January 21st, 2008 -- HireSpeed honors Martin Luther King, Jr. today.  This day is a special day for us, not just because of his work to achieve racial equality, but more so because his work made it easier for people to accept that an idea "outside of the box" could, in fact, be legitimate.  As America embraced this new notion that white and black could be seen as equals, it opened their eyes to other possibilities, and really progressed us a nation from the production boom supporting us following World War II, to the idea boom that drove us to continue being the strongest economy in the world.  It is this idea boom that sculpted the way HireSpeed's management hashes out ideas -- look to historically proven solutions, then weigh in alternative methods, and weigh them as the course of action.     

December 3rd, 2007 -- As an active business, you are involved heavily in your community.   HireSpeed believes that not only should you serve your clients, and utilize other local services, but also help in whatever way reasonable.  Each HireSpeed employee is urged to be involved in community improvement.  This may be by holding public office, volunteering, fundraising, getting involved in events or organizations.  Our HireSpeed -Boston office joins the Holliston community by substitute teaching.  As we believe that everyone in a community is responsible for pitching in to help, we feel that our outside business experience can be an asset to the children of Holliston High School, and have offered up our local partner's service to this cause when needed.

September 6th, 2007 -- HireSpeed launches its first blog.  As the recruiting marketplace, technologies, and communications have changed, HireSpeed has added a blog to discuss important topics in its user forum.  We encourage clients, candidates, or general viewers to post constructive opinions in this forum to help the overall community.

August 24th, 2007 -- HireSpeed has a record summer!  Often in the staffing business, the summertime is the slow-time as many manufacturers slow down, hiring managers are on vacation, and their own staff takes time off.  This year has been quite the opposite with HireSpeed recording its best summer on record, with most of the staff having personal bests.  "While we've faced plenty of adversity in the past year, we've had strong growth.  This summer was not very restful, but we have been so happy to fulfill our clients' record needs.  The largest growth skill set has been IT, but we've seen it across-the-board as well.  We hope the economy, as well as the strong contributors we've placed, keeps our clients at the tops of their respective games.", says Managing Partner, Matt Bowie.  HireSpeed attributes economic growth, ultra-strong customer service, and excellent process management as keys to its success.

May 1st, 2007 -- With companies constantly looking to streamline processes, and save costs,  HireSpeed sees a strong increase in its Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).  Since February of 2007, HireSpeed has seen an increase in the needs of its customers for RPO.  Often known as Contract Recruiting, this process allows companies that need to do a lot of rapid project-based, or seasonal hiring to do just that without the high cost of hiring new internal staff to perform these duties.  HireSpeed offers hourly or weekly fee structures these services, and teams with existing staff to quickly generate the position descriptions, attract the candidates, screen out the non-qualified personnel, and streamline the interview and hiring process.  We act as a transparent agent of the hiring body, and as such expand the brand image of the company. 

March 29th, 2007 -- While HireSpeed is a full-spectrum staff augmentation services firm, it follows the needs of its existing clients as opposed to many competitors that market in a certain vertical.  HireSpeed has seen a three-fold increase in its own ERP staffing and placement activities, primarily with Oracle and SAP skill sets and has acquired extra databases and networks to support this.  Over 60% of our business comes from referrals, and these referrals have brought us into this vertical specialty as a dominant player in the market in the northeast corridor and west coast as well.
