Nelson & Associates Opens Redwood Shores Branch

This is one of three division expansion for the Nelson Family of Companies: we've increased our presence in San Francisco, Redwood Shores and Hollister. Due to the current economic climate, businesses are responding across the United States, by reducing expenditures and where necessary discontinuing unprofitable operations. Staffing firms have been particularly affected; in the last two weeks alone KForce Inc., Heidrick & Struggles International Inc., Manpower, and Robert Half have reported overall revenue decline compared to last year. While the economic slowdown has taken hold in Northern California, some companies are taking advantage of the opportunity to hire good people and expand in order to position the company for the future. For example, the human capital firm, Nelson, has expanded its territory across three business units—Nelson & Associates, Nelson Technology and Nelson Staffing—opening new offices in the Peninsula, San Francisco and the South Valley area respectively. “We feel fortunate that we have been able to meet the demands of our clients and expand our territory even in these tough economic times,” says Nelson Chairman, Gary Nelson. Please see attached press releases for the complete story about Nelson’s recent expansions.
