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.

The ASA Staffing Employment and Sales Survey for 1Q 2026 is open now through May 27. Every quarter, staffing leaders contribute their company’s data to this survey and in return they receive the most comprehensive benchmarking report in the industry—at no charge and there are no fees to participate.

Participation enables you to receive the latest data on temporary and contract staffing sales, payroll, and employment so you can make more informed decisions. Answer nine questions to receive immediate access to the full report the moment it’s published, as well as the archive of prior reports.

What participating companies receive

• Sales and gross margin benchmarks by sector and company size
• Staffing employment benchmarks and productivity data
• Turnover rates, tenure figures, and direct hire data
• Anticipated revenue growth
