Welcome
to the Alternative Staffing Alliance. We
are a national association of alternative
staffing programs dedicated to helping
motivated, disadvantaged individuals participate
and succeed in the mainstream labor market
through temporary and temporary-to-permanent
job placements. The Alliance works to support
and strengthen alternative staffing practitioners,
promote and expand the sector, and raise
employers’ sourcing standards to
improve the temporary work experience of
all low-skilled workers.
As a dynamic community of practice, the Alliance provides member
organizations with practical resources in the form of business and
industry information, peer learning opportunities and technical support
to help them operate more effectively. We also work to raise awareness
about the efficacy and impact of the alternative staffing model to
attract new business, new practitioners and new resources to the
field. |

Sector Description: During the last two decades, temporary
help has ranked as the fastest growing segment of the American workforce.
The “alternative” staffing sector evolved as community
developers and advocates for people on the margins of the economy
recognized the potential of the temporary staffing model to create
pathways for career advancement for low-income individuals poorly
served by the conventional staffing sector. Alternative staffing
organizations (ASOs) identify labor market opportunities and help
low-skilled, unemployed and disadvantaged individuals access them
by making temporary and temp-to-perm job placements on a competitive,
fee-for-service basis.

as a transitional jobs
