Harnessing people power for profit

Staffing has become the second-fastest-growing industry in the United States, largely by serving a lean business world in which companies are forced to downsize and merge in order to stay competitive. The work still has to be done, but now outsourcing to staffing services, especially for specialized business and technical skills, covers it.

This hands-on guide, from Entrepreneur magazine's highly successful StartUp series, shows the budding entrepreneur how to set up and operate a firm that can supply person power for a narrow or broad range of business needs. Among other topics, Start Your Own Staffing Service covers:

  • Different types of staffing services and the markets they serve
  • Researching the market to find a lucrative niche

  • Determining the best financing, location, and business plan
  • Recruiting and retaining top-quality staffing personnel
  • Attracting and keeping high-value clients

    Whether it serves a huge market, such as office and clerical personnel, or a niche market like engineering or medical specialties, a staffing service can be a real revenue producer for a savvy businessperson who is knowledgeable about matching people's skills with the needs of businesses.

    1It would certainly be nice..  Nov 08, 2008
    It would be nice if the writer who pulled together this inadequate book were to rename it with some degree of honesty. "Staffing" can also include permanent placement or recruiting. There is NOTHING in this book about those. This is solely about clerical and industrial temps.

    Those who wish to read a seriously comprehensive book on recruiting/permanent placement/executive search (but NOT temps)should see the 300+ page hardcover book "Search and Placement! A Handbook for Success" by exceedingly well-qualified industry authorities Larry Nobles and Steven Finkel.

    This book is falsely named. Totally.

    5If your getting in this business, get this book!  Apr 14, 2008
    This is a great book if you are starting a staffing business. I had questions about the business that were troubling me for weeks. In a moment after reading a few chapters I had the answer. I highly recommend this book.

    5Bueno Maestro  Feb 02, 2007
    After reading and reviewing this book I felt relieved. It contained answers to questions I had, but over all its informing and straight to the point with details and advice. I would recomend it for any begging bussiness entrepreneur for a staffing service.

    1Kindergarten Level Info on the Business  Mar 27, 2006
    If you're going to invest a hundred thousand or so to start a staffing service (as stated in the book... but actually, you'd better be ready for lots more) then you're going to need A LOT more information than this kindergarten-level waste of paper provides.

    In fact, you probably already know more about the staffing service than this book offers if you're just THINKING about starting a staffing firm.

    A total waste.
