January 2026 Employee of the Month!

What do you get when you cross a violinist who practices archery with a staffing agency looking for superstars? You get the Philly Temps & Perm employee of the month for January, Rachel S.

Philly Temps targets candidate is one who is open-minded, diligent, professional, self-aware and engaged and we hit the bullseye with Rachel!

All job interviews, even for temporary roles, start with an employer making sure a candidate is a good fit for them, however it only works if the employer is a good fit with the candidate’s needs. Rachel was prepared for her interview and had clear expectations which is refreshing in today’s candidate pool. The fact that Rachel is an accomplished worker with an impressive list of accomplishments makes our decision to shine a spotlight on her even easier.

Thank you, Rachel!
