With more than 20 years of experience under her belt, Tiffany credits her team of dynamic professionals and loyal clients with Dynamic’s continued success. Thrilled to have fallen into the staffing industry on a whim, Tiffany’s early careers in sales and management at Nordstrom and on the client side of the business taught her the value of unrivaled customer service, accountability, and initiative.
Founded in 1997, Dynamic grew from an enviable reputation and a small team dedicated to providing staffing solutions throughout California. Dynamic is headquartered in Danville, California with satellite offices in Oakland, Pleasanton, Orange County, Fremont, and Sacramento. The company also recently expanded in response to client demand with offices in the Central Valley!
Offering a unique blend of creative sales and operational strengths, Tiffany has achieved impressive results in both up and down economies. In fact, as the nation’s financial crisis began to impact all industries in the late-2000s, Tiffany witnessed many of her competitors closing shop, and she too had to make tough decisions. After cutting her own salary and closing some offices to weather the storm, Tiffany relied upon her self-made strengths and a core team of dedicated professionals to pull herself up by her bootstraps and lead her company to success even in the toughest of times.
A testament to Dynamic’s staying power and Tiffany’s business prowess, Tiffany was named a Finalist in two categories in the 2011 Stevie Awards for Women in Business. Earning recognition in the category of Best Entrepreneur, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award, she is humbled by this international distinction. Continuing Dynamic’s reputation for success, Tiffany is also a proud recipient of the Woman’s Initiative for Self-Employment 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
A proponent of social investing, Tiffany’s personal and professional history of community service is highlighted by volunteer efforts as a Junior Achievement Board Member, a Summit Bank Foundation Executive Board Member, and a March of Dimes Committee Member. Tiffany has also volunteered with Welfare to Work, Youth Employment Services, Wardrobe for Opportunity, Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation and STAND! For Families Free of Violence. Tiffany is also the newest board member for Women’s Initiative for Self Employment, where she mentors woman business owners, helping them to achieve success in the Bay Area marketplace.
Tiffany resides in Danville and is a proud mother of two.

‘Sir’ Al Rehman
Executive Recruiter/English Geezer
Email: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Arbitrary Facts:
- Holds a 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do
- Has lived in England most of his life, but was born in Tanzania, Africa
- Lifelong and fanatical supporter of Liverpool Football Club
- Favorite quote: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” –Bruce Lee
A seasoned professional, Al Rehman’s career spans more than two continents and a variety of industries, including bouts in scientific research, battery development testing, test-driving, and finally staffing.
Al’s early career was in an environment focusing on research, development and testing. This helped hone his analytical skills, but didn’t fulfill his need for human interaction or take advantage of his natural sales ability. Feeling that it was time for a change, Al moved to the big city of London in 2003, and fell into his first role as a Temporaries Consultant where he ran a blended desk of sales and recruiting for a national staffing organization.
Years later, Al had left inclement weather of London and moved to sunny California. Looking to get back into staffing, Al soon crossed paths Dynamic President, Tiffany Stuart, and the rest, as they say, is history.
