[edit] Select Family History
Known originally as Select Personnel Services, the first Select office opened in Santa Barbara, California in 1985. In the 1990s, the company began an acquisitive growth strategy, purchasing an average of two competitors a year. Since 2000, The Select Family of Staffing Companies has expanded rapidly by buying or merging with well over 50 top staffing firms nationwide, including Checkmate Staffing; First Site Staffing; Staffing Services and Progressive Personnel Services; National Careers Corporation; PDQCareers.com and CT Engineering; Ablest Inc.; Tandem Staffing Solutions, among others.
The company's largest acquisition to date was of RemedyTemp, Inc. in 2006. From this purchase, Select received multiple new divisions and entered into new niche markets, including Remedy Intelligent Staffing (franchise) and RemX Specialty Staffing (finance and accounting, IT, high-end clerical, and engineering). As a result, The Select Family of Staffing Companies was chosen as the umbrella name for all divisions. As the same time, Select Personnel Services was briefly renamed SelectRemedy (it retains the SelectRemedy name in certain markets), before changing its name to Select Staffing in 2007.
By early 2008, The Select Family continued to grow with the purchase of Resolve Staffing's assets.4 Through this acquisition, the company ventured into new industries to now include support for health care (Select Medical Staffing), trucking (Select Truckers Plus), fashion/design (Project Solvers), and employee leasing (Select Focus) for clients nationwide.

[edit] Select Staffing
Originally called Select Personnel Services, Select acquired RemedyTemp, Inc. in 2006 and was renamed SelectRemedy briefly, before changing its name to Select Staffing in 2007. Since then, Select Staffing has grown through the acquisition of several recruiting agencies that focus on clerical and light-industrial personnel in a wide range of industries.
Workers must go through an extensive applicant screening and skill assessment, with a strong focus on safety and risk management, workforce management and performance reporting, and effective on-site management services training before being hired.
As a result of the 2007 acquisition of Tandem Staffing, Select Staffing formed TradeForce by Select Staffing division, which focuses primarily on construction and day labor positions.
