#ThisIsFortDodge: QPS Employment
QPS Employment Group, a staffing and recruiting agency, started 31 years ago in the basement of its president’s home in Wisconsin. It has expanded throughout the Midwest with over 50 branches, including Fort Dodge, where it has had an office for four years. The company now employs more than 300 internal employees, and just last year successfully hired almost 5,000 people into permanent positions. In fact, it boasts a 97 percent success rate in placing professionals in some of the most sought-after positions with companies, and 95 percent of placements stay over a year.
“We’re a Midwest company that is family-oriented, and brings together the expertise and resources of a large national firm with the personalized attention to detail and in-depth market knowledge that you typically get from a small, local agency,” says Amy Barding, account executive for Fort Dodge.
QPS maintains the philosophy that the right job has the power to change lives. It has helped thousands of companies improve their workforce and bottom line since its founding in 1985. QPS staffs for accounting, engineering, information technology, manufacturing management, sales, and human resources positions alike. In Fort Dodge, the company is looking to fill positions such as maintenance technicians, automation engineers, production supervisors, CNC operators, assembly workers, and many more.

About Us: Three decades of matching the right person with the right job. When we opened our doors in 1985, we did so with an appreciation for one simple truth. The right job has the power to change lives.
It lifts up the employee. It makes the employer more competitive. And, we soon found out, it makes us here at QPS feel pretty damn good inside. It also turned out to be a pretty good foundation for success. Thirty years later, we’ve grown from a one-room office in suburban Milwaukee to nearly 50 branches in five Midwestern states.
Along the way, we haven’t forgotten what fueled that growth: Our founding commitment to “Do Right” by others, secure in the knowledge that they will in turn “Do Right” by us.
It’s a big reason why our customer retention rate consistently beats the industry average. Why our Associate Employees – we don’t call them “temps” – embrace the idea that an honest day’s work in exchange for a fair day’s wage brings dignity to daily life. And why everyone on our team, from the branch level through corporate headquarters, goes the extra mile to help each other succeed.
We’ve heard it said that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. At QPS, we couldn’t agree more.
