Despite local economic woes in Michigan, business is booming for Jill Wagenberg, director of Arcadia Staff Resources, Arcadia’s Michigan-based non-health care staffing operation. Arcadia Staff Resources has nine offices including its newest location in Kalamazoo.

Jill believes the success of Arcadia Staff Resources is due to the tremendous sales staff. “The staff is so dedicated to the company and to growing the business.” According to Jill, the most successful sales tactics are consistency and persistence in the designated market areas. Her staff stays on task with target lists that are updated daily with new potential clients.

Jill’s sales staff acts as staffing consultants to businesses. They differentiate themselves from the competition by providing customized staffing solutions to meet the client's staffing challenges. Jill said, “We utilize a unique process to identify specific company needs and creatively develop solutions to address the challenges of human resource professionals.” Arcadia Staff Resources has placed more than 3,900 employees so far this year.
