We create customized staffing solutions that have helped our clients turn their staffing challenges into a competitive advantage.

PACE’s story begins in 1975 when we became one of the first placement agencies in our local market to require  the employer, not the job seeker, to pay the fee.  Our  founders, two young female  entrepreneurs, had a vision for how an employer paid recruiting and placement service could “make a difference”-  and we did!

We started doing temporary staffing in 1985 and once again lead the way by offering the (new at the time) “temp to hire” way of staffing to then maverick technology companies like Microsoft, Adobe, and T Mobile.  These high growth companies needed a fast, efficient way to put the right employees to work without the hassle of hiring direct.   The temp to hire staffing model was the perfect solution.

In 2003 PACE initiated another innovation – a NETWORK of  local and national staffing agencies who worked together to provide employers with ONE STOP access to a wide range of niched staffing providers.  Our NETWORK quickly became the service platform dujour for Northwest “bigs” like Intermec Technologies (now Honeywell),  Group Health (now Kaiser Permanente), Children’s Hospital and more.

We’re proud of the fact that the MISSION we set for ourselves in 1975 – “to make a difference” – continues to inspire the PACE team today.  Each time we use our specialized expertise to help our client’s achieve a business goal or solve a difficult staffing issue, we know we’ve made a difference!

Today PACE is busy transitioning into a new generation of “make a difference” leadership.  We’re looking forward to continuing our story!
