The American Staffing Association (ASA) celebrates National Staffing Employee Week from September 8–14. This annual tribute shines a spotlight on the invaluable contributions of the millions of temporary and contract employees who drive businesses forward, bring new energy and expertise to teams, and weave the fabric of local economies.
At its core, ASA created this week to recognize temporary employees as essential players in the workforce. Each year, ASA kicks off the festivities by announcing the National Staffing Employee of the Year and industry sector All-Stars, showcasing remarkable individuals whose dedication and drive embody the best of our industry. At Staffers, we also select our very own Employee of the Year! We announce later in the week and give this temporary employee recognition based on their work ethic, leadership, and professionalism.
More than awards and accolades, National Staffing Employee Week celebrates the spirit of flexibility, resilience, and opportunity that staffing empowers. For many, working with a staffing agency like Staffers isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about finding a path forward, gaining skills, and tapping into roles that may never be posted publicly.

Why Celebrate Staff Agencies
Looking for work is rarely straightforward. ASA notes that staffing agencies streamline the search process by matching skill to opportunity and making connections often missed in traditional job searches. Agencies help get resumes in front of the right people, fostering chances that might remain hidden otherwise.
At Staffers, we double down on that mission with hands-on, personalized support. From résumé revisions and interview prep to career guidance, we’re by your side- empowering each candidate to feel confident, prepared, and matched to roles that count.
National Trends, Mississippi Roots
For all the national momentum ASA brings, the mission is most meaningful at the local level – where communities anchor economic growth and futures begin to flourish. At Staffers, we are deeply rooted in Ridgeland and Jackson, Mississippi, serving Hinds, Rankin, and Madison counties with staffing solutions that reflect our region’s unique needs and opportunities.
Our mission – simple, but powerful – is to foster a WIN-WIN-WIN experience. That means the right match for job seekers, great talent for employers, and shared success for Staffers. Literally, we’re in business to find jobs for employees and employees for businesses—making a difference, one job at a time. Staffers Inc.
Founded in 1999 (with roots going back to 1987), Staffers embodies local trust and deep experience. Our values, captured in the acronym WE CARE, emphasize being Well-Connected, Efficient, Committed, Appreciative, Reliable, and Empathetic—qualities essential to long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.
