"Due to the dynamic growth of Central Eastern Europe, and especially in Hungary, Kelly Services today opened the company's first office in Hungary in response to customer and market demand," said Carl Camden, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Kelly Services, with a proven track record of helping companies find and place qualified employees, is committed to ensuring local and multinational companies operating in Hungary have the highest quality temporary and permanent workforce on the market. It is a win-win for employers and job seekers as Hungary's economy continues to grow in an increasingly competitive European Union."

"In a relatively short time Hungary has gone from a centrally planned economy to one of the more open economies of Central Eastern Europe, with nearly 80 percent of its GDP now provided by the private sector," Camden said. "There is well developed infrastructure in the key transportation, communications, and financial sectors, and foreign investment continues to grow. We are excited to have this new capability to meet the Hungarian needs of existing U.S. customers, and will work hard to gain the trust of new clients as well," Camden concluded.
