2012 List of Largest U.S. Staffing Firms

Introduction:
We estimate that 100 firms generated at least $100 million in U.S. staffing revenue in 2011. Added together, these 100 firms generated $61.8 billion in U.S. staffing revenue in 2011, which comprised 52.7% of the total market, according to our estimates. The list of 100 firms can be found starting on page three of this report.

We have ranked companies by revenue, according to industry custom, but this ranking should not be taken to imply that a firm with a higher rank provides better service or more value to its shareholders.
Staffing firms varied in degree of financial transparency, and even when forthcoming with information, in some cases data provided was adjusted for the sake of consistency. Therefore, for all firms on this list, the revenue reported is estimated by Staffing Industry Analysts. Overall, we believe that this list is accurate and can be used appropriately to get a big picture reading of the U.S. staffing market. However, as we are constantly improving our methodology, in some cases this years estimates may not be strictly comparable to those of previous years. For that reason, we did not report prior year revenue in this list.

This represents the 17th annual list of largest U.S. staffing firms produced by Staffing Industry Analysts. All of the companies listed were invited to provide their revenue numbers via online survey in April/May 2012. For firms that did not participate in the survey, revenue estimates were based on company reports, company websites and other sources. Our lists are of strong interest to staffing buyers and we hope those listed will benefit from the increased buyer awareness. Firms not on this list that feel they should have been included are encouraged to contact Staffing Industry Analysts, as we will be releasing a followup briefing for any late additions. Many thanks to the staffing firms who offered their encouragement and assistance in this year's list process.

About the 2012 List of Largest U.S. Staffing Firms

Information Provided:
Companies were ranked by their estimated 2011 U.S. staffing revenue. Franchise revenue was accounted for on a gross basis.
The list also provides our estimate of each companys market share of the U.S. staffing industry. Market share is calculated by dividing a companys listed revenue by our 2011 industry estimate of $117.2 billion. Our estimate of the two segments in which a company generated the most revenue are also provided.

How does SIA define staffing?

We include the following components within staffing: 1. temporary staffing a B2B transaction in which a contingent worker is assigned by a staffing firm and the firm is paid based on the amount of time the worker spends on the assignment, 2. place/search a B2B transaction in which a firm is paid to recruit a noncontingent worker, 3. net payroll/compliance revenue, 4. net PEO revenue, and 5. outplacement.
We do include incidental VMS/MSP fee revenue generated by a firm in which its primary business is staffing, but do not count fee revenue from pureplay VMS/MSP providers.

What is not staffing?

Transactions that we do not classify as a B2B arrangement (home health, business to consumer). Any business in which a company/contingent is paid a flat fee to complete a project, and the fee is not based on hours or days worked or number of workers (solutions/SOW). Any outsourcing arrangement in which the company is paid on an hourly basis but the assignment is indefinite.
