Our Values

Our Story

TPD Founded | 1980

The Personnel Department was founded with a unique mission: to put people first. We opened our doors on July 2, 1980, as the first temporary staffing agency to put an emphasis on retention by offering our Fieldstaff competitive pay, active performance management and 100 percent employer-paid benefits. From the very beginning, our focus on quality, retention and putting people first has allowed our clients to access the top talent they need, when they need it.

Service Expansion | 1980 – 2013

During our first three decades in business, our service offerings grew to include recruiting, executive search, payroll processing and much more. This evolution was driven by the needs of our clients and our commitment to being their full-service workforce partner.

Total Workforce Solution | 2013 and Beyond

In December of 2013, “The Personnel Department” became TPD, unifying our services into a Total Workforce Solution that includes recruiting, temporary staffing, payrolling services and much more.
