Our RicanNECT Story


At the heart of every opportunity lies a powerful connection — and that’s exactly what we were built to create.

RicanNECT Direct Staffing was born during the pandemic, a time of uncertainty that demanded resilience and purpose. Founded by Ismary Szegedi, our journey began with a bold mission: to bridge the gap between exceptional talent and the companies that need them most.

What started as a passion project quickly grew into a trusted partner in the staffing world — driven by innovation, community, and an unwavering belief in people. From our roots in Connecticut to a growing national presence, RicanNECT has helped employers and job seekers navigate an ever-changing workforce with confidence.

Now, we’re stepping boldly into our next chapter.

In Summer 2025, RicanNECT Direct Staffing will evolve into RicanNECTX.ai — a rebrand that reflects our future-forward approach. This transformation is more than a new name. It represents the integration of AI-powered recruiting solutions that enhance every step of the process — from candidate sourcing and prescreening to employer matching and workforce insights.

With smarter technology, deeper data, and a stronger commitment to human connection, RicanNECTX.ai is redefining how talent and opportunity connect.

Because at RicanNECTX.ai, we don’t just fill positions.
✨ We empower potential.
✨ We elevate careers.
✨ We connect the future.


We empower potential. We elevate careers. We connect the future.
