On January 5, 2015, Select announced its plans to merge with Atlanta-based EmployBridge to form the largest industrial staffing organization in the United States.[3] The merger was completed on February 9, 2015.

The company's major divisions include Select Staffing, Remedy Intelligent Staffing, RemX Financial Staffing, RemX IT Staffing, RemX OfficeStaff, RemX Medical Staffing, RemX Search & Placement, RemX Engineering, RemX Scientific, Select Truckers Plus, Westaff, and Select Medical Staffing.[4] The company completed a pre-packaged Chapter 11 refinancing in May 2014.[5]

With annual revenue at $2.1 billion for 2014, each week the company employs nearly 110,000 job seekers in assignments with 7,500+ client companies in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, industrial, clerical, |administrative, accounting, finance, information technology, life sciences, construction, trucking, health care, engineering, and professional services.

Select Family History

Known originally as Select Temporaries, the company opened its first office 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, It has bought or merged with over 80 top staffing firms nationwide, including Checkmate Staffing, First Site Staffing, Staffing Services and Progressive Personnel Services,[6] National Careers Corporation, PDQCareers.com and CT Engineering, Ablest Inc.,[7] Tandem Staffing Solutions,[8] and Westaff,[9] among others.

The company's largest acquisition to date was of RemedyTemp, Inc. in 2006.[10] From this purchase, it 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, scientific, fashion/design, 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 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 group continued to grow with the purchase of Resolve Staffing's assets.[11] Through this acquisition, the company ventured into new industries to now include support for health care (Select Medical Staffing) and trucking (Select Truckers Plus).

Divisions

Select Staffing

Originally called Select Temporaries, Select acquired RemedyTemp, Inc. in 2006 and was renamed SelectRemedy briefly, before changing its name to Select Staffing in 2007.[12] 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. It still goes by the name SelectRemedy in the state of Illinois.

Prospective workers must go through a five-step screening process that includes integrity screening, formal application, behavioral interview, reference checks, employment eligibility verification, drug tests, and background checks. Applicants must also undergo skill assessments focused on their area of interest, as well as safety procedures.

Select Staffing has offices nationwide.

Select Truckers Plus

Born out of the company's buyout of Resolve Staffing in early 2008, Select Truckers Plus, as it was renamed, specializes in driver leasing. Truckers Plus drivers must pass 11 Department of Transportation requirements and maintain current and valid driver qualifications.[13]

Select Medical Staffing

Select Medical Staffing, formerly Resolve Staffing's Health Care Division, focuses primarily on travel and per diem nursing, as well as physician and allied health personnel placement.

Remedy Intelligent Staffing

Remedy Intelligent Staffing is one of the company's nationwide franchise networks,[14] and has more than four decades of recruiting experience. Remedy uses what it calls the “Intelligent Fit” process that was formulated to include a client needs assessment, a skills and behavioral evaluation of the candidate, and finally, performance management to match job candidates with positions.

Westaff

Westaff is the other one of the company's franchise networks.[15] It was acquired in March 2009 when Select's parent company acquired the 61-year-old California-based staffing firm.
