BURLINGTON, VERMONT, June 30, 2005
Westaff in Burlington, Vermont, has reached $100 million in sales, announced Westaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTF), a leading provider of staffing services.
Responding to each client's specific business challenges and consistently recruiting high quality staffing associates have helped drive the Westaff affiliate's success.
"We've focused on placing the right person in the right job every time through our nationally-recognized, technology-based assessment program, Talent-Trak™," said Dave Mount, co-owner of the Westaff franchise with his wife, Fran Mount. "We can assess some 500 skill sets as well as a candidate's psychological profile such as work ethic, attitude and honesty.
"Another key to our success has been making the effort to really learn about each client's business," Dave Mount added. "We personally visit every client to better understand exactly what they need. Then we focus our assessments to find the kind of employee who can meet those goals. We never compromise on quality."
The Mounts started up the Burlington-based affiliate during the worst of the recession in 1990, with sales of $307,000. Now the franchise, located at 74 Main Street, places more than 800 skilled, temporary workers in office, light industrial and technical positions, helping to fuel the region's economy.
The Burlington office is also headquarters to Westaff, Inc.'s largest franchise with offices in St. Johnsbury, Vermont; Plattsburgh and Albany, New York; and Claremont, Lancaster and Lebanon, New Hampshire.
"At the end of the day, I'm proudest of having helped people — both our clients and our recruits," said co-owner Fran Mount. "We place qualified people in companies where they will do well. That's a good feeling.
"As far as the future's concerned, our goal is to continue to give the best possible service to our customers and staffing employees."
