Connecting talent with opportunity since 2010. We're more than a staffing agency — we're your workforce partner.
PRA Manpower was founded in 2010 by Alan Buchheit with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a staffing agency that truly understands both the needs of businesses and the aspirations of workers. Based in Albany, New York, we started as a small operation focused on light industrial staffing in the Capital Region.
Over the past 14 years, we've grown into a comprehensive workforce solutions provider, serving hundreds of companies across multiple industries throughout New York State. Our growth has been driven by one principle: delivering exceptional service and building genuine relationships with every client and candidate we work with.
Today, PRA Manpower stands as one of the Capital Region's most trusted staffing firms, known for our integrity, responsiveness, and commitment to quality placements that make a real difference.
To empower businesses with exceptional talent and provide individuals with meaningful employment opportunities. We believe that the right match between employer and employee creates value that extends far beyond the workplace — it strengthens communities and transforms lives.
