			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sonoma, California, February 27, 2012 </strong>– Nelson announced today that it has been named to Inavero’s 2012 Best of Staffing Client list <em>and</em> Talent list. Best of Staffing, presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, is the nation’s first award that recognizes staffing firms that receive remarkable reviews from the people they place and/ or from the clients who hire that talent. Fewer than 1% of North American staffing firms have been named to either list and fewer still make both lists as Nelson has done, excelling in both categories.</p>
<p><strong>“</strong>With less than 1% of staffing firms in the US and Canada being named to the Best of Staffing lists, we are proud to be counted among that elite group,” said Craig S. Nelson, CEO. “We strive to build strong relationships with all stakeholders based on the high integrity of our staff and the excellent service we provide in filling open positions quickly and effectively.”</p>
<p>Staffing firms competing to make the Best of Staffing lists underwent a rigorous survey process followed by careful analysis of responses to determine satisfaction levels. Nelson received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 57.9% of clients and 60.9% of talent, significantly higher than the industry’s average. In fact, Nelson secured spots on both lists by earning an average Net Promoter Score of nearly double the national staffing industry benchmark for client and talent satisfaction.</p>
<p>“The staffing industry continues to play a key role in helping to revitalize the economy,” said Eric Gregg, Inavero’s Founder and CEO. “Staffing firms give growth-minded organizations a more flexible alternative to recruiting their own employees, letting both the employee and employer determine if the fit is right for a more permanent position. Both sides receive tremendous value in a flexible, yet meaningful working relationship, and as they engage with staffing firms to help achieve those goals, the service experience they have is very important to their success. The Best of Staffing lists are a resource for businesses and talent who are trying to find staffing firms that provide exceptional service.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sonoma, California, January 16, 2012 </strong>–Craig S. Nelson, son of Founder Gary D. Nelson, is taking over as CEO of the Nelson Family of Companies, transitioning from his role as Executive VP of Staffing Services into the role of CEO, effective January 12, 2012. Craig takes over from Catherine Candland who is joining ZeroChaos following the recent sale of Nelson’s WorkforceLogic division to them.</p>
<p><span id="more-1113"></span>Says Gary Nelson, “For more than 40 years, I have put my heart and soul into this company. Craig has been with Nelson over ten years and has established strong relationships with staff, clients, and members of the community. I anticipate this will be a smooth transition and the company will thrive under Craig’s leadership.”</p>
<p>No newcomer to leadership, prior to going to work for Nelson as General Counsel in 2001, Craig Nelson spent seven years with the Criminal Division of the California Department of Justice, and before that, three years as a litigator with the Law Offices of Bowles and Verna. He has a Masters of Law from the University of San Diego, his Juris Doctor from Hastings College of Law, and degrees in Business Administration and Economics.</p>
<p>“My father leads by example,” says Craig Nelson. “I will, of course, bring my own style to the role of CEO, but there are many ways in which I will follow his successful path. Being an innovator in the field of staffing and changing the way businesses utilize talent and technology to support their strategic goals is certainly something I will emulate.”</p>
<p>Gary Nelson and the company under his leadership has, indeed, had its share of success. Just this year named one of 100 top influential staffing leaders by <em>SIReview</em>, Gary Nelson built his company from a one-office, one-assistant operation to a corporation consisting of 17 locations and more than 300 employees. In 2011, Nelson won <em>NorthBay Biz</em> magazine’s Best Job Placement service and the Bay Area News Group’s Top Workplaces. The company’s success is indicated not only in awards received, though, but also in revenue. For the last two years running, Nelson has surpassed industry growth rates, with 31% growth in 2010 and 16% in 2011, against industry rates of 12% in 2010 and 10% in 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sonoma, California, October 24, 2011 </strong>– Nelson is delighted to announce founder Gary Nelson’s inclusion in <em>SIReview</em>’s Who’s Who: The Staffing 100. As <em>SIReview</em> put it, “The Staffing 100 is not a ranking; rather, it’s a list of influential staffing leaders chosen after a thorough review of nominations made by [clients], our advisors and the Staffing Industry Analysts’ team.”</p>
<p><span id="more-898"></span>Nelson has had a banner year leading up to this inclusion in the top 100. The <em>Bay Area News Group</em> listed the company as one of the 2011 Top Work Places, <em>North Bay Biz</em> awarded Nelson Best Job Placement Service 2011, and Staffing Industry Analysts and <em>San Francisco Business Times</em> also included Nelson among their “Best Staffing Firms” and “Best Places to Work.” Likewise, WorkforceLogic, a division of Nelson,earned Top Overall Performer VMS/MSP from Staffing Industry Analysts and HRO Baker’s Dozen ranking as a winner in customer satisfaction and breadth of service.</p>
<p>“I couldn’t be more proud of my father,” said son and Executive VP of Staffing Services, Craig S. Nelson. “I believe the thing that makes him stand head and shoulders above the rest is his spirit of innovation and willingness to change. He is always focused on meeting the changing needs of our customers. In the 90s, he saw that staffing was trending toward managed services and vendor management, and, rather than contracting out that business, he hired VMS/MSP experts to develop software that incorporated his 30-some years of staffing experience. The result was WorkforceLogic, a stand-alone business unit that is now relied upon by companies globally.”</p>
