What factors have contributed the most to your growth in the past three years?
Scott Mayer, chairman and chief executive officer: “Over the past three years, we have worked at growing our existing lines of business and really expanding our professional division. We rebranded the division as ‘accelerate professional talent solutions’ in December 2021. The further expansion of professional talent solutions offerings from QPS has enhanced partnerships with clients, customers and candidates at all levels. In addition, becoming 100% employee owned has helped retain current staff and attract job seekers.”
Where do you see the most opportunities for your company to continue growing?
“QPS has always been strong on manufacturing, but we believe there is an opportunity to diversify, and we have been growing our professional division to accelerate professional talent solutions.”
