Over time, our reputation for quality placements grew, and thus so did the demand for our services. As a result, we expanded our services to include staffing for skilled trades, administrative, it/technical, engineering, and managerial positions.

Our branch is located in Kenmore, and services a wide area within Buffalo and surrounding areas throughout the North and South Towns.
