Resources

The staffing industry has gone through many changes since the first agency was founded in 1906. Staffing agencies operate within the business services industry, finding workers for client companies. Unlike recruitment companies, staffing firms primarily deal with temporary and contract positions. Companies depend on staffing employees to help them get through busy seasons, support significant projects, and foster business growth. Staffing agencies provide a company with customized services based on their resources and needs.

U.S. employers expanded payrolls by 850,000 in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Employers in leisure and hospitality continue to lead in hiring, adding 343,000 last month as pandemic restrictions and health concerns continue to decrease.

According to a GWL survey, 71% of Americans currently work remotely at least one day a week. Of those who are working remotely, 77% report that they are more productive when remote. Remote work is working from anywhere other than the office, so your home, a café, or even outside.
