Flexible Staffing Gives a Boost to Jobs Recovery

(May 26, 2004) MAU, Inc., one of the areas leading human resource and staffing services, pointed to its own industry as a leading contributor to the sudden job surge.

"You might say we are a living example of Alan Greenspan's recent statement," MAU, Inc. President Randy Hatcher said. "Greenspan said that flexible staffing had given people work while allowing businesses to grow out of the recession, thereby hiring more workers."

Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan was further quoted as saying the net effect of using staffing services "...has been to reduce the unemployment rate and create far greater job opportunities for everyone."

MAU, Inc. VP of Operations, Lawrence Davis stated, "We have become far more sophisticated as an industry. MAU performs services and places people in jobs that are far beyond what many think traditional staffing services are doing. A lot of this placement has been driven by our clients in the manufacturing industry."

The ability to remain flexible in hiring allows companies to ramp up and down on shift changes and projects quickly and at less cost. During the recession, when controlling costs was especially critical, services provided by companies like MAU could act as a combination onsultant, partner, recruiter, and manager-on-site of staffing.

"We kept a large number of area workers employed during the recession," Hatcher said. "By being more flexible in their staffing, our clients could be more innovative, remain competitive, and are now hiring."

By designing workforce solutions, MAU strategically enhances the competitive advantage of its clients.
