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.

Review Summary: Bueno Maestro
Review: 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.

Review Summary: Kindergarten Level Info on the Business
Review: 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.
