Kelly Services Named One of America's Greatest Brands!

Standing next to brands like Campbell’s Soup, Energizer, and NASCAR, Kelly Services was named one of America’s Greatest Brands in 2009 by Brand Keys, Inc.

Kelly Services founded the staffing and recruiting industry, which has since grown into a $350 billion market. William Russell Kelly’s original business was created to transcribe and word process documents sent over by customers. One day in 1946 his biggest customer called because their receptionist hadn’t shown up that day and he desperately needed someone to fill-in. “Russ” Kelly lent his own secretary to the customer, and that’s how the concept of "temporary staffing" was created. Eventually other companies heard of his service and began calling Kelly with requests for steel workers, accountants, scientists, and engineers. Over the past 63 years Kelly Services has perfected the art of staffing and has developed the resources to successfully recruit and fill any position.
