Our Philosophy:
Availability strives to provide high quality staffing support to our clients. We provide temporary, temp to hire and permanent placement staff to clients in the St. Louis area.
We begin each client relationship by carefully learning the company’s needs. We focus on listening to the customer, personal integrity and the delivery of superior service. Through attention to detail and genuine interest, we build long-lasting working relationships–one assignment at a time.
Our History:
Availability, Inc., was founded in 1964 by Gene Hamel, the father of the current owner. Since that time, Availability has been providing high-quality staffing assistance in the areas of clerical, secretarial, accounting, medical and administration.
In 1996, Availability acquired Temporary Team, a 10-year-old company. This acquisition allowed us to expand our recruiting and service territories tremendously. We now offer services within the following counties: Greene, Jersey, Madison, St. Clair and Monroe as well as St. Louis City and County. We are currently the only Metro East staffing service with multiple locations.
Whether you need coverage for a one-day project, a long-term assignment or a permanent opening …
“You can rely on us”.
What Our Clients Are Saying About Us:
“I used Lee for around 15 years to fill all our long term, short term and permanent part time positions. Availability always was able to screen and select people that were excellent at their jobs and saved us the management time required to try to find and screen people which was not what we were good at. I think the best tribute to Lee is that at one time I looked around the office and over half of our full time permanent employees started there as temps from Availability. A great company that you will be glad you selected for your permanent or temporary needs. Top qualities: Personable, Good Value, High Integrity”. - Carl Blackwood (formerly of Jefferson Smurfit)
“We’ve used your company for many years and have hired many good people that have remained with us. You are fast, efficient and friendly We’ve been very pleased with your placements. Thanks! If someone were to tell me they were thinking about using Availability, Inc. I would tell them to Go for it!” -Judy Gann (Riverbend Head Start and Family Services)
