Your Employment Solutions

What Your Employment Solutions does

Your Employment Solutions (dba YES Staffing) is a privately held, full-service staffing agency founded in 1995 in North Salt Lake, Utah by Reed Laws (CEO) and Kerry Westenskow (President), who remain in active leadership roles. The company provides temporary, long-term, seasonal, and direct-hire placement services across construction, light industrial/manufacturing, warehouse, and administrative verticals, operating five physical offices across Utah (North Salt Lake, Ogden, Pleasant Grove, West Jordan, West Valley City) and claiming service coverage in 46 states.

YES differentiates through a proprietary certified recruiting process, an in-house Utah recruiting job board, and ownership of its own criminal background screening company — a configuration it describes as unique among Utah staffing agencies. Its technology stack includes AI-assisted applicant prescreening, a chatbot-driven interview scheduling workflow, and process automation for candidate outreach, reminders, and onboarding communication; core HR/payroll operations appear to run on third-party platforms such as Avionte. Operational milestones include processing 100,000+ cumulative job applicants (October 2019), accumulating 5,000+ five-star reviews, and winning seven consecutive Best of State Staffing Agency awards (2020-2026).

The business model is a transactional staffing services revenue engine: fees typically range from a 35%-50% markup on employee wages, with YES handling payroll processing, workers' compensation insurance, and administrative responsibilities for placed workers. Go-to-market combines dedicated in-person account managers across physical offices with self-serve online channels (job board, quick-apply portal, employee request form), supported by content marketing (blog, The Staffing Playbook podcast, SEO-optimized local landing pages, multi-platform social presence). Customer concentration is moderate, with named references spanning manufacturing and consulting mid-market accounts.
