King of the Workforce
The man who places 30,000 technology professionals annually into America's most consequential companies. As Non-Executive Chairman of Kforce Inc (NASDAQ: KFCE), David Dunkel built a workforce empire—and now asks the question that matters most: how does faith prepare workers for an age when AI rewrites every job description?
Kforce Inc is a publicly traded professional staffing firm (NASDAQ: KFCE) with significant scale and approximately 6,000 employees. Under David's leadership, Kforce became one of the largest technology staffing firms in America—placing over 30,000 professionals annually into roles that shape how companies build, ship, and scale technology. This isn't a niche operation. It's workforce infrastructure at national scale.
David Dunkel now occupies the Non-Executive Chairman role—a position of oversight and strategy rather than daily operations. From this vantage point, he's asking the question that his decades of workforce experience uniquely qualify him to answer: how does faith prepare workers for artificial intelligence? When AI can write code, analyze data, and automate decisions, what remains distinctly human? And how does a theology of work inform the answer?
David's theology of work begins with calling. Every professional Kforce places is not just filling a role—they're fulfilling a vocation. This reframes staffing from commodity transaction to sacred matching of gifts to needs.
A workforce theology that honors every position—from entry-level to executive—as bearing inherent dignity. Workers are not resources to be extracted but image-bearers to be stewarded.
David's faith-informed perspective on AI: technology amplifies human capacity rather than replacing human purpose. The distinctly human—creativity, wisdom, relationship—becomes more valuable, not less.
While others panic about AI displacement, David asks: how do we prepare? His decades of workforce placement give him unmatched insight into which skills endure, which roles transform, and which workers thrive through disruption.
"I've placed 30,000 technology professionals a year for decades. Now AI is rewriting every role. The question isn't whether work will change—it's whether we prepare workers with wisdom or abandon them to fear."
"The staffing industry sees every job as interchangeable. Faith sees every worker as irreplaceable. That distinction changes everything about how you build a workforce company."
"A publicly traded company can operate by Kingdom principles without sacrificing performance. In fact, the principles produce the performance."
David Dunkel has spent decades understanding how humans and technology interact in the workplace. Now, as AI threatens to redefine the very nature of technology work, his experience becomes prophetically relevant. He's seen every prior wave of technological disruption through the lens of workforce impact. He knows which skills survive, which workers adapt, and which organizations thrive through transformation. This time, the disruption is deeper—and his faith-informed wisdom is more needed than ever.
Kforce doesn't just place workers—it provides the workforce infrastructure that allows America's largest companies to scale their technology teams rapidly and responsibly.
Thirty thousand professionals placed annually means hundreds of thousands of career trajectories shaped over decades. Each placement represents a family supported, a calling activated, a life given purpose through work.
Operating a NASDAQ-listed company with faith-driven values creates visible proof that Kingdom principles produce market-rate results. Kforce's public performance is itself a testimony.
David Dunkel has more experience at the intersection of technology, workforce, and faith than perhaps anyone in the country. His significant platform has placed hundreds of thousands of technology professionals. Now, as AI rewrites the rules of work, his wisdom becomes essential—not just for Kforce but for the entire faith-driven business community asking how to prepare their people for an unprecedented transition. Genesis can serve David by connecting his workforce intelligence with the broader faith-driven technology ecosystem.
