- Global HR solutions leader recognized for providing flexible, portable career opportunities to the spouses of active duty and reserve troops -

TROY, Mich. (May 30, 2008) — Large gaps in employment or starting over in a career are what a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) can mean for many military spouses. But not for the military spouses who have found employment opportunities through Kelly Services.  

For the second year, Kelly was recognized as one of the "Most Military Spouse Friendly Employers" by Military Spouse magazine. Kelly was among a distinguished list of ten national corporations that have made the greatest effort and have had the greatest success in hiring the spouses of military personnel.

"From our experience, military spouses possess a wide variety of skills and experience levels, are dedicated, and have a strong work ethic," said Jocelyn Lincoln, senior director, Americas Marketing Group for Kelly Services. "While frequent relocations may present challenges for some employers, at Kelly it is not an obstacle. We offer military spouses career opportunities both as temporary employees with our customers or within our network of branches, many of which are located near military bases."

Faced with her second PCS within one year, U.S. Marine Corps spouse Rachael Gurule was unsure about her future employment. Little did she know she would find her answer in the July 2007 issue of Military Spouse magazine. In August 2007, she was hired as a Kelly branch manager responsible for sales, operations, and business development.

"I did not want to start my career over each time we moved. After reading that Kelly Services was rated one of the top ten employers for military spouses, I made it my goal to get a job with Kelly," said Rachael Gurule. "It's great to work with people who care about me and have offered so much assistance. With my husband deployed, the support and understanding I receive makes every day a little bit easier."  

"Working for Kelly Services gives me some peace of mind because I know if we have to move again, I am working for a company that provides opportunities throughout the country. I also know that Kelly will do all they can to keep me working in the event we need to relocate," added Mrs. Gurule.
