DALLAS, April 12, 2012 – As the economy continues to recover from recession, employers are increasingly looking to hire more staff to meet growing demand for their products and services. To better position itself to address the hiring needs of its clients and the growth of its franchises, staffing services and job placement firm Snelling has reorganized its leadership team: Bill Hamrick has been named senior vice president of operations, Michael Zimmerman is now vice president of franchise sales and DeDe Parker-Todd has been promoted to vice president of operations performance.

“As the economy heals and companies, big and small, are getting busier, we want Snelling to be a trusted resource in helping them hire the right people for the right positions, whether that be temporary, contract or direct-hire,” said David Allen, president and CEO of Dallas-based Snelling.

According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for temporary workers has grown 37 percent since the end of the recession. In February alone, employers added 45,000 temporary workers to their payrolls, making up nearly 20 percent of all non-farm sector jobs added for the month.

In addition to the greater focus on operations and efficiencies within the Snelling organization that Hamrick and Parker-Todd will spearhead, the firm also anticipates increased interest and need for franchises across the country. Zimmerman will lead Snelling’s growth into new markets, as well as identifying opportunities for expansion within existing markets.

Hamrick and Parker-Todd are based out of Snelling’s Dallas headquarters. Zimmerman is based in Boston.

In 2011, Snelling ranked on the list of the fifty largest U.S. staffing firms, as reported by Staffing Industry Analysts, a global advisor on contingent work. With 116 offices nationwide, Snelling generated $230 million in annual revenue in 2010. According to Staffing Industry Analysts, the staffing services industry generated $103.1 billion in revenue in 2010. (2011 financials not yet available.)
