Each year Staffing Industry Analysts produces a list of fastest-growing staffing firms, and corporate members can click here to see the 2009 list.

The fastest-growing staffing firms list is based on an annual survey that is now under way for 2010. Information from the survey, known as the 2010 Staffing Firm Rankings & Opportunity Lists survey, is also used for other lists such as:

• The largest global staffing firms
• The largest U.S. staffing firms
• Largest U.S. staffing firms by staffing segment and sector
• The largest Canadian staffing firms
• U.S. women- and minority-owned staffing firms
• Staffing firms interested in cooperative selling to government
• Staffing firms interested in making an acquisition
• Compliance/payrolling services providers
• Recruitment process outsourcing providers
 
The lists are also known as the buyers' shopping lists because they are read by companies who use staffing firms to fill their temporary and permanent staffing needs.
