2013 List of Largest U.S. Staffing Firms and Market
Share Analysis
Introduction:
• We estimate that 105 firms generated at least $100 million in U.S. staffing revenue in
2012. Added together, these firms generated $70.1 billion in U.S. staffing revenue in 2012,
which comprised 54.1% of the total market, according to our estimates. The complete list
of 105 firms can be found starting on page three of this report.
• We have ranked companies by revenue, according to industry custom, but this ranking
should not be taken to imply that a firm with a higher rank provides better service or more
value to its shareholders.
• Staffing firms varied in degree of financial transparency, and even when forthcoming with
information, in some cases data provided was adjusted for the sake of consistency.
Therefore, for all firms on this list, the revenue reported is estimated by Staffing Industry
Analysts.
• Overall, we believe that this list is accurate and can be used appropriately to get a “big
picture” reading of the U.S. staffing market. However, as we are constantly improving our
methodology, in some cases this year’s estimates may not be strictly comparable to those
of previous years. For that reason, we did not report prior year revenue in this list.

This represents the 18th annual list of
largest U.S. staffing firms produced
by Staffing Industry Analysts. All of
the companies listed were invited to
provide their revenue numbers via
online survey in Feb/Mar 2013. For
firms that did not participate in the
survey, revenue estimates were based
on company reports, company
websites and other sources. Our lists
are of strong interest to staffing
buyers and we hope those listed will
benefit from the increased buyer
awareness. Firms not on this list that
feel they should have been included
are encouraged to contact Staffing
Industry Analysts, as we will be
releasing a follow‐up briefing for any
late additions. Many thanks to the
staffing firms who offered their
encouragement and assistance in this
year's list process.

About the 2013 List of Largest U.S. Staffing Firms
Information Provided:
How does SIA define staffing?
• Companies were ranked by their estimated 2012 U.S.
staffing revenue. Franchise revenue was accounted for on a
gross basis.
• We include the following components within staffing: 1.
temporary staffing – a B2B transaction in which a
contingent worker is assigned by a staffing firm and the
firm is paid based on the amount of time the worker
spends on the assignment, 2. place/search – a B2B
transaction in which a firm is paid to recruit a
non‐contingent worker, 3. net payroll/compliance
revenue, 4. net PEO revenue, and 5. outplacement.
• The list also provides our estimate of each company’s
market share of the U.S. staffing industry. Market share is
calculated by dividing a company’s listed revenue by our
2012 industry estimate of $124.0 billion.
• Our estimate of the two segments in which a company
generated the most revenue are also provided.
• We do include incidental VMS/MSP fee revenue
generated by a firm in which its primary business is staffing,
but do not count fee revenue from pure‐play VMS/MSP
providers.
What is not staffing?
• Transactions that we do not classify as a B2B arrangement
(home health, business to consumer).
• Any business in which a company/contingent is paid a flat
fee to complete a project, and the fee is not based on hours
or days worked or number of workers (solutions/SOW).
• Any outsourcing arrangement in which the company is
paid on an hourly basis but the assignment is indefinite.
