Sector Benchmarking Survey

The ASA Sector Benchmarking Survey collects information for the prior fiscal year on staffing company sales, profits, and operations metrics. 2010 is the survey's inaugural year.

The final survey report is segmented by business size and staffing sector, and allows staffing companies to easily see how they compare to similar firms on financial and operations measures. Data on sales, operations, and profits can help you improve efficiency and boost margins. The report also includes data for several industry sectors.

ASA member companies that complete the survey questionnaire are eligible to receive a complimentary full survey report; nonmembers will receive a summary of the key findings with an option to purchase the full report.
