Local Boston Staffing Firm Hollister Featured in Boston Business Journal's 2009 Book of Lists

Feb. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- The Boston Business Journal has ranked Hollister, a leading full-service staffing firm, in the categories of Fastest-Growing Private Companies, Largest Minority/Women-Owned Firms, and Largest Temporary Placement Agencies in the 2009 edition of its annual Book of Lists.
 
"As we celebrate our 20th year in business, we are proud to be growing within such a vibrant and diverse business community," says Kip Hollister, Founder and CEO of Hollister. "Despite the economic challenges that lie before us, we are excited to continue our expansion within the Greater Boston market."
 
The lists were determined by survey information analyzed and gathered by the Boston Business Journal between 2004 and 2007 from private businesses in the Greater Boston area whose annual revenue exceeded $1 million.
 
After 20 years of matching Massachusetts employment opportunity with talent, Hollister is ranked No. 57 on the list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies, with 75% revenue growth from 2004 to 2007. The ranking speaks to Hollister's continued success in managing a rapidly growing company to achieve high revenues in an extremely competitive market.
 
Hollister came in at No.13 on the list of Largest Temporary Placement Firms. The company sends out a daily average of 550 temps/contracts in the areas of accounting and finance, administrative, creative and marketing, human resources and technology.

"We are really starting to notice an up tick in our temporary/contract business as many companies are just not capable of making long-term hiring commitments due to the economy," explains Hollister. "In order for businesses to remain competitive and keep productivity up, the contract route is the most strategic."
 
Hollister was also ranked No.9 on the list of Largest Minority/Women-Owned Firms. Hollister started the company in 1988, oversees 81 employees and owns 100% of the company.
