Shane Rizzotti
Partner, Business Development
Location: Nanuet, NY
Shane, born and raised in Rockland County, is half of the second generation running the RJ-Staffing family business day-to-day. He has been stuffing envelopes since he was 6 years old, began temping at 18 years old, and began working internally for the firm in 2010. Since then, Shane has grown from an Account Executive to Vice President, enhanced our service lines from temporary staffing to executive headhunting, increased our geographic area of recruiting capability, and expanded our internal team. When he’s not developing our next company initiative, overseeing working relationships with his long-standing clientele, or recruiting the next internal staff member, you can find him on the golf course, spending quality time with his wife and son, or working in the yard at his woodland West Nyack, NY home.
Taylor Rose Mezzio
Partner, Operations
Location: New City, NY
Taylor Rose, born and raised in Rockland County, is half of the second generation running the RJ-Staffing family business day-to-day. She has been making shredder spaghetti and stuffing envelopes on Take Your Daughter to Work Day since she was a toddler and began working internally for the firm in 2015. Since then, Taylor Rose has grown from a Human Resources Assistant to Vice President, increased the efficiency of our back office/accounting operations, enhanced our marketing/branding reach and uniformity, and spearheaded some of our largest process improvement projects to date. When she’s not running our weekly payroll, crunching numbers for team commissions, or building better company infrastructure, you can find her with her nose stuck in a book, at Walt Disney World with her husband, or playing with her Standard Poodle Louie in the backyard of her Bardonia, NY home.
Roy Rizzotti
Founder
Location: Nanuet, NY
Roy, born and raised in the Bronx until the age of 13, moved to Rockland County in 1972, where he still resides today. Roy entered the staffing industry unknowingly when he applied for a position through a staffing firm in 1984 and ended up being brought on to join the internal team. In 1989, he sold his first staffing company, went on to run several national staffing agencies in the role of Vice President, became the President of a national brand, and ultimately went on to found RJ-Staffing in 1996. Roy was an innovator and maintains the legacy of having founded the longest operating staffing firm in Rockland County. He also expertly groomed two of his three children on the ins and outs of the business over the course of their lives and now takes great pride in watching them oversee daily firm operations. When he is not providing guidance on complex business strategy, attending routine management meetings, or dropping in on company birthday and holiday celebrations, you can find him out around town with his wife and children, baking some delicious homemade bread, or playing with his German Shepherds Harper and Max in either his New City, NY or Roscoe, NY backyard.
