                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         This Agreement is made and entered onto as of July 1, 1997 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between CORESTAFF, INC., hereinafter referred to as
"CORESTAFF," and ____________ hereinafter referred to as "Employee".

         WITNESSETH:

         Whereas CORESTAFF has employed Employee as an Executive Officer of
CORESTAFF and both parties wish to continue this beneficial relationship and
wish to provide for certain contingencies in their future;

         Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

         1.      OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE OF EMPLOYMENT.  CORESTAFF agrees to and
hereby does employ Employee for the position of _______________________of
CORESTAFF.  Employee agrees to accept such employment and to perform the
services specified herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
stated.

         2.      DUTIES.  Employee agrees to discharge faithfully, diligently
and to the best of his ability during the term hereof the duties normally
incidental to the position of ______________________________, subject to the
direction and control of CORESTAFF'S Board of Directors (the "Board"). Employee
agrees to serve in such other capacity and perform such other executive duties
as the Board may reasonably direct from time to time and which are consistent
with Employees position and status.  Employee agrees that, during the term of
this Agreement, Employee will devote Employee's entire time, skill, energy,
knowledge and best efforts to the business and affairs of CORESTAFF and that
Employee will not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business
interest or activities, whether or not similar to that of CORESTAFF, except
with the written consent of the Board.

         Employee shall be expected to commit whatever time is necessary for
the normal responsibilities of CORESTAFF management.

         3.      COMPENSATION.  During the term of this Agreement, CORESTAFF
agrees to compensate the Employee and Employee agrees to accept the following
amounts and benefits:

                 3.1      Base Compensation.  Employee shall receive a base
cash salary at the rate of $________ per annum through the term of this
Agreement, provided however, that the parties are free to increase this salary
by mutual agreement in a writing executed by each of them.  Such Base
Compensation will be reviewed from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer
of CORESTAFF and the Board's Compensation Committee, and upon recommendation by
the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion
may make appropriate adjustments.  The compensation received by Employee from
time to time pursuant to


<PAGE>   2

this Section 3.1 shall be hereinafter referred to as "Base Compensation."  The
Base Compensation constitutes a gross amount and shall be paid in substantially
equal semi-monthly installments subject to such withholding and deductions as
may from time to time be legally required.

                 3.2      Bonus.  In addition to Base Compensation, Employee
shall be eligible to receive annual bonuses (an "Incentive Bonus").  The
Incentive Bonus shall be composed of two sums.  The first component shall be an
amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of Employee's annual Base
Compensation based upon CORESTAFF meeting earnings per share objectives for
such year as approved by the Board.  The second component shall be an amount
equal to fifteen percent (15%) of Employee's annual Base Compensation based
upon Employee meeting, in the sole good faith discretion of the Chief Executive
Officer of CORESTAFF, certain written objectives established annually by
Employee and CORESTAFF's Chief Executive Officer; provided, however, this
provision is not intended to limit the amount of the Incentive Bonus to fifty
percent (50%) of Employee's annual Base Compensation and the Incentive Bonus
may be increased in any given year at the sole discretion of the Chief
Executive Officer of CORESTAFF  and the Board's Compensation Committee.  The
Incentive Bonus will be made on or before March 15 of the year following the
calendar year during which the bonus criteria was achieved (the "Payout Date"),
provided the Employee was an employee on the payroll of CORESTAFF on December
31st of that year.

                 3.3      Benefits.  Employee shall be entitled to participate
in any plan established by CORESTAFF, excluding the CORESTAFF Inc. Severance
Benefit Plan, to provide benefits to employees at the time Employee meets the
eligibility criteria established for each plan.  In addition, Employee shall be
entitled to a car allowance of $1,000 per month to cover the cost of an
automobile payment, gasoline and automobile maintenance and insurance, and will
be reimbursed for all country club memberships and associations and related
dues and expenses.

                 3.4      Vacation.  CORESTAFF's standard vacation policies
shall apply to Employee, provided however, that Employee shall be entitled to
four (4) weeks of compensated vacation each year, to be taken at times mutually
agreed upon between Employee and the Chief Executive Officer of CORESTAFF.

         4.      TERM AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  Subject to earlier
termination as provided herein, CORESTAFF and Employee agree that this
Agreement shall continue until June 30, 2000, after which time this Agreement
shall automatically renew for one (1) year terms unless notice of non-renewal
is given by either party to the other party at least



                                     -2-
<PAGE>   3

sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the applicable term.  If CORESTAFF
notifies Employee of non-renewal of this Agreement prior to June 30, 2000,
CORESTAFF shall pay Employee, in one lump sum, one (1) year of Base
Compensation in return for Employee executing a termination of employment
agreement which contains a full release of all claims against CORESTAFF.


         CORESTAFF or Employee, as the case may be, shall have the right to
terminate employment under this Agreement at any time for any of the following
reasons:

                 (a)      Termination Upon Death or Total Disability.  In the
event of Employee's death during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement
will terminate upon the first day of the month following Employee's date of
death.  CORESTAFF may terminate this Agreement by reason of "Total Disability"
upon at least thirty (30) days' notice to Employee.  As used herein, "Total
Disability" means illness or other physical or mental disability of Employee
which shall continue for a period of at least six (6) months in the aggregate
during any twelve (12) month period during the term of this Agreement, which
such illness or disability shall make it impossible or impracticable for
Employee to perform any of Employee's duties and responsibilities hereunder
with whatever reasonable accommodation may be required by applicable law.  If a
disagreement arises between Employee and CORESTAFF as to whether Employee is
suffering from "Total Disability," as defined herein, the question of
Employee's disability shall be determined by a physician designated by a
majority of the Board.  In the event of Employee's death or Total Disability,
CORESTAFF shall pay Employee's heirs, in one lump sum, one (1) year of Base
Compensation in return for Employee's heirs executing a full release of all
claims against CORESTAFF and CORESTAFF shall automatically vest all outstanding
Awards (as defined in the CORESTAFF 1995 Long-Term Incentive Plan) granted more
than six (6) months prior to the date of Employee's death or Total Disability.

                 (b)      Termination For Cause.  Prior to the end of the term
of this Agreement, CORESTAFF, upon 10 days prior written notice to Employee,
may discharge Employee for Cause and terminate this Agreement without any
further liability hereunder to Employee or his estate, other than the
obligation to pay to Employee his base salary accrued to the date of
termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, a discharge for "Cause" shall
mean a discharge resulting from a determination by the Board that Employee:

                          (i)     has failed to diligently perform the material
         duties assigned to Employee under this Agreement or to have abandoned
         Employee's assigned job duties and not to have remedied the situation
         within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice
         from CORESTAFF specifying the failure;

                          (ii)    has failed to abide by CORESTAFF's policies,
         rules, procedures or directives and not to have remedied the situation
         within a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice
         specifying the failure;



                                     -3-
<PAGE>   4
                          (iii)   has acted in a grossly negligent manner, or
         has engaged in reckless or willful misconduct with respect to
         CORESTAFF which results or could have resulted in material harm to
         CORESTAFF's standing among customers, suppliers, employees and other
         business relationships;

                          (iv)    has been found guilty by a court of law of
         fraud, dishonesty and/or a felony crime, or any other crime involving
         moral turpitude;

                          (v)     has engaged in employee misconduct, including
         but not limited to, breach of fiduciary duty, theft, fraud,
         dishonesty, embezzlement, violation of securities laws, violation of
         employment-related laws (including but not limited to laws prohibiting
         discrimination in employment), violation of non- competition,
         non-solicitation or confidentiality agreements or this Agreement,
         falsification of employment applications or other business records,
         insubordination, habitual absenteeism or tardiness, or unethical
         activity.

In making any determination described above, the Board must act in good faith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall in no event be deemed to have
been discharged for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
Employee a termination notice in the form of a copy of a resolution duly
adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire
membership of the Board (excluding Employee, if applicable).

                 (c)      Termination Without Cause and Constructive
Termination.  Prior to the end of the term of this Agreement, CORESTAFF, upon
written notice to Employee, may discharge Employee without Cause and terminate
this Agreement, such termination to be effective upon the date as specified in
said notice.  In the event CORESTAFF terminates Employee without Cause or
Employee is Constructively Terminated, CORESTAFF shall pay Employee, in one
lump sum, two (2) years of Base Compensation in return for Employee executing a
termination of employment agreement which contains a full release of all claims
against CORESTAFF. For purposes of this Agreement, "Constructively Terminated"
or "Constructive Termination" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following
events without Employee's express written consent:

                          (i)     A substantial and adverse change in the
         Employee's duties, control, authority, status or position with
         CORESTAFF, or the assignment to the Employee of any duties or
         responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with such status or
         position, or a material reduction in the duties and responsibilities
         previously exercised by the Employee, or a loss of title, loss of
         office, relocation, loss of significant authority, power or control,
         or any removal of him from or any failure to reappoint or reelect him
         to such positions, except in connection with the termination of his
         employment for Cause or Total Disability, or as a result of Employee's
         death;

                          (ii)    Any reduction by CORESTAFF in Employee's Base




                                     -4-
<PAGE>   5



         Compensation unless such reduction shall also apply to similarly
         situated executives of CORESTAFF and does not exceed ten percent (10%)
         per year (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Employee);

                          (iii)   Any material breach by CORESTAFF of any
         provision of this Agreement;

                          (iv)    A material increase in the amount of travel
         required by CORESTAFF of Employee to perform Employee's duties; or

                          (v)     A required relocation by CORESTAFF of
         Employee outside Houston, TX.

