Business Description
The company is an international provider of temporary staffing services to businesses, government agencies and health care organizations. The company operates through a network of over 340 offices in 44 states and five foreign countries. The Company differentiates itself from other large temporary staffing companies by focusing on providing entry-level light industrial, clerical and light technical personnel services in regional and local markets. The Company believes these markets are less competitive and less costly to operate in than major metropolitan markets. The Company has established a decentralized and entrepreneurial management structure, with each office operating as a separate profit center. The Company believes this structure allows it to recruit and retain highly motivated managers who have demonstrated the ability to succeed in a competitive environment.

Use of Proceeds
Proceeds from the offering will be used to repay certain indebtedness and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
