Alex Bakker is the Owner, President, and Executive Recruiter at USA Staffing Network.
With more than 26 years in talent acquisition, including 18 years focused on healthcare, he's built a career on understanding what makes the right hire actually work, not just look good on paper.
A lifelong Rochester native, Alex spends his summers chasing sunsets across the Finger Lakes, exploring the Thousand Islands, and hiking the Adirondacks with his family.
If you ask him, Upstate New York has some of the best-kept secrets in the country, and he's happy to tell you about them.
Alex graduated from St. John Fisher College with a degree in Communications and Business Management.
Alex spent the first 9 years of his recruiting career working for large global recruiting companies as a Information Technology Recruiter.
In 2004, he founded USA Staffing Network to assist employers and job seekers with high demand, low supply recruiting challenges.
USA Staffing Network specializes in finding candidates who are in high demand and short supply, the roles that keep hiring managers up at night. We handle both direct hire and contract placements, with deep expertise across Healthcare, Account Management, and Talent Acquisition strategies.
Our approach is simple: use every tool available. Job boards, networks, databases, cold outreach, whatever it takes to find the right person. But more often than not, it's our long-standing relationships that seal the deal. Two decades of trust doesn't happen overnight, and it shows in the quality of our placements.

Great placements rarely happen in isolation. USA Staffing Network taps into established recruiter networks across the U.S. and around the world, giving us access to shared resources, deeper candidate pools, and some of the sharpest headhunters in the business. But that reach never means getting passed around, you'll work with a single point of contact from first conversation to final placement. We're affiliated with:
· NPA Worldwide – member since 2002
· National Coalition of Healthcare Recruiters (NCHCR) – member since 2014
· Top Echelon – Database user since 2007; member since 2019
