Building a better staffing company
Apex Systems, Inc. was founded in 1995 by Brian Callaghan, Win Sheridan and Jeff Veatch, three friends who met at Virginia Tech. They were inspired to start Apex for three main reasons – to treat job seekers better, to provide a better service for companies, and to build a company where the best recruiters and sales staff would want to work.
The Founders felt too many recruiters weren’t treating job seekers the right way. They failed to return calls. They didn’t give closure. They misrepresented the job. Some even came across as sleazy. It was a frustrating perception of the staffing industry, so they set out to change it.
Believing that relationships and trust should be the foundation of the Apex service model, the Founders pledged to only hire the most motivated, friendly, and capable staff. People committed to excellence in all they do and go above and beyond to meet the needs of others.
The Founders established strong core values of doing the right thing, making others better, finding a better way to get the job done and setting the professional standard. These are the guiding principles that Apex employees use to provide the highest level of service to customers and contract employees.
Apex has grown to be a $791 million dollar company with a nationwide presence in 53 markets, 1,250 clients and over 1,000 employees. The company is now embarking on the next phase of growth by joining On Assignment, a leading publicly-traded professional staffing firm specializing in the growing information technology, life sciences, and healthcare sectors. The combined company is the third largest IT staffing firm in the U.S.
Award winning service
When comparing staffing firms, it is easy to see how Apex’s exceptional employees and focus on great service differentiate the company from others in the industry. Apex has received recognition for excellent customer service from contract employees and clients. In addition, they were included on the 2013 Best of Staffing Client list, the nation’s only award that recognizes staffing firms that receive remarkable reviews from their clients.
When selecting a partner for IT staffing, clients and contract employees consider many factors, including:
- What is the reputation of the staffing company – are they considered trustworthy, honest and fair?
- How are clients and contract employees treated?
- What is the staffing company’s responsiveness for both clients needing IT support and contract employees seeking a placement?
- Where does the staffing company have a presence or can they expand to meet client needs?
As an industry leader, Apex helps answer these questions – going above and beyond to provide the support needed to ensure successful project implementation, process and completion.
