Industry Trends

Consolidation

Startup costs for a personnel agency are very low. Individual offices can be highly profitable, but consolidation is driven mainly by the opportunity for large agencies to develop national relationships with big customers. Some agencies expand by starting new offices in promising markets, but most prefer to buy existing independent offices with proven staff and an existing customer roster.
