan Miller. From the very beginning, Morgan created a unique, anti-corporate environment—one where we’re encouraged to do things differently, challenge the status quo, and forge our own path forward.
What makes InStride so special is that every voice here matters. No one is micro-managed. Every idea is welcomed, and every decision is made as a team. This culture of openness, trust, and collaboration fosters not only motivation but genuine camaraderie. And it’s that people-first approach—rooted in respect and fairness—that sets us apart from so many others in the staffing industry.
Morgan, in particular, is a rare kind of leader. She values people over profit, always. She refuses to let anyone—on our team, or among our clients or candidates—be disrespected, even if it means turning away business. She leads with both her mind and her heart, and she inspires those around her to do the same. She asks for input, encourages creativity, and takes the time to see the full picture before making a decision. Her ability to navigate complex situations with empathy and clarity is something I deeply admire.
I’ve made mistakes along the way—more than I’d like to admit—but Morgan has always guided me with patience and grace. She’s taught me so much, not just about leadership or business, but about integrity, compassion, and the kind of professional I want to be. She’s not just a CEO—she’s been a mentor, a sounding board, and a true friend.
My favorite thing about working at InStride is the freedom we have to make a real impact. Everyone here contributes in meaningful ways, and it never feels like you’re just filling a role. There’s a purpose behind everything we do, and that energy is contagious.
This first year has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, and I know it’s only the beginning. My hope is that InStride becomes my forever home—and that I can help make it wildly successful, not only to give back to the company, but to thank Morgan for all she’s given me, our team, and the incredible culture she’s built.
Here’s to year one—and to everything ahead.
What Makes InStride So Special: AveMaria
As we celebrate our one-year anniversary, I’ve taken time to reflect on what truly makes InStride a special place to work, and for me, it comes down to the incredible sense of purpose, appreciation, and community I’ve experienced since day one.
What sets InStride apart is that it’s a place where I’ve genuinely been able to witness the impact of my work. Here, the effort you put in is not only seen but deeply valued. That kind of recognition is rare, and it’s something I don’t take for granted.
Equally meaningful has been the camaraderie and authentic support that exists across our team. Every day, I get to collaborate with people who are not only exceptional in their roles but also wholeheartedly invested in each other’s success. That kind of culture fosters both confidence and growth.
What inspires me most is knowing that I’m playing a role in building something lasting and impactful. InStride is a place full of possibilities… both for my own development and for the growth of others around me. The care we extend to our clients and candidates is matched by the care we show each other, and that human-first approach is something that truly defines this company.
I’m so proud to be a part of this journey and even more excited for all that lies ahead.
Why I (Maddie) love working at InStride!
“InStride is more than just a workplace; it’s a company dedicated to fostering both your professional and personal development. As I take a moment to reflect on the past year with InStride, I’m reminded of where we started and all that we have achieved together. I feel immense pride in the growth, challenges, successes, and the incredible team we have built, as well as the strong company image we’ve established.
Of course, not everything has gone perfectly, especially in the early stages of our journey. But it’s how we navigate these challenges, led by our team and our owner, that truly matters. Morgan exemplifies what it means to be a successful and inspiring business owner. She genuinely supports us, maintains a down-to-earth and realistic approach, and stands with us through both the highs and lows. She wants her company to be successful and her employees to be successful. I aspire to embody her qualities one day!
Not only is Morgan so supportive, but every member of this team is. They are always prepared to assist you at a moment’s notice and are unafraid to share their opinions in ways that can help you reach a higher standard. Without our incredible team, InStride would not exist. It’s the daily dedication, extended hours, unseen efforts, and challenging days that truly define who we are.
I couldn’t be more grateful and proud of where I work and the person I have grown into – all thanks to InStride Staffing! Cheers to YEAR 1, now here’s to YEAR 2!”
What Makes InStride So Unique: Jeremy
What makes InStride Staffing special is the team’s passion for helping people finalize their career path by getting to know them beyond their skill sets and salary requirements. This approach allows us to connect them with the companies that complement their work style, personality, and values, thus creating a more natural and lasting fit.
What I most appreciate about Morgan is her effortless ability to blend humanity, generosity, and compassion with a keen, analytical business mind. Her insights are always warm and thought-provoking. We are all very fortunate to work for such an outstanding CEO!
One Year Down, a Legacy in the Making
InStride Staffing isn’t just a company—it’s a community. A place where passion meets purpose, where hard work is matched with genuine support, and where every voice matters. What makes InStride the most fantastic place to work isn’t just the perks or the progress—it’s the people. It’s the fearless leadership of Morgan Miller, the shared belief that we rise by lifting others, and the culture that encourages you to grow into the very best version of yourself.
One year in, we’ve proven that when you lead with integrity, operate with heart, and stay true to your vision, there’s nothing you can’t achieve. We’re not just building a business—we’re building something meaningful, together.
Here’s to the first incredible year, and to many more ahead. Let’s keep growing, learning, and staying always InStride.