<p>When asked how he felt about being named a Top 100 influential leader, Gary Nelson (a staunch San Francisco 49er fan) said, “When the 49ers named us their Preferred Staffing Provider, I thought my year was made, but this is the icing on the cake! I am honored to be in this publication with colleagues who have helped shape the staffing and contingent workforce management industries.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>San Francisco, California, August 1, 2011 </strong>– Nelson Staffing is thrilled to have been selected the Preferred Staffing Provider of the San Francisco 49ers. </p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-851"></span></em></strong></p>
<p>“This is a dream come true,” says 40+ year season ticket holder and company founder, Gary D. Nelson.</p>
<p>The preferred provider recognition marks a commitment the 49ers have to supporting their local vendors; in this case, Nelson, a Bay Area homegrown organization for the past 40 years. “Having the team select us as its preferred staffing provider is an honor,” states Nelson. “It is our privilege and pleasure to provide the 49ers with the best service possible. It’s what the 49ers expect of their players and we, as part of the 49ers’ service team, will not disappoint.”</p>
<p>A five-time Super Bowl winner with 14 Hall-of-Famers to their credit, the 49ers represent a force for high standards, values, and opportunities in this community, and have since the team’s inception in 1946. The partnership with Nelson provides work opportunities at all upcoming 49er events during the coming four seasons, thereby stimulating the local economy.</p>
<p>Nelson will fill a variety of seasonal jobs for the 49ers and have already begun the search for strong candidates. Since all well-run staffing programs include elements other than simply “filling spots,” Nelson will also provide pre-employment screening,  I-9 verification, new employee orientation, and retention strategies to keep the most talented people with the organization.</p>
<p>“The 49ers have selected and coached some of the best athletes in NFL history since the team’s inaugural season. We have been doing the same in the staffing industry for 40 years. We look forward to offering the same excellence in our services that the 49ers do when they take the field,” says founder and owner Gary Nelson.</p>

<p><strong><em><span id="more-834"></span></em></strong></p>
<p>Workplace Dynamics, an independent company specializing in employee engagement and retention, used employee surveys to rank 10 large, 20 midsize, and 35 small companies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Austin, Texas, May 16, 2011 </strong>– Nelson announced the opening of its newest office in Austin, Texas, crediting the expansion to a growing client base within the computer gaming, creative digital, and QA/Production industries.</p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-822"></span></em></strong></p>
<p>The venture into Austin makes sense for Nelson’s dynamic market as Nelson Interactive and Nelson Technology serve a similar client base.</p>
<p>Craig Nelson, Executive VP of Staffing Services, notes, “Austin has a very strong business community and we are excited about working there. We’re in the business of putting professionals to work in the field of computer gaming and technology, and there is a wealth of talent in the Austin area we can recruit for our partner clients.”</p>
<p>Chris Chrisley, brought in as the Director of Business Development to connect Nelson with the business community, is well equipped to do so. Part of Austin’s burgeoning industry since 1998, Chrisley worked as a technical help desk recruiter, filling an impressive 100% of job openings. His success quickly moved him into management where he could hire, train, and mentor a top notch, technical recruiting staff.</p>
<p>According to Marketing Forecast, 2011 will be a growth year in the gaming industry as consumer demand continues to accelerate. Consumer spend in 2010 for all gaming content, including new video and PC games, used games, rentals, subscriptions, digital full-game downloads, social network games, downloadable content, and mobile game apps, was between $15.4 to $15.6 billion dollars. Nelson Interactive will plug into Austin’s game development community, currently represented by about 60 companies, including California clients Sony and Zynga.</p>
<p>Though not focused exclusively in gaming, there is crossover as Nelson Technology matches talent to jobs such as program management, cloud computing, data warehousing, information architecture, and security. Nelson Technology has experience serving both start-ups (of which Austin has many) and Fortune 100 organizations. It is growing by leaps and bounds, with 217% year-over-year growth in the first quarter of 2011 alone.</p>
<p>Tony Bartenetti, Sr. VP of Nelson Staffing, states, “We have a broad line of recruiting and staffing services, but we’re especially proficient in computer gaming and technology, having worked in the field for over 10 years. We specialize in the entertainment software industry so we can offer our clients the very best talent available.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Campbell, California, December 20, 2010 </strong>– The Nelson Family of Companies announced today the opening of its newest office in Campbell, Calif. </p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-737"></span></em></strong></p>
<p>This location replaces and expands the office space formerly situated in San Jose and will house four Nelson business units: Nelson Technology, Nelson Staffing, Nelson &amp; Associates, and WorkforceLogic. The move resulted from an acceleration of business in the Silicon Valley throughout 2010 and Nelson&#8217;s desire to take advantage of new business opportunities in that region.</p>
<p>Gary Nelson, a graduate of San Jose State University says about the move “I’m very excited about opening a location in Campbell, just seven miles from my alma mater! The city is right there in the heart of the Silicon Valley, close to those businesses that rely on us to provide their best talent.”</p>
