About Rita Staffing
The year was 1973. Richard Nixon was president. The Vietnam war ended. Miami won the Superbowl. And
The Godfather won the academy award for best picture.
1973 was also the year that Jim and Marty Dayvault founded Rita Staffing in Lakeland, a full-service recruitment and placement firm.
