You, and the public, know that you're doing something right when you're on the Inc. Magazine's Inc. 500 list. Currently, only 3 companies in Knoxville can brag about being on the list and M Force is one of them. The Inc. 500 List is reserved for the best of the best, and the numbers just don't lie.

M Force is a professional staffing company based in Knoxville, TN. They are not just another employment agency and they're certainly not a temporary service. The company has been named one of the fastest growing and superbly managed businesses in the USA.

With only five years in existence and only 13 employees M Force has had a 961% growth rate with an eye opening $4.3 million revenue.

In a time when many businesses are struggling and folding M Force is not only growing, it's booming. After a few days of research and asking questions, which were soon answered, it was apparent that they are doing three things that many businesses underestimate: Their public relations are superb; they're refusing to settle for second best; and, most importantly, they're getting results for their clients. The bottom line is: New and innovative technology solutions mixed with personal service.

The most crucial part of the interview process is the first minute or two. Most employers can tell within 90 seconds if you're the right person for the position. To save the employer and the potential employee both time and money M Force is now using video resumes. Along with a short video, all paperwork and resumes are included. At the M Force office the person seeking employment is walked through the entire process and, if the person is out of town, they guide them through the entire process via phone. The employers can view the videos and look over the paperwork at their leisure and on their allotted time. Another added benefit is that the process also eliminates any potentially awkward situations. It's a win/win for all involved. M Force is the only staffing agency in Tennessee offering this technology.

The corporate headquarters is at 1626 Downtown West Boulevard.