                 (d)      Resignation.  Should Employee, at any time during the
term of this Agreement, desire to resign his employment for reasons other than
a Triggering Event, Employee shall submit notice of his proposed resignation to
the Board at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the intended
effective date thereof.  This notice period may be waived by the Board in its
sole discretion. CORESTAFF will have no further obligation if Employee resigns
other than to pay Employee for compensation already earned including any
obligation under any applicable benefit plan.  Employee understands that
Employee will still be subject to the Sections 6, 8, 9 and 10 of this
Agreement.

                 (e)      Change of Control.       Should Employee, at any time
during the term of this Agreement, leave CORESTAFF's employment as a result of
a Triggering Event, as defined below, then CORESTAFF shall (i) pay Employee, in
one lump sum, two (2) years of Base Compensation and an amount equal to the
highest Incentive Bonus paid to Employee during the two (2) year period
immediately preceding the Triggering Event and (ii) automatically vest all
outstanding Awards granted more than six (6) months prior to the date of the
Triggering Event, in return for Employee executing a termination of employment
agreement which contains a full release of all claims against CORESTAFF.

         For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall occur
if (i) CORESTAFF shall not be the surviving entity in any merger or
consolidation (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than a
previously wholly-owned subsidiary of CORESTAFF), (ii) CORESTAFF sells, leases
or exchanges or agrees to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of
its assets to any other persons or entities (other than wholly-owned
subsidiaries of CORESTAFF), (iii) the stockholders of CORESTAFF adopt a plan of
dissolution  or liquidation, (iv) any person, entity, or "group" as
contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 30% of the outstanding
shares of voting capital stock of CORESTAFF, or (v) as a result of or in
connection with any cash tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, share
exchange or other business combination, sale of assets or a contested election
for the board of directors, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a
"Transaction"), (x) the persons who were directors of


                                     -5-
<PAGE>   6

CORESTAFF before such Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the
Board, or (y) less than 70% of the outstanding voting securities of the
surviving person or entity is owned or controlled by the stockholders of
CORESTAFF immediately prior to the Transaction, excluding any stockholders the
are an interested party to the Transaction (the "former Stockholders").

                 "Triggering Event" shall mean a Change of Control; provided,
however, (i) in the event a Change of Control is effected by a person or entity
which, immediately prior to the Change of Control, did not have revenues equal
to or in excess of 10% of CORESTAFF's gross revenues derived from any line of
business which CORESTAFF was engaged in at the time of the Change of Control,
then a "Triggering Event" shall mean a Change of Control and the occurrence of
Constructive Termination or termination of Employee's employment by CORESTAFF
other than for Cause or Total Disability, or as a result of Employee's death
within two (2) years after such Change of Control without Employee's express
written consent and (ii) in the event of a Change of Control of the type
described in clause (v)(y) above in which the Former Stockholders own or
control 60% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving
person or entity after consummation of the Transaction, then a "Triggering
Event" shall mean a Change of Control and the material reduction of Michael T.
Willis' day to day duties or responsibilities prior to the Transaction from
those duties and responsibilities previously exercised at CORESTAFF or the
replacement of Mr. Willis as Chief Executive Officer of the surviving person or
entity.

         5.      NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under
this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing, and if sent, postage prepaid,
by certified or registered mail, return-receipt requested (a) to Employee at
__________, Houston, TX 77___ and (b) to CORESTAFF at 4400 Post Oak Parkway,
Suite 1130, Houston, Texas 77027-3413, Attention: General Counsel, or (c) to
other such address as either party shall designate by written notice to the
other party.

