As Branch Manager at Express, I was responsible for management of a new staffing service office including supervision of a Staffing Consultant, Front Office Coordinator and occasional contract Recruiter. This also included setting office goals, conducting meetings to communicate objectives to staff and training of staff in recruiting, staffing and employment. The Branch Manager position is a "working manager" job and I was performing activities in all aspects of employment – heavy recruiting, interviewing, new hire documentation and orientation, employment eligibility verification, payroll processing, accident investigation, incident documentation, employee counseling, terminations and unemployment. Staffing is sales, so developing partnerships with clients by locating and placing qualified individuals that satisfy their staffing requirements was also part of the job.

As a manager, I recruited, trained, and managed a music store staff with a focus on customer service in a 4,100 square foot mall retail outlet and 3,000 square foot free-standing retail outlet. I ordered, received, and returned merchandise and supplies through computerized inventory system. It is important in retail to have a beautifull store, so I also positioned sales and promotional materials as well as merchandised product to maximize shopping convenience and increase revenue. At both locations, I created and maintained filing system that included employee files, financial reports, and store information. In the Jacksonville location, I guided the staff to produce a 20.1% increase in first three fiscal quarters of 1999 and reduce store shrinkage (internal and external) from a phenomenal 12% to just over 2%. Unfortunately, this did involve turning over almost 100% of the existing staff and bringing in new team members. Our Athens store staff earned the district Customer Service Award in 1997 for maintaining the highest yearly average for mystery customer shops.
