AppleOne History

AppleOne History - USA

Founded in 1964 by Bernard Howroyd, AppleOne USA has grown from a single-desk staffing agency to become the largest privately held employment service in the nation with more than five decades of experience to draw from. While most major corporations expand through mergers and acquisitions, AppleOne USA is firmly committed to furthering our expansion through reinvestment in our national network of offices. AppleOne USA's branch network has grown from 81 offices, since 1995, to over 180 offices in the USA. This massive growth represents an expansion rate of over 220% and was accomplished while maintaining our conservative position of remaining virtually debt-free, eliminating any distraction from our main goal of fully servicing our client companies. AppleOne USA is a company whose core philosophies are reflected in our daily practices.

AppleOne History - Canada

AppleOne Canada is a wholly owned and operated Canadian Corporation. Since opening our first branch in 1987, we have grown exponentially with 11 offices now strategically situated in Southern Ontario and British Columbia.

AppleOne Canada's secret to its growth and success is two-fold. First, AppleOne has continually implemented new and innovative products and services. Exclusive services such as our proprietary TAP System, On-line temp ordering and the Internet Time Clock have changed the face of temporary requisition and management.

AppleOne Canada's second secret of success has been its ability to retain clients through our "Client for Life Program." We strongly believe that we cannot service a client company until we truly understand their needs. It is this unwavering dedication to client satisfaction and service excellence that has made AppleOne Canada a leader in today's marketplace.

Customers Are Our Stakeholders

As a privately-held company, AppleOne’s key stakeholders are its clients. This independence enables us to continually foster client-for-life relationships and develop resources designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of our clients

We Back Our Stakeholders

With the average customer relationship exceeding 10 years, we have the data to show that our placements excel in their jobs and are typically promoted within three years of hire. We developed a guarantee program that supports your succession planning and backs the value of the candidate for five years – even in the event of promotion. We can do this because we understand that your long-term financial growth is mutually beneficial to us by gaining you as a client for life.