         6.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  Employee acknowledges that in the
course of his employment by CORESTAFF he will receive certain confidential
information and knowledge concerning the operations of CORESTAFF which
CORESTAFF desires to protect and in the future, Employee will have greater
access to such information and CORESTAFF will provide additional confidential
information to Employee.  This confidential information shall include, but not
be limited to:

                 (i)      terms and conditions of and the identity of the
                          parties to CORESTAFF's agreements with its clients

                          management information, strategies and plans and
                          internal practices and procedures, including but not
                          limited to internal financial records, statements and
                          information, cost reports or other financial
                          information;

                 (v)      proprietary software, systems and technology-related

                 (vi)     salary, bonus and other personnel information
                          relating to CORESTAFF personnel;

                 (vii)    CORESTAFF's business and management development
                          plans, including but not limited to proposed or
                          actual plans regarding acquisitions (including the
                          identity of any acquisition contacts), divestitures,
                          asset sales, and mergers;

                 (viii)   decisions and deliberations of CORESTAFF's committees
                          or boards; and

                 (ix)     litigation, disputes, or investigations to which
                          CORESTAFF may be a party and legal advice provided to
                          Employee on behalf of CORESTAFF in the course of
                          Employee's employment.

Employee understands that such information is confidential, and he agrees not
to reveal such information to anyone outside CORESTAFF so long as the
confidential or secret nature of such information shall continue.  Employee
further agrees that he will at no time use such information in competing with
CORESTAFF.  At such time as Employee shall cease to be employed by CORESTAFF,
he will surrender to CORESTAFF all papers, documents, writings and other
property produced by him or coming into his possession by or through his
employment and relating to the information referred to in this paragraph, and
Employee agrees that all such materials will at all times remain the property
of CORESTAFF.

duties to CORESTAFF, Employee agrees that he shall not, acting alone or in
conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, become involved in a conflict
of interest, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue.
Moreover, Employee agrees that he shall disclose to the Board any facts which
might involve any reasonable possibility of a conflict of interest.

         It is agreed that a direct or indirect interest in, connection with,
or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities,
which interest might in any way adversely affect CORESTAFF involves a possible
conflict of interest.  Circumstances in which a conflict of interest on the
part of Employee would or might arise, and which should be reported immediately
by Employee to the Board, include, but are not limited to the following:


                                     -7-
<PAGE>   8

                 (i)      Ownership of a material interest in any supplier,
                          contractor, subcontractor, or other entity with which
                          CORESTAFF does business;

                 (ii)     Acting in any capacity including director, officer,
                          partner, consultant, employee, distributor, agent or
                          the like, for suppliers, contractors, subcontractors,
                          or other entities with which the CORESTAFF does
                          business;

                 (iii)    Acceptance, directly or indirectly, of payments,
                          services or loans from a supplier, contractor,
                          subcontractor, or other entity with which the entity
                          does business, including but not limited to, gifts,
                          trips, entertainment, or other favors, of more than a
                          nominal interest;

                 (iv)     Misuse of information or facilities of CORESTAFF to
                          which Employee has access in a manner which will be
                          detrimental to CORESTAFF's interest, such as,
                          utilization for Employee's own benefit of know-how or
                          information developed through CORESTAFF's business or
                          research activities;

                 (v)      Disclosure or other misuse of information of any kind
                          obtained through Employee's connection with
                          CORESTAFF;

                 (vi)     Acquiring or trading in, directly or indirectly,
                          other properties or interests connected with the
                          services provided by CORESTAFF;

                 (vii)    The appropriation by Employee or diversion to others,
                          directly or indirectly, of any business opportunity
                          in which it is known or could reasonably be
                          anticipated that CORESTAFF would be interested; and

                 (viii)   The ownership, directly or indirectly, of a material
                          interest in an enterprise in competition with
                          CORESTAFF or acting as a director, officer, partner,
                          consultant, employee or agent of any enterprise which
                          is in competition with CORESTAFF.

         8.      NON-COMPETITION.  In return for the additional consideration
stated in this Agreement, including the promise of CORESTAFF to provide
Employee with additional confidential information, Employee agrees that, during
Employee's employment and for two (2) years after the termination of employment
(the "Non-Compete Period"), Employee shall not directly or indirectly possess
an ownership interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render
services for any other person, firm, association or corporation, engaged in
CORESTAFF's business, without the prior written consent of CORESTAFF, within
the United States because such activity would unavoidably and unfairly
compromise CORESTAFF's legitimate protectible business interests in its
confidential information, clients, employees, suppliers, and business
relationships.  Employee agrees that Employee shall not, either directly or
indirectly, during the Non- Compete Period, in any capacity whatsoever (either
as an employee, officer, director, stockholder, proprietor, partner, joint
venturer, consultant or otherwise) (a) solicit, contact, call upon, communicate
with, or attempt to communicate with any CORESTAFF client or potential client

ignore any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  His decision shall
not go beyond what is necessary for the interpretation and application of this
