About Us
GPS helps people and businesses navigate a route to success.
Our Story
Founder Charles S. Gallman opened the first GPS staffing and recruiting office in Orangeburg, SC in 1985. Over the years, the GPS team expanded both the services offered and the company’s reach to meet growing demand. When Charlie retired in 2018, Nanci Fields, who was hired in 1986 two weeks after she started college, took over as President/CEO. MJ Sorrell, who joined the team in 1988, was promoted to COO. In 2023, Nanci and MJ became co-owners upon purchasing GPS from Charlie. With offices in Columbia, SC; Newberry, SC; Orangeburg, SC; Summerville, SC; Hot Springs, AR; and Tucson, AZ, the dedicated GPS team strives every day to live out our mission of, “Serving our communities and enriching lives by connecting people and jobs.”

What People Are Saying About GPS
The staff at GPS Hot Springs has always been helpful and responsive with our staffing needs, and we have seen the value in letting GPS staff for our production positions. Some of our best production employees came through GPS over the last twelve (12) years. We look forward to the next generation!
Your team has been absolutely phenomenal over the years we have been partnering together for my organization’s staffing needs. The quality of workers you guys provide is outstanding. The professionalism of the workers you provide and office staff make working with GPS a real pleasure and partnering experience. Thank you so much for all you guys do for us.
My company and I have used GPS–Gallman for several years for all of our immediate and temporary employee needs. I recently had a temp, which I hated to let go because I was so impressed with work ethics and ability to handle anything which I requested…a very impressive and great company to work with.
GPS has been instrumental in providing me with a great position that could potentially become a permanent full-time position offering great benefits. I would recommend utilizing their services if you’re interested in a position that is suitable for your needs and provides adequate financial support in the midst of a pandemic. This is my first time using a temp agency, and I would definitely recommend them for your employment needs. GPS is a valuable agency with great people working to serve you and treat you like family!!!!
I would like to advise and give to you and your organization a thank you note for your excellent services specially from your Senior Director, Georgette B. Sandifer. Without Georgette’s excellent, organized, and transparent communication as well her diligent execution during the early interviewing process, I wouldn’t have found an adequate company with the precise fit for my professional career in order to continue with my next steps to continue with my professional executive growth. I’m very grateful for having found so competent partner in Georgette, and I’m glad for you that you can count in your company with a person with such professional competences like her. Thank you again, and I’m looking forward to working in the future with Gallman consulting again for my company endeavors.
