Making Staffing Personal Again

About Staffease

When we started StaffEase my goal was to bring relationships back to staffing and recruiting. I wanted to stop the “fill and bill” attitude in the industry and wanted to treat people and clients as individuals, - not as profit. It has definitely not always been easy. I remember going to our Tacoma office every morning (no clients) and opening at 7:00 am.  I kept telling myself: show up! I knew if someone just gave me a chance, I would not let them down. Fast forward two years: we recently moved to a bigger Lacey office, have 5 internal employees and most importantly we have helped over 1000 individuals find work this year. Each one of those people are individuals who are able to earn a paycheck to support themselves and their families.

People ask me all the time:

“What makes StaffEase different than other agencies?” 

I always revert back to the same answer: Our Values: Honesty, People 1st, Gratitude, Purpose and Above and Beyond. These are not something we put on the website and forget about - we live them daily at StaffEase. I am extremely grateful to do what I love every day and if you are looking for a long-term solution and a partner who will treat your business, we would love to speak with you!

The Starfish Story

A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.

She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”

The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference for that one!”
