In a world of franchises, conglomerates and multi-national corporations, it's comforting to know that there remain successful businesses that are truly local. Proudly describing themselves as Oregonians, the founders of Staffing Solutions use their local knowledge and experience to provide their clients with top-notch legal, business services and I.T. talent. Their mantra, "relationships are everything." serves them well in a business that is all about connecting the right person with the right company.
Founded in 1996, by Carol Martin Sommers and Zeta Rennie, Staffing Solutions is a one-stop resource for temporary and full-time staffing in the legal, business services, and I.T. fields. Their core competency is the legal industry, but they direct considerable resources to recruiting for clients in a wide range of industries, from insurance to mass media to information technology. Staffing Solutions' success is driven by 125 collective years' experience in the industry, deep roots in Portland, and resourcefulness. More than 20 years making connections in Portland give Carol Martin Sommers and Zeta Rennie that intangible insight to make matches that work for clients and employees alike. At the ten year mark, they are one of the most respected and best-known staffing leaders in the Northwest, with eight full-time staff and hundreds of temporary/contract employees placed at client sites throughout the greater Portland/Metro area.
There is nothing more vital than good communication in Staffing Solutions' business. Good communication requires an equally good technology service provider. In 1998, Staffing Solutions turned to Integra for integrated telephone and high-speed internet service. "As with everything in life, technology isn't perfect," says Staffing Solutions' Nicholas Martin, "the important thing is that Integra staff, across the board, is always proactive and responsive to our requests and service needs. They recognize, analyze, and resolve any issue quickly and professionally to our complete satisfaction. It's very much a good working relationship, which is how we like to do business with our own clients."
