There is a definite theme running through the business communities of South Jersey and Philadelphia. Simply walk into any company and ask the question: Has anyone here ever worked as a temporary employee or been placed in a permanent position through Emerson Personnel Group? The chances are excellent that at least one person, and maybe more, will raise their hand, and, if not, someone will know someone else who has. This is not surprising since the Emerson family has owned and operated the company for over thirty years, and a conservative estimate puts the number of people they have put to work at over 35,000. People looking for temporary positions, students searching out summer and/or holiday employment, working single parents, people in need of a part-time second job, skilled professionals looking for temporary assignments which lead to permanent positions, and people already in permanent jobs who are looking to make a change for the better - all have had their employment needs met by Emerson Personnel Group.

In 1971, Bill and Annette Emerson bought into a national franchise system and immediately set out to become leaders in the staffing industry in South Jersey and Philadelphia. The Emerson’s continued to grow the business to include a wide range of specialties and a larger geographical focus. As growth accelerated, the once small family franchise came to the point where it consistently led the nation's franchise system in revenue generated. The company also decided it was time to become independent from the franchise.

Currently, Emerson Personnel Group specializes in permanent, contract and temporary employment opportunities in the fields of accounting/finance, human resources, information technology and administrative/office personnel.

One of the most gratifying aspects of building and maintaining a successful staffing firm is following individuals as they progress in their respective careers. There are cases too numerous to mention of people who began their employment histories twenty to thirty years ago as temporary employees for the Emerson’s who now head major corporations, or hold a variety of high level positions in law firms, hospitals, engineering firms, and a multitude of other businesses. In many instances these same people also obtained their current positions through the efforts of the recruiters at Emerson Personnel Group. Of course, in their new positions of authority, it is not unusual for these individuals to turn once again to the Emerson’s to help them meet temporary and permanent staffing needs in their own companies. There are also many stories of three generations within families who have worked for the Emerson’s, thus establishing a real legacy of loyalty to the firm.

The second generation of Emerson’s - Steve, CEO with wife Mary, Office Manager - is poised and ready to grow the business while holding onto the tradition of excellence and service established by their parents. “What separates us from the multitude of other staffing/recruiting firms that are out there?” asks Steve. "The bottom line is that we consistently attract and place the most talented candidates in the region. At the end of the day isn’t that what any staffing firm should be judged on? A passionate commitment to unrelenting friendliness and over the top customer service is the main response we hear when we ask people and companies why they turn to us for help."
