ASA Quarterly Survey Closes Friday—See How Your Firm Compares

Want to see exactly where you’re outperforming the market—and where you have room to gain—based on verified staffing industry benchmarks? The deadline to participate in the association’s quarterly Staffing Employment and Sales Survey for the fourth quarter of 2025 is this Friday, Feb. 27.

When you complete the survey you’ll get exclusive access to an online benchmark report archive, so you can

  • Compare your performance to similar-sized firms and sector peers
  • Validate whether your growth and margins are tracking above, at, or below market
  • Spot trends early—before they show up in your own numbers—and adjust your pricing, recruiting, and sales strategy with confidence
  • Use credible, aggregated data to support internal planning and leadership conversations

In a tightening labor market, guessing is risky. Benchmarking against verified industry data helps you make faster, smarter decisions. The ASA Staffing Employment and Sales Survey is one of the staffing industry’s primary benchmarking tools—covering direct hire and permanent placement activity, sector-specific gross margin trends, sales growth by sector, and productivity metrics by company size. There are no fees to participate. All responses are confidential and aggregated. Register to take the survey at americanstaffing.net/quarterly-survey.
