Otniel Morilla is a Maryland-based entrepreneur with a lifelong commitment to community empowerment through job creation. Originally from New Jersey, he relocated to Maryland in 2002 with a clear mission: to build a career that uplifts underserved communities by providing meaningful employment opportunities.

Educated at Piscataway High School, Middlesex County College, and NJIT, Otniel's entrepreneurial spirit was shaped early on through 40 years of hands-on experience in his family's salon business—a legacy passed down from his immigrant parents. His transition into the staffing industry marked a pivotal moment, allowing him to channel his passion for service into scalable impact.

In 2003, he co-founded Next Day Staffing in Baltimore City, which grew into a $35 million enterprise within five years. He later launched Select Services in 2008, sold it profitably in 2009, and helped establish Community Staffing while simultaneously founding Employee Transport—a transportation service tailored to workforce mobility.

By 2016, Otniel ventured out independently to create Unique Staffing Professionals, continuing to operate Employee Transport. His companies have collectively generated over $10 million in revenue and have become pillars in Baltimore City and Prince George’s County.

Otniel’s expertise spans a wide range of industries, including:

High-volume production and shipping warehouses
Commercial and post-construction cleaning
Office and facility maintenance
Demolition and parking lot services

He has consistently demonstrated the ability to recruit and manage large-scale workforces, often coordinating transportation logistics to ensure accessibility. Among his most notable achievements:

Managing a fleet of 15 vans operating daily across Maryland and D.C.
Recruiting 1,200 workers for snow removal at the Ravens stadium during a historic 2009 snowfall, plus 400 more for the Redskins that same weekend
Receiving honors from Chimes for his team’s dedication and execution during NFL opening day

Over the years, Otniel has maintained daily staffing levels ranging from 50 to 600 workers, proving his unwavering commitment to operational excellence and community impact.
