From The InSource Group’s viewpoint, it is always a treat when you showcase a client.  It is an even greater treat when the topic has a positive social and professional impact on the economy.  Such is the case with FASTSIGNS (www.fastsigns.com).

In August of this year (2011), FASTSIGNS was a finalist in the Tech Titans competition sponsored by The Metroplex Technology Business Council.   FASTSIGNS was one of the top three contenders in the category of Technology Adopters from the largest pool of Tech Titans competitors in the last 10 years.  The InSource Group wrote about their performance in an earlier blog.

Here is another competition in which FASTSIGNS will be a clear winner……………… hiring and supporting our returning military veterans.

Besides being FASTSIGNS’ CEO, Catherine Monson also serves on the board of directors for the International Franchise Association (IFA).   According to Catherine, “There are 825,000 franchise locations in the U.S. and those folks support nearly 18 million jobs.  In those 18 million jobs we should be able to find 75,000 or 80,000 for veterans.”

FASTSIGNS has committed to hire 200 veterans at FASTSIGNS locations as a part of IFA’s Operation Enduring Opportunity.  Additionally, FASTSIGNS also provides a discount on the franchise fee to veterans opening a new FASTSIGNS franchise.  We applaud Catherine’s and FASTSIGNS tangible commitment in supporting our U.S. military veterans.

The InSource Group supports our clients through our technical staffing services. As an IT staffing firm we see on a daily basis the importance of hiring the right person for the right job.  Our thanks go out to FASTSIGNS for their ability to extend their hiring practices to the veterans who serve our country so well.
