history

Kelly Services founder, William Russell Kelly, was among the first to hire temporary staff. In 1946 he opened an office in Detroit , Michigan. Together with two employees, Kelly offered local companies commercial services such as paperwork or bookkeeping. Soon, more customers wanted employees to work on their own premises. So Kelly moved his business to the leasing of workers and thus laid the foundation for modern personnel services .

In the late 1960s, William Russell Kelly laid the foundations for Kelly Services' international expansion and opened the first international office in Toronto , Canada in 1968 . The first European office followed in Paris in 1972 , and another in London in 1973 . Kelly Services has been in Switzerland since 1979, where its first branch was opened in Neuchâtel . After the merger with the WORKSHOP group, Kelly Services has been represented in Germany by Kelly Services GmbH since 1998. The company is a member of the BZA and has its headquarters in Hamburg .

The headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and the headquarters for Switzerland are located in Neuchâtel (Switzerland).
