DES Employment Group

About Us

In 1999, what began as a two-person operation with a focus on providing quality client service is now 10 offices spanning 5 states. Born as DES Staffing Services, Inc. in Des Moines, Iowa, our initial operation was providing staffing solutions for general labor and light industrial requirements. With Corporate offices still based in Des Moines, Iowa – we have expanded our operations into Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. DES now provides not only industrial staffing services, but talent across multiple other industries and a variety of other professional domains. Industrial, Clerical, Professional, IT, or Payroll Services – DES Employment Group has proven its product and collaborated a national network of businesses, vendors and a host of both proprietary and existing valuable resources in order to serve your needs on a larger level.

Our Industry

Nearly a $150 Billion industry, the staffing and employment field continues to strive in all industrial sectors due to high demand from companies needing help in fulfilling their internal staff needs, either temporary or permanent. A staffing firm helps companies in many ways from saving time and providing value-added services along with the screening processes they perform. Staffing is important because it is the process by which you look for people who best match the job description of an available position in the company. Being able to hire the right person for the job would mean being able to maximize the potential of that person in performing their role.

Our Opportunity

When you’re established as a DES franchisee, much of the struggle associated with owning your own business will be removed. You will learn to expect outstanding guidance, service and support from the Corporate office and you’ll be given everything you need for a successful operation. When you join the DES team you are joining a business that has a proven track record. Over the years, DES has developed an operation that provides franchise owners with the tools and resources they will need to succeed. One of the most rewarding aspects of owning a DES franchise is the way you’ll feel about the service you are providing to others. You are helping businesses in your community find qualified employees while helping people who need jobs find rewarding and satisfying careers. Your clients are business owners, managers and professionals who depend on you for employees, as well as your advice – if you don’t know the answer, we will. Throughout the life of your business, we will offer to provide you with back office support; this includes everything from providing the resources for funding your temporary employee payroll and handling administrative support — such as employee taxes and insurance filings. The climate is right for success in the staffing industry — there has never been a better time to become part of the DES team. We invite you to make the move towards building a better future for yourself and your family by becoming a part of our team. You will be benefiting from our previous efforts to ensure your success during the transition to self-employment.
