After completing the survey, you will be able to access an exclusive online report archive, which includes benchmarks for the number of direct hire searches and permanent placements, sector-specific gross margin trends, and payroll and productivity metrics by company size. There are no fees to participate. Register to take the survey at americanstaffing.net/quarterly-survey.
