In the late 1980s, as managing partner for a staffing firm, John Hall, Jr. launched 11 staffing offices.

The techniques he used showed him that offices in the rapidly growing staffing industry had the best chance for success if they were independent, very professional and backed by a strong corporate support system.

In 1990, Hall and his wife Glenda, assumed sole ownership of the 11 offices and formed @WORK Personnel Services. Today, @WORK has grown to be cited as one of Staffing Industry Report's Top U.S. Staffing Firms.

The @WORK Franchise office approach enables owners to have complete independence and control of local decision-making, while the corporate office provides essential and cost-saving back office support for critical functions.

Hall's entreprenurial vision has led to the creation of AtWork Franchise, Inc., the parent of a group of companies, each filling a different staffing industry role. In addition to @WORK Personnel Services which serves principally the clerical and light industrial markets, these include:

@WORK Medical Services: Providing employment opportunities for nurses and allied health professionals while filling a need for hospitals and other medical facilities.

@WORK HelpingHands Services: offering non-medical home assistance services.

@WORK Search Group: a full-time direct placement service.

AtWork Franchise, Inc. gives entrepreneurs choice, value and the ability to own their own business. AtWork Franchise, Inc.'s remarkable growth is fueled by John Hall's vision: think ahead, create opportunity, give exceptional support to franchise offices and always look for the better way, every day.
