Express Employment Professionals reported today that sales rose to a record $3.56 billion in 2018, up 5% from the previous year. The company ranks No. 6 on Staffing Industry Analysts' list of largest US staffing firms.

The Oklahoma City-based staffing company counts more than 800 franchise locations in the US, Canada and South Africa. Last year, it launched the ExpressJobs app in North America that connects job seekers, including current Express associates, with local offices and provides real-time, location-based services.

“We have big plans for 2019, which include technology upgrades, associate appreciation programs and continuing to strive to put a million people to work, annually, just to name a few,” CEO Bill Stoller said.
