Dustin Cureton
Owner - Caldwell
Location: Caldwell, Idaho
I began my journey with Gem State Staffing in the Boise location way back in 2005. We only had 3 branches at that time! Over the years, I've managed Boise, Twin Falls-Burley, and back to Boise again. I was promoted to COO/District Manager for Idaho and our single location in Salt Lake City, and operated in that capacity for 8 years. We opened several new locations under my direction and increased our geographic footprint to cover all of Southern Idaho. Many of the employees currently employed by Gem State Staffing were hired and trained by me, a feat I am very proud of.
In early 2020 the ownership for Gem State Staffing offered me an opportunity to buy the Caldwell branch and operate the location under a franchise-like agreement. I'm happy to report that in January 2024, I completed my purchase of Gem State Staffing-Caldwell.
Marcus DeLeon
Branch Manager - Payette
Location: Payette, Idaho
I have been in the staffing industry since 2010. I worked alongside Jeremiah and under Dustin to grow the Boise office into one of the most prominent branches in the area and within the company. In 2015, I became the Branch Manager for the Nampa location and in 2018, the District Manager over Eastern Idaho. Over the course of close to 6 years, I enjoyed seeing record growth in the 5 offices I oversaw. In the end of 2023 I entered an ownership agreement for a single location as part of an extension into Western Idaho/Eastern Oregon with a new office in Payette, ID. I believe that determination with customized individual solutions sets us apart, and I’m very excited for opening day of the new Payette Branch set to begin operations early-mid February 2024.

Sometimes finding qualified talent or being on the front lines of finding a new job opportunity can be a difficult and tiresome process. I'm not here to say I'll solve all of your problems but my dedication to trying isn't in question when I get to work. I'm not afraid to fail because failure is just an opportunity to learn. I've been at this now for 5 years and as I continue to learn every day my goals stay consistent. With an excellent team by my side I'm positive we're the "go-to" place for all your needs.

As of January 2026, I am honored to step into the role of Branch Manager for our Caldwell office. I look forward to continuing our commitment to excellence in the community. Whether you are seeking employees or looking for your next career opportunity, I invite you to give us a call or visit us at the Caldwell branch.