<p>Home to the Pruneyard Shopping Center, a sprawling open-air retail complex, Campbell was once known for having the tallest building between San Francisco and Los Angeles—the very same Pruneyard Towers that now house Congressman Mike Honda, the FBI, and Nelson!</p>
<p>“The staff will love the modern, spacious offices” says Craig Nelson. “The vibrant atmosphere in the new space reflects the thriving commerce happening all around that area. Growing businesses need top-notch support and that’s where we come in.”</p>
<p>The Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on March 10th but the new offices in Suite 700 at 1901 S. Bascom Avenue are already open for business and visitors are welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sonoma, California, December 20, 2010 </strong>– Nelson is a family run company whose founding family <em>loves</em> the San Francisco Giants. </p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-727"></span></em></strong></p>
<p>The team’s 2010 World Series win brought on feelings of such pride and enthusiasm that the company sought a way to share its joy. The solution became an MVP donation to the Junior Giants, the flagship program of the Giants Community Fund.</p>
<p>Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive, innovative baseball program for boys and girls ages 5-18 years old. Begun in 1994, it seeks to give at-risk kids a meaningful partnership with community-based organizations and offers an alternative to drugs, gangs, and crime. They provide all of the uniforms, equipment, and training necessary to run a league as well as tickets to select Giants games so the youth can experience a Major League Baseball game.</p>
<p>As well as the fundamentals of baseball, Junior Giants focuses on the four bases of character development: confidence, integrity, leadership, and teamwork, which are also highly valued qualities at Nelson. Those four qualities are integrated into the Junior Giants handbook, which is distributed to all of the kids and parents.</p>
<p>Nelson’s “MVP” donation adds two full teams to the Junior Giants’ program. Says Gary Nelson, “We couldn’t be more proud to be associated with such a fine organization. The heart and spirit that makes the Giants such a strong team is also seen in the way they give back to the community. The Nelson family is thrilled to share our happiness through this contribution.” For more information about this and other programs run by the Giants Community Fund, go to: <a title="Junior Giants MLB " href="http://www.mlb.com/sf/community/gcf/" target="_blank">http://www.mlb.com/sf/community/gcf/</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sonoma, California, October 4, 2010 </strong>– The Nelson Family of Companies will kick off its 40-Year Anniversary celebration on October 4<sup>th</sup> when the Mayor of Sonoma, Steve Barbose, presents a proclamation thanking Gary and Marcia Nelson for their many contributions to the community over the past 40 years. </p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-701"></span></em></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_709" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://nelsonstaffing.nfcwp.com/files/2010/10/nelson_proclamation_2010_012.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-709      " style="border: 1px solid black" src="http://nelsonstaffing.nfcwp.com/files/2010/10/nelson_proclamation_2010_012-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mayor Barbose presents a proclamation thanking Gary and Marcia Nelson for their many contributions to the community.</p></div>
<p>Forty years is quite an accomplishment for any business and is especially noteworthy in a privately owned enterprise in the human capital industry. Nelson’s outstanding reputation in the staffing industry connecting thousands of people with jobs in companies throughout Northern California was mentioned in the proclamation, along with the fact that Nelson is the 44th largest staffing firm in the U.S. and has often been recognized as a “Best Place to Work” in the Bay Area.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>“We’re thrilled to be recognized by the City of Sonoma!” says owner Gary Nelson. “I’m so impressed by how far we’ve come from a one-room facility to offices all over the Bay Area! Over the years we’ve placed thousands of people in jobs and contributed talent to so many local businesses. It’s a direct result of the dedication of the staff who have worked hard to make Nelson what it is today.”</p>
<p>In the proclamation, the City acknowledges Marcia and Gary Nelson’s establishment of the Community Care Endowment Fund, a fund that ensures emergency care services are available to all individuals in Sonoma Valley. Also highlighted in the proclamation is the Nelsons’ integral involvement in growing the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance, an organization that provides professional resources, financial support and leadership, and one-on-one advocacy for youth. Other causes championed by the Nelsons include the Boys and Girls Club Valley of the Moon, Field of Dreams, Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, and the Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction.</p>
<p>“It’s been great to watch the company grow and change over the years,” states Craig Nelson. “Gary Nelson has always been an innovator in the staffing and human capital industry. I have been proud to watch him build this company and add value to our clients and candidates. His thought leadership and the creativity of his employees have expanded the company in ways we couldn’t have foreseen 40 years ago.”</p>
<p>After the presentation of the proclamation, celebrations will continue. In mid October, <em>Staffing Industry Analysts</em> is running a feature story about the Nelson Family of Companies’ 40 years in business. On November 6<sup>th</sup>, the Tenured Nelson Talent (TNT) group will convene to celebrate their 8-40 years of serving in business together. To wrap up the festivities, in 2011 there will be an event for all employees.</p>
<p>Nelson put together a fun fact sheet of the company’s highlights over the past four decades. To receive a copy, email Courtney Dickson: cdickson@nelsonhr.com.</p>
