Express Personnel Services Seeing Record Growth

Business is booming for Express Personnel Services as the international staffing firm continues to rapidly expand despite the current steadying and slowdown of the economy. A staggering 16 new offices have opened since June of this year. So what does all this mean?

It's a good time to be an Express franchisee, with low unemployment rates and an ever-present, yet increased demand for quality qualified employees. Express has also expanded its professional staffing division to meet a company's professional placement needs and current demand for individuals trained in the latest skills and technology.

"Express's rocketing growth rate is thrilling. To be in such tremendous demand with both clients and job seekers is extraordinary," says Bob Funk, founder of Express. "What's more impressive, this has occurred with low unemployment rates and a highly competitive market."

Offices are locating all over the United States, from Fremont, Calif., to Coral Gables, Fla. to Jersey City. In the Midwest, Lenexa, Kans., Ann Arbor and Detroit, Mich. are home to new franchises. Worldwide expansion includes new offices in Windsor, Ont., and Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

Express' stellar reputation and history of success contributes to the continued growth of the company by generating interest of prospective candidates considering buying a franchise. The relationship between Franchise owners and Express corporate headquarters plays an important role in the growth of Express.

"We offer potential franchisees something that many other franchisors do not," Funk says. "Offering a proven operating system, along with corporate training, supplies and an ongoing support system provides what's necessary to get a franchise in business, and to run and operate profitably."

Oklahoma City-based Express Services' client base extends through six countries and employs more than 250,000 people annually. Company sales are projected to top $962 million this year.

Today, Express operates three divisions including Express Personnel Services, temporary staffing/evaluation and direct hire; Express Professional Staffing and Robert William James & Associates, professional placement and Express Consulting Services, labor relations and management services.
