HR Trends in Staffing

My name is Lisa Minter and this is my blog. I started in the Indianapolis Staffing Industry in 1991. When I tell people the year, I can practically hear their thougths: "WOW! I was only 3 years old then" or "they had Staffing companies WAY back then"? It takes a certain sense of patience, a really good sense of humor and a touch of craziness to love this industry! I will admit that when I first started, we did not have computers and hit the big time when we got a fax machine (remember the ones with the thermal paper where the print would rub off?)!

It is amazing to me how much not only technology has changed but also the Staffing Industry has evolved over the years. It used to be "temporary" employees would come in, register and be sent out on administrative jobs in Indianapolis to cover for short-term coverage at client sites. Client companies just wanted a "body" to cover the gap.

The Staffing Industry has progressed into a partnership between our employees, our clients and us. It is exciting how we now serve as a Human Resource “resource” to our clients and employees in not only providing staff for short-term positions but also for long-term and high-level Indianapolis job openings.
