Kalama Job Agency Reflects on a Record-Breaking Year

Kalama, Wash. – Express Employment Professionals, a leading job agency in Kalama, WA, is currently looking back on a year full of successful accomplishments as 2018 approaches. It’s been a record-breaking year for Express, all thanks to its associates and clients that make staffing so possible and prominent.

From hitting unprecedented sales marks to setting records for the number of associate hours worked in one week, Express has been taking full charge of the staffing industry this year. Just at the end of July, Express hit $1.86 billion in sales, eight percent ahead of the same period in 2016. Adding on to that, Express has awarded more than 40 franchise locations this year, positioning itself to reach a milestone goal of 800 locations by 2018.

Express Woodland Franchise Owner Lisa Straughan said, “What a year it’s been! We are so proud of both our work in-house and of the achievements made by our hardworking associates."

To build upon even more accomplishments, Express recently set another record with four million hours worked by associates for client companies in one week during the week ending Oct. 22. During those hours worked, Express associates could have built 32 Brooklyn Bridges, 23 pyramids in Egypt, or even two-and-a-half Great Walls of China. With so many good things to reflect on in 2017, the temp agency in Woodland, WA, is excited to break many more records in the upcoming year.

“Next year, we’re hoping to break even more records by continuing to grow and nourish the Express brand. Building long-lasting relationships and putting people in jobs is our expertise. Expect to see much more of that in 2018," Straughan said.
