The North Carolina Association of Staffing Professionals was
founded in 1966 as the Institute of Temporary Services to ensure
that qualified temporary help services were available to business
and industry while simultaneously providing flexible employment
opportunities to the work force. From 1970 to 1994, the association
solely represented temporary help companies. In 1994, the name was
changed to reflect the myriad of services offered by staffing
services. For many years, North Carolina had 2 associations in
order to serve both Temporary Staffing Services (NCATSS) and the
Recruiting Industry (NCAPS). In January of 2000, due to the diverse
and blended services those in the staffing industry offer, the two
associations joined forces to create the North Carolina Association
of Staffing Professionals (NCASP).
The function of NCASP is to promote the staffing industry in a
positive, educational and ethical manner and act as a watchdog for
legislation which might adversely affect the industry. NCASP is the
only trade association in NC that represents ALL areas of the
staffing business – temporary, direct hire, long term staffing,
executive recruiting, contract employment and everything in
between.
NCASP is a proud chapter association of the National Association of
Personnel Services (NAPS) and the American Staffing Association
(ASA).
There are numerous benefits to being a member of NCASP. Some of
those include:
