About Us - A recruitment company with a difference

In 1946, William Russell Kelly opened Kelly Services from a small office in Detroit, Michigan.  He began with two employees and the vision to treat every customer like the only customer.  William Russell Kelly was a pioneer and helped shape the way for the modern staffing industry as we know it today.  More than six decades later the company philosophy of treating every customer like the only customer is alive in everything we do and is just one of the reasons Kelly has emerged as the most trusted and respected name in workforce management solutions.  Over 60 years Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA, KELYB) has become a Fortune 500 company headquartered in the US in Troy, Michigan, offering staffing solutions including temporary staffing services, staff leasing, outsourcing, vendor on-site and full-time  placement.
