The association’s quarterly Staffing Employment and Sales Survey for the third quarter of 2020 closes soon. Staffing companies that complete the brief survey—including search and placement firms—will have access to an exclusive report on the results, enhanced with graphs.

The report, which participants can download from the ASA website, also includes an executive summary, plus sales category and sector-level data. Participate in the Staffing Employment and Sales Survey by next Friday, Nov. 13, to get the staffing industry information you’re looking for.

Register to take the survey, or view the questionnaire, at americanstaffing.net/quarterly-survey. If you have questions or did not receive a survey link, email research@americanstaffing.net. There are no fees to participate.

The staffing industry is playing a critical role in the delivery of essential services and products to the nation as it continues to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic. Is your company providing temporary and contract workers who perform essential work—to hospitals and other health care facilities; groceries, pharmacies, and other retailers; or other components of the consumer supply chain? If so, ASA wants to hear from you.

Share information about company initiatives to address skills gap challenges to place candidates in essential jobs. Talk about serving as a strategic partner to clients during this difficult time. Explain how your firm has used creative means to recruit candidates. Stories like this are especially useful, as are examples of the difference your firm is making in the communities where your employees work.

Your company could be spotlighted in a national ASA public relations campaign, association website and publications, and beyond. Visit americanstaffing.net for more information and to share your stories.
