Columbus Employment Firm Announces Acquisition

Press Release

August 11, 2009 (COLUMBUS, IN) — Elwood Staffing Services, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has acquired the assets of Time Services, Inc. Elwood Staffing is making a significant investment in northeast Indiana and south central Michigan in order to: 1) better serve businesses and their labor needs; and 2) help well-qualified people find excellent jobs. This investment will result in a much stronger set of business solution capabilities, a broader geographic footprint, and a deeper talent bench across all areas of Human Resources.

Elwood Staffing operates 40 branch offices in eight states-- Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada--and employs roughly 150 corporate staff. Each year, Elwood Staffing places more than 40,000 associates in light manufacturing, third party logistics, call center, office/clerical, professional and engineering positions. Additionally, the company has a very good direct placement capability with a particularly strong technology focus/expertise.

According to Mark Elwood, CEO, “This acquisition makes excellent business sense because both companies have shared a commitment to providing superior customer service (to both temporary associates and client companies) and a strong belief that continuous improvement is necessary to grow and prosper.”

Elwood also states that Elwood Staffing will continue its tradition of a business partnering mentality, with a strong commitment to safety and experience with high volume, service-intensive clients.

And most importantly, Elwood Staffing has a team of dedicated, highly skilled employees who work hard to meet the hiring and staffing needs of customers. Elwood Staffing will operate with many of the same employees at many of the former Time Services’ locations.
