Kelly Services clocks up 60 years
12 October, 2006
Global staffing provider, Kelly Services, Inc. this year celebrates its 60th anniversary in the recruitment industry.
The 60th anniversary comes at a time of rapid growth for Kelly Services, which is raising its focus on specialty staffing to supplement its generalist permanent and temporary staffing divisions.
Kelly Services’ Senior Director, Operations, and Country Manager for Australia, James Bowmer said, “We are proud not only of our strong history of 60 years in the recruitment industry, but also of our fast expansion both in Australia and all over the world.
“In the past 60 years, Kelly Services has grown from a purely temporary focus to a complete recruitment solution, placing candidates in temporary, contract and permanent positions in a wide range of industries.
“We have been leaders in the development of recruitment processes that have influenced the way the industry services clients and candidates globally.
“In the 17 years that Kelly has been operating in Australia, we have become leaders through a strong belief in providing an individual, personal and professional service to our clients and candidates. “
Kelly Services began in the U.S. in 1946 by William Russell Kelly, who is widely recognised as founder of the modern temporary staffing industry. Since then, Kelly Services has grown into the world’s 5th largest recruitment company.
“Over the years, Kelly has seen recruitment companies come and go, which makes us even more proud to be a stayer in the industry”, he said.
Kelly Services has 20 branches throughout Australia and provides employment to nearly 700,000 employees annually.
Kelly offers temporary contract and permanent staffing solutions in the fields of office, industrial, financial, scientific, engineering, contact centre and information technology.
