International expansion, key client wins and new channel partnerships drive growth

LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bartech Group (Bartech), a leader in global workforce management solutions, announced today that the company achieved record growth in 2012.

“We attribute the excellent progress seen in 2012 to our over-arching strategy that included pursing strong domestic growth within new and core client accounts, deepening our channel partnerships, and exciting investment in our international expansion.”

Celebrating 35 years in business, Bartech realized many milestones in 2012. The firm received investments to fuel its growth, was awarded Regional Supplier of the Year by the National Minority Development Council, was recognized as a Top 5 Managed Service Provider (MSP) by HRO Today, and was named an MSP Top Performer by Staffing Industry Analysts.

2012 domestic growth advanced at strong pace

Bartech expanded its domestic delivery including significant wins to deliver MSP and staffing services:

Bartech now utilizes 70,000 workers through its Managed Solutions offering and more than 4,000 workers deployed through Bartech Staffing Solutions.

In particular, customers including Owens Corning demonstrated growth in their sophistication of MSP utilization by implementing Bartech’s advanced strategies for Statement of Work (SOW) and Services Procurement, Independent Contractor Compliance, Payroll and Direct Hire.
• Bartech made significant gains in channel partner strategies and continues to be committed to diversifying and deepening channel relationships with leading Vendor Management Systems (VMS), recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) and strategic staffing partners.
