Michigan-based Diversified Industrial Staffing receives national recognition as one of the fastest growing companies in U.S. by Inc. Magazine Increase in skilled job placement earns company distinction of “Inc 5,000” August 12, 2009 TROY, Mich – In a state facing double-digit unemployment, Diversified Industrial Staffing, a recruiting and staffing firm headquartered in Troy, Mich., is receiving national recognition for its success and growth in skilled trade job placement. For the second time in three years, Diversified Industrial Staffing was named to Inc. Magazine’s “Inc. 5,000” as one of the fastest growing privately-held firms in the U.S. Diversified Industrial Staffing fulfills a special niche that otherwise was overlooked. It operates much like a headhunter for blue collar skill trade workers by matching experienced candidates with full-time, permanent employment. Over the past three years, Diversified Industrial Staffing has seen an 11 percent increase in business and credits this to its specialized services. In explaining the approach that has fueled his company’s success, Todd Palmer, President of Diversified Industrial Staffing said, “Our candidate-centric model enables us to determine the best positions suited for each individual candidate based on skill set, which provides both the candidate and employer with the most optimal match,” He added, “Our goal is to provide employers with employees who produce revenue from day 1 not day 31.” Since founded in 1997, Diversified Industrial has successfully placed 3,500 people in southeastern Michigan. The company recently expanded its potential employer base to the national level and works with various employers and job candidates across the country. - MORE - Palmer knows the pitfalls and agony involved in finding a job and has overcome mounting obstacles and setbacks to eventually become a successful business owner. He lost four jobs in less than three years while going through a divorce in the 1990s. “I know what it’s like to be desperate for a job,” Palmer said. “I was a single father at age 24, over $70,000 in debt, evicted from my apartment, my car was repossessed and I had to file bankruptcy.” Now Palmer is using his personal experiences and expertise to help unemployed workers find new jobs in today’s struggling economy with a seminar he conducts called the "Job Search Process Training Program." The three-hour seminar is based on principles from the book he authored, “Find and Land a Great Job in as few as 7 Days.” The seminar costs $49.99 and includes a money-back guarantee for anyone who follows the instructions and doesn’t get a job in six weeks.

Among the job-seekers who have succeeded after following Palmer’s advice is a displaced plant manager who got his dream job after Palmer suggested that he approach an employer who wouldn’t hire him and volunteer to work for free for two weeks.
