@WORK Franchise
In the late 1980s, as managing partner for a staffing firm, John Hall, Jr. launched 11 staffing offices. The techniques he used showed him that offices in the rapidly growing staffing industry had the best chance for success if they were independent, very professional and backed by a strong corporate support system. In 1990, Hall and his wife Glenda, assumed sole ownership of the 11 offices and formed @WORK Personnel Services. Today, @WORK has grown to be cited as one of Staffing Industry Report’s Top U.S. Staffing Firms.
