Mom Corps Expands Opening a Franchise in Northern Virginia

McLean, Virginia (PRWEB) November 16, 2009

As jobless rates soar across the country, Mom Corps, a premier staffing solution company, is expanding and opening a franchise in Northern Virginia.

Jennifer Bainbridge is the new Regional Owner of Mom Corps Northern Virginia. Bainbridge says Mom Corps will provide Northern Virginia area professionals more alternatives in finding flexible work opportunities and afford area companies the option of hiring “on-demand” talent to meet their changing business needs.

Mom Corps provides companies direct access to top-tier experienced talent ready to work on an as needed basis, an option that meets the demands of many businesses' cycles. While enabling professionals to engage in challenging work in their fields, they are also afforded the flexibility for their personal needs and responsibilities. With the launch of its franchising, Mom Corps is tapping into an ever growing pool of experienced, educated professionals seeking flexible, career alternatives.

“Mom Corps’ idea is such a wonderful niche market previously untapped in the Northern Virginia area,” said Bainbridge, “and bringing the staffing idea to my city was a natural fit for me as I am a Mom and do think that flexible work lets you balance it all.”

Prior to Mom Corps, Bainbridge spent more than 13 years in IT Leadership in the telecommunications and financial services industries.

"We are excited to take our business to the next level and continue our growth through the development of our new franchise program in North Virginia," says Mom Corps CEO and founder, Allison O'Kelly. "Franchising is a recruitment strategy to attract motivated, invested employees to Mom Corps and provide them with flexibility in turn."

The launch of Mom Corps' franchises is also timely considering the predicted increase in demand for temporary staffing services this year and in the future. "Uncertainty in the economy is making firms reluctant to hire permanent employees," said Robert T. Sumichrast, dean of the Terry College of Business at The University of Georgia. "That adds to the demand for temporary and part-time positions, and companies are increasingly relying on these staffing firms."

“Mom Corps is a progressive company, what we are doing today is going to become commonplace in the future, that’s why I feel so excited to be involved in this cutting edge movement, “ says Bainbridge.

Mom Corps, founded in July 2005, provides professionals with tools and information to evaluate their career choices as they seek non-traditional employment. In just four years, Mom Corps' roster has grown to more than 35,000 candidates nationwide seeking flexible work schedules, and its client base has expanded to several hundred companies, including Fortune 500 firms. Despite current economic conditions, O'Kelly expects both to double in 2010 through regular business initiatives and the franchise arm.

Bainbridge has extensive experience in all areas of the software development lifecycle with an emphasis on Agile practices and software quality. With this expertise, she has regularly led seminars and classes on evolving IT technology during the past four years. She also has extensive international management experience including offshore and near shore IT staffing solutions. She graduated with an MBA from the College of William and Mary and a BA from Barnard College. Jennifer and her family live in McLean, Virginia.

The North Virginia franchise allows Mom Corps to expand its outreach. Each franchise receives access to the company's web site, database, proprietary systems, methods, training and recruiting tools.
