Meet the
FurstStaffing Team
We love working for you.
Our History
FurstStaffing has been in business since 1971. Our half century of experience helps us identify reliable, qualified candidates with exceptional work ethic and the skills you need for your business. The average tenure of our internal staff is over 16 years, which means we have tons of experience finding the right person for your job! In fact, we’re obsessed with creating great matches. That’s why we have recruiting teams dedicated to each of the industries we serve. Our expert recruiters have deep knowledge of the skills and experience that will help them find the best talent for each placement.
When our Founder and CEO, Darlene Furst, started the business, she had two young kids. As a working mother, she understood the importance of offering a flexible work environment. Our staffing agency culture offers flexibility so our team can fulfill responsibilities such as taking children to appointments or other important personal duties. We believe fostering an environment of fairness and respect for personal and professional responsibilities better supports the health, happiness, and work-life balance of our valued employees – and leads to better results for our clients and candidates.
FurstStaffing strives to meet – and exceed – the expectations of our clients and candidates. In fact, that’s how our business grew. In 1971, we only did direct hire placements, but our happy clients asked us for help filling temporary roles in their organizations. Of course! We were happy to provide that service to our Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin clients – just as we continue to meet our partners’ evolving needs in every way possible.
