10/22/2007

ATLANTA, GA, Oct 22, 2007 - JEZ Staffing Group, an Atlanta-based temporary staffing agency specializing in engineering and technical staffing has announced the opening of its office on Town Park Drive in Atlanta

Owned and operated by Michael Kilgore, an East Tennessee native who has worked in the field of temporary staffing since 1994, JEZ Staffing Group will specialize in providing skilled workers for local firms in need of temporary or permanent help

"In today's market the majority of staffing firms only care about bottom line margin and nothing else," said Kilgore They see their internal sales/recruiter force as an expendable resource they use to build their own business and then perform an expense swap when they are making too much money or the client has become an established vendor This churn and burn mentally of many staffing agencies seriously hinders client and temporary employee customer service My goal is to fill a void in the local staffing industry by focusing more on the needs of clients and contract employees, which has become lost in this business I believe in old school recruiting-you build a network of talented people with industry experience and you connect them with great companies in need of temporary help"

A 1989 graduate of East Tennessee State University with a degree in engineering technology, Kilgore worked at IDI Staffing in Nashville, PDS Technical Services, and Johnson Service Group in Atlanta before opening JEZ Staffing

"By using my expertise and years of experience, staying focused on superb local service and understanding client and employee needs, I know I can make a difference in this industry," said Kilgore

Kilgore is married with three children, Jace, Elle and Zeke, who inspired the name JEZ Staffing He is also a member of SHRM Atlanta, IEE, and TechLINKS

Microtech Staffing Group of Quincy, Massachusetts, under which JEZ does business, has annual revenues of approximately $40 million, making it the second-largest privately owned staffing group in New England Nationally, the staffing industry does more than $70 billion in annual sales, employing an estimated 12 million temporary and contract employees annually It remains one of the fastest growing businesses of the American economy
