Co-Owner

Co-owners Cecilia Fiterman-Cook and Mercy Turugh met as coworkers in 2007 and immediately recognized the potential for a powerful business partnership. Both women immigrated to the United States and dreamed of starting and growing their own businesses. Recognizing both shared goals and the shared values of making their communities a better place, the two teamed up to form SMART Staffing Group, Inc. in 2014.

What started as an idea between two coworkers quickly grew into a successful, full-service staffing and workforce development firm. SMART Staffing Group, Inc. gained a reputation for excellence, thanks to the founders’ determination, hard work and commitment to service excellence. Based on that reputation, the firm quickly grew. Today, SMART Staffing Group, Inc. serves a variety of industries, is committed to developing the workforce of tomorrow, and serves a diverse client and candidate base in New York State, in the Mid-Hudson Valley area and in the Tri-State area.
