Press Release: PTS Named One of This Year's Fastest Growing by Inc. Magazine

PTS has been named one of the fastest-growing companies in the country by Inc. magazine, in its annual ranking of the Inc. 500, the comprehensive guide to America's fastest-growing private companies. The Inc. 500 is an exclusive report on the companies who are changing the face of American business. Noteworthy alumni include such household corporate names as Microsoft, Oracle, Timberland, and Dominos Pizza.

This marks the 19th year that Inc. has charted the progress of America's most innovative and successful companies. Inc. is the leading magazine written for men and women who own and manage small-to mid-sized, fast growing companies.

From the beginning, PTS sought to be both different and better, and subsequently changed the relationship that staffing services have with their supplemental employees and clients. By developing and implementing a employee benefits program that gives our employees much the same benefits as the regular full-time staff of our clients and by making these benefits available on an instantaneous eligibility basis, PTS has formed a relationship with our employees that is unparalleled in the industry. This relationship is a key factor that allows us to attract and retain the highest caliber talent for our clients.

"Being recognized as number 143 in the Inc. 500 is recognition of our clients' and employees' confidence in our services. We will continue to strive to provide the most highly qualified supplemental staff with superior employee benefits at cost effective rates for our clients," said June Stein, President.
