A Trip Down Memory Lane

Global Employment Solutions was formed in 1998 with the acquisition of leading staffing firms in five major market areas (TPS in North Georgia; FAST in New York, NY; Main Line in Philadelphia, PA; Excell in Chicago, IL and Southeastern in Tampa, FL). The founding companies date back to 1968 and average more than twenty years of successful operation in each of their markets.

Fueled by a desire to expand its service offerings, in February 2007 Global acquired yet another company—Career Blazers. With offices in New York City, New Jersey, Washington DC and Maryland, Global customers and associates now benefit from a full range of corporate services across multiple locations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

As a testament to its success, Global Employment Solutions was ranked as one of the 10 fastest growing staffing companies in 2011
