Salt Lake City, UT, May 22, 2009 - Dave Stryker, SOS Skill Staff's Regional Manager over Utah and Wyoming, was presented with SOS's prestigious "Regional Manager of the Year" award at the company's President's Club banquet held in San Diego, California last month. SOS's President's Club is designed to recognize top field leaders whose branches reach or exceed performance targets set by Executive Officers.

With SOS Skill Staff for more than 16 years, Stryker is personally known throughout northern Utah for his active involvement in organizations such as the Utah Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, Utah Alliance, the Advisory Board for Weber State University's Construction Management Program and Hill Air Force Base's Military Affairs Committee.

"By staying actively involved in our community and industry associations, we are developing strong relationships, staying connected with the local workforce and supporting industry programs - building a pool of workers that are available now and in the future for Utah employers," comments Stryker.

"Times are tough for many right now, so the community relationships we've built allow us to gain a good gauge on current labor trends, capture strong candidate referrals, tailor our recruiting efforts to better match talent with opportunity throughout our company network and help facilitate growth," says Stryker.

Offering an array of hiring options, SOS Skill Staff is seeing its services help employers ride the economic waves by providing flexible employment solutions. "We are finding more and more employers coming to us to learn how our services can function as a strategic hiring alternative - controlling costs during uncertain times," says Stryker. Examples of SOS Skill Staff's abilities include helping employers bring back previously displaced or retired personnel on a temporary basis, providing temporary personnel on a short-term basis for unexpected projects or business upticks, and affordable outplacement services to assist transitioning employees.
