Company History
After working for Kelly Services for over
eight years,
Carol Harris felt confident enough in her own ability to consider the
possibility of opening her own staffing service. Armed with her knowledge
of the staffing industry, Carol opened the doors of what was to become one
of the most successful staffing services in the area.
After her
first two years in business, Carol decided that the time was right to
expand. She selected New Kensington as the site for her second office. In
1997, a third office, which is located in Youngwood, PA, was added. Our
Delmont branch was opened in 2002 as the fourth location. Lastly, in 2005,
our Butler branch was opened.
By taking
the time to personally understand each client's specific needs, our
experienced staff is privileged to serve a client base that ranges from
small private firms to Fortune 500 organizations.
Carol Harris Staffing has been a success due to the high standards and
ethics of its owner. Wanting to give "something back to the community" for
all her blessings, Carol and Carol Harris Staffing constantly strive to
earn and maintain our reputation for compassion, quality, and excellence.
