Like kids going back to school, adults are going back to work, thanks to Express Employment Professionals.
Express Employment reported that during the first half of 2014, it put 5,370 people to work each week, more than double the average per week results in 2009.
“The company is on track to connect more than 450,000 people to employment by the end of the year,” says Bob Funk, Express Employment Professionals CEO and chairman of the board.
The company took off after being named as the fastest growing major staffing company by Staffing Industry Analysts and has seen a 14% growth in 2014. Express also saw a 25% growth in administrative staffing and 19% growth in professional staffing.
Since the recession ended in 2009, Express Employment has experienced 152% growth surpassing the staffing industry growth of 54%.
“Our vision is to help as many people as possible find good jobs by helping clients find good people, ” Funk said. “There is an extreme sense of purpose and fulfillment when people are able to work and provide for their families. That’s why we’re committed to our company’s long-term goal of putting a million people to work each year.”
In June, the company celebrated the opening of its 700th franchise location, helping entrepreneurs achieve their dream of small business ownership. So far, Express added 41 franchise locations in 2014 and hopes to add a total of 100 new locations by the end of 2014.
