SEATTLE, WA – May 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Entrepreneur Magazine released its latest hot 100 list of America’s fastest-growing new businesses in America and Techlink Northwest, one of only two Washington state companies to make the grade, is named for the second year in a row. Techlink Northwest is one of the top providers of hardware and software product development engineers on a contract and permanent basis to technology companies in the Puget Sound area; they were one of 10 staffing companies to be named on the list. <\/p>\n

“I think the reason for our fast and consistent growth,” Donn Harvey, founder of Techlink Northwest, explained, “is our technical focus, experienced staff of technical recruiters and the increased use of a contingent engineering workforce to staff new product development projects.”<\/p>\n

According to the American Staffing Association, the temporary employment business has grown to be a multi-billion dollar industry. In 2005, the staffing industry generated more than $82 billion in revenue. Of that total, $70 billion was from temporary and contract services. <\/p>\n

“Technical Staffing is one of the fastest growing sectors of the staffing industry,” explained Harvey. “America’s workforce is changing and more people are seeking flexibility in employment; in turn, companies are tapping into that labor market to keep fully staffed during busy times or when assistance is needed on a special project.” <\/p>\n

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that staffing companies, at the close of the first quarter for 2006, posted a nearly 5.2 percent gain over the same quarter last year. Specifically, Techlink Northwest’s contract employment index increased 15 percent for the quarter; and is 89 percent higher than the same time last year. <\/p>\n

Entrepreneur Magazine chooses companies based on information from several financial sources such as Price Waterhouse Coopers and the National Venture Capital Association. The fastest-growing companies are mailed questionnaires, and financial statements must be provided. The company’s sales growth is then measured from their date of inception.<\/p>\n

To be considered, businesses must have been founded no earlier than 2001; the founder must be actively involved in the daily operations and have controlling interest; 2005 sales must be at least $1 million; and the company must have fewer than 1,000 employees.<\/p>\n
