Company Spotlight: SOS Staffing Services
Editor's note: If you'd like your company featured, called Beverly Burge at 801-974-2592.
Looking for a job? Or have a job but want to explore new opportunities? For 37 years, SOS Staffing has been the place to go for both, said Diane Rosander, SOS's Director of Marketing Production and Program Management and the newly elected PCC executive board member. "At SOS, we believe that there is a job that fits every person and a person that fits every job."
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, SOS began providing temporary associates in 1973. The business grew quickly during its first years in Utah and established a reputation for satisfying customers and creating opportunities for associates. Through a balanced approach of organic growth combined with a successful acquisition strategy, the SOS Family of Companies has grown to include over ten brands and operates a network of offices throughout the United States. Serving a diverse range of customers from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, SOS provides employment for more than 70,000 temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire job seekers for more than 9,000 clients every year.
Diane Rosander, SOS’s Director of Marketing and Program Production, stands in front of the company logo. The three-crescent design in the logo represents the people SOS focuses upon: its team members, job seekers and employers.
Diane joined SOS as their Corporate Office Manager over 14 years ago during which time she assisted with the company's International Organization for Standardization registration, a corporate quality credential. After a term as Purchasing Manager, she assumed her current role in 2007. "I oversee the development and implementation of marketing programs," explains Diane, "and I absolutely love it! There's nothing better than helping the SOS Team succeed." One of her favorite duties is providing field support for marketing events and revenue generation, both of which utilize the mail.
Diane, who was recently elected vice chair of the Utah PCC, works on a project with team members Janna Mathews, left and Ann Sharp.
As an example, she coordinates a monthly direct mail program where, among other things, the marketing department creates and provides a topical postcard for branches to mail to their clients. Another program is a "three touch" promotional campaign for prospective clients that includes a personal visit, a telephone call and a mailed piece. Diane, who has become SOS's in-house mail expert, says, "Mail is a very important part of our business. We have to know what the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) allows for First-Class Mail and when rules change. We have wonderful designers who do whatever is allowed creatively and still keep us in that discounted mail category."
Lynda Love Cornia is SOS’s graphic designer. She creates mail pieces and other items for her company.
SOS also uses mail for billing and has centralized billing for all offices. Payments are due on receipt so it's important that invoices get in the mail stream fast and are delivered fast - while at the same time getting the best postage discounts. "Knowing postal regulations and having a strong relationship with the Post Office is important," said Diane, adding that doing both keeps SOS informed of changes that are to their advantage.
Diane went on to say that one of the favorite parts of her job is the service aspect. "It sounds like a cliché, but we are 'people people' and I love to support our field offices. When I support them, they can better support their clients. There is a strong service ethic in our company and a real feeling of service at the Post Office too, which I didn't realize until I got involved with the PCC. I think its fun to be of service."
SOS Staffing services was founded in 1972 and became profitable after only one year. It serves a diverse range of customers from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies and is headquartered in this building on Decker Lake Blvd. in West Valley City, UT.
After experiencing a downturn in business caused by recent economic woes, Diane says its fun to see business pick back up. "People refrained from hiring temps before laying off their own employees. But business is starting to up tic and that's very exciting!"
