It’s ASA Central Week—Celebrate and Collaborate!

This week the staffing industry’s largest and most active professional community celebrates ASA Central Week—marking 13 years since the American Staffing Association launched ASA Central.

What began as an idea for creating a valuable online community of staffing professionals has evolved into a thriving destination for collaboration, problem-solving, idea-sharing, and much more. ASA Central is where strategic connections begin and relationships develop that can help benefit the entire industry and move it forward.

Here’s a look at ASA Central engagement in the past year:

  • 18,964 member logins
  • 854 new discussion threads
  • 2,442 total posts
  • 1,913 contact requests to connect members

The conversations among ASA members reflect the challenges and opportunities facing staffing professionals today. Conversation threads have included “AI in hiring, firing, and promotion—innovation or risk?” and “When do you start working—before or after the staffing agreement is signed?” ASA Central is where staffing professionals comes to think out loud, find answers, and support one another.

This year’s most-searched term was “CE credits,” illustrating the commitment ASA members have to their professional development and growth.

Join in the ASA Central celebration this week! Log in and post a career win you can trace back to the community.
