When we first opened, we had to spell out TempStaff for people. Now everybody knows about us. TempStaff professional Lynne Williamson came up with the name ExecuStaff and it seemed a perfect fit, Boteler said. Tracy Hodges takes care of professional placement on the technical management side of the company. Both have been extremely busy since we opened in September, Boteler said.
Many requests are for technical professionals in sales, management and administration.
Because of the low unemployment rate, it s difficult to find enough qualified workers to fill positions, she said. We do a very thorough search using basic methods of advertising, but we also get a lot of help from TempNet, an international association of independent staffing companies that we, as an independent business, elected to be a part of, she said. TempNet is a network of more than 150 offices throughout the U.S. and Canada that allows us to stay abreast of the latest information regarding the staffing industry. The Internet has certainly been a boost to getting the word out about key positions available and attracting qualified technical professionals to the Jackson market.
