"It has been a pleasure to work with the staffing cooperative. Their dedication and commitment to our success shows through in all the interaction they have with us. I've worked with many consultants in the past and this is the first group who really took the time to understand our business and what makes us different. They really provide that high level 30,000 foot view of our company and challenge us to step out of our comfort zone to accomplish our goals."

For the Staffing Industry - What’s Different About This Economy?

July 5th, 2009

In this next blog-video, Richard Piske, co-founder of The Staffing Cooperative discusses with his partner Dave Reiss, how this recession is different than previous ones; and the type of market intelligence regional staffing agencies need to be gathering to separate themselves from the rest of the pack in the staffing industry.

This conversation was held before staffing executives and staffing professionals at AST’s 2009 Users Group in Jersey City. AST (http://www.astusa.com) has been providing staffing software solutions to the staffing industry since 1985.

In last week’s blog-video, “What One Staffing Executive Focused on to Grow His Staffing Company Through Every Recession,” Richard said that in order to grow through this recession, staffing companies need to be focusing on market share and capturing more of it.  This week, Richard gave us two more words to focus on - “market intelligence.”
