Data sources and observations regarding the largest staffing firms in the U.S.
Data sources
While all revenue estimates in this report are made by Staffing Industry Analysts, it may be helpful to the reader to
understand some additional detail on the information sources and process we used to form our estimates. Roughly three
fourths of the 122 companies reported their 2014 staffing revenue amount to us by one of the following ways: completing
our survey form (a majority of the firms), through public financial reports, or by confirming to us that our revenue estimate
was reasonably accurate. Revenue amounts provided to us (including on survey forms) were checked for consistency with
other sources of information before becoming the basis of our estimates. The remaining one fourth of companies declined
to share their revenue information (often as a matter of policy), however each company received our revenue estimate
that we produced based on publicly available informationin advance of this reports publication and had the opportunity
to provide us with feedback, as an additional check on the reasonableness of our estimate.
Observations
Seventeen firms each generated more than $1 billion in U.S. staffing revenue in 2014. Taken together, these 17 firms
accounted for $45.1 billion, or 36.4% of the market.
64 firms (or roughly half of the firms in this report) generated between $100 million and $200 million in staffing revenue.
Taken together, these 64 firms generated $9.3 billion, or 7.5% of the market.
Regarding the skill segment in which each firm generated the largest portion of their temporary staffing revenue, the
industrial skill segment was the most common among firms on the list (38 firms), followed by IT (35 firms), and engineering
(10 firms). Given their significant market sizes, it is notable that the office/clerical and finance/accounting skill segments
were the largest revenue segment for a relatively small number of firms: 6 firms and 2 firms, respectively. None of the 122
firms had the legal skill segment as their first or second largest revenue segment.
Thirteen firms appear on this years report that did not appear in last years report. The firms are (in alphabetical order):
Aya Healthcare, BHI Energy|Staffing Solutions, Cornerstone Staffing Solutions, Creative Circle, Favorite Healthcare Staffing,
