Talk:Kelly Services

Scandal

Should probably add section on that time their VP had an affair and the corporation did extensive online damage control. 66.244.81.248 (talk) 23:27, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

POV? Reads like an Ad

I removed the NASDAQ acronyms because it started the whole article off with an advertising tone...My edit summary got hosed because of "an itchy thumb" lol - actually this was from this tiny laptop I'm using. My palm keeps touching the touch pad. It's taking some time to get used to. E dog95 00:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

This reads like an advertisement straight out of their brochure - hardly the encyclopedic article I was looking for. --67.41.201.191 (talk) 05:48, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Recent edits

For some reason a flurry of editors have changed the text of the opening paragraph to match the contents of Kelly Serives website. I'm continuously reverting it to a non-copyright violation version.

What's going on here? Dawnseeker2000 14:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Copyright Violations?

I reverted some copyvio additions but the old version is scoring 83.6% on Earwig's Copyvio Detector when compared to http://www.studymode.com/essays/a-Report-On-Kelly-Service-Inc-1660130.html. This is actually a worse score than before I revered it. I was going to gut out all offending paragraphs but the content is referenced well enough that it made me wonder if Studymode are copying from us.

Please can anybody have a look and offer opinions on this? If we are plagiarising them then most of the article has to be deleted but if their article is based on our content then we will do nothing of the sort. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Given the source, it's likely that studymode copied from Wikipedia. The current version is pretty straightforward and neutral. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:56, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:THIRDOPINION

Regarding this request for a third opinion:

Copyright issues aside, this edit reads like an advertisement and is a blatant violation of WP:NPOV. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:57, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The above is an improvement to the current article in the following ways:

• the Infobox parameters have been copied over to the complete, up-to-date Infobox template
• the Infobox has been updated with the company's former names, address, and areas served
• Terence E. Adderley's title has been changed from "Chairman" to "Executive Chairman", which is more accurate
• services are now displayed using the "Flatlist" template
• revenue figures and the number of employees has been updated, with sources provided
• the lead is updated and better sourced

Given the above discussion about the wording of the introduction, specifically whether it presented a copyright issue, I've taken steps to try to prepare appropriate wording that complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. I am hoping to find someone who is willing to implement this edit request on my behalf. I prefer not to edit the article directly given my conflict of interest. Thank you. Jane KS (talk) 19:57, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

• Jane KS, I'm impressed. It's seldom that we see a PAID editor striving to make an article less promotional. Thank you. I'd leave this set for a couple days and if no one voices a concern, go ahead and add it. I'll check back in a few days. The page has less than 30 people watching it, so that's why no one addressed your edit request. Feel free to ping me if you have others. Great job! Thanks. - John from Idegon (talk) 18:53, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

• @John from Idegon: Thanks for your kind words and feedback. I am glad you approve of these proposed changes and hope you may be willing to implement them since no one else has replied. --19:23, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Jane KS (talk)

• @DanielRigal, Dawnseeker2000, and Ohnoitsjamie: I am pinging other editors who have contributed to this article's talk page discussions in the past. I am hoping one of you may be able to help, unless User:John from Idegon beats you to the punch. Thanks! Jane KS (talk) 21:02, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

The changes to the intro look good to me, definitely an improvement. Are you proposing to remove the "History" section, or did you not include that above because you're leaving that as is for now? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:20, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

• @Ohnoitsjamie: I am just looking to update the article's intro and infobox at this time. Thanks! Jane KS (talk) 17:37, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I edit from an Android and cannot execute this change as it involves copying more data than my buffer will allow. i crash every time. John from Idegon (talk) 19:00, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

I updated the page with the proposed edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:08, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: Thank you very much for your help. I have marked this edit request as answered. @John from Idegon: No problem, thank you so much for trying. Jane KS (talk) 14:56, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

I've fixed the template to make it show as as answered. Thanks for your work! ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 18:36, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Infobox, Introduction, and History Section: Kelly Services Request

MichaelBC1 (talk) 02:29, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Michael. On behalf of my employer, Kelly Services, I'm proposing potential edits to be made to the Infobox, Introduction, and History sections. Im requesting these edits for the sake of updating these sections with more recent, detailed, and relevant information. I’ve included a rendering and a markup of the potential edits for easier viewing and integration (if approved):

(formerly Russell Kelly Office Service and Kelly Girl Service, Inc.) is an American office staffing company that operates globally. The company offers an array of professional services, placing employees in various sectors including recruitment, human resource management, vendor management, and outplacement. Additionally, Kelly provides staffing on a temporary, temp-to-hire, and permanent placement basis, working as a global talent solutions provider in areas including finance, science, engineering, education, office, call center, light industrial, and more. Kelly Services was founded by William Russell Kelly in 1946, is headquartered in Troy, Michigan. In 2018, the company reported $5.5 billion in revenue, and placed 500,000 employees to work in positions in various sectors, making it one of the world's largest staffing firms. History Founded in 1946 by William Russell Kelly, the company was originally named Russell Kelly Office Service. Services were provided in-house at the Kelly office. However, as customer offices grew and needed more resources, they began to ask for the Kelly employees to perform the work at their own offices. Temporary workers from Russell Kelly Office Service soon became known as ‘Kelly Girls’. Adelaide Hess Moran, the first Kelly temporary employee to work at a customer’s office was promptly dubbed the first ‘Kelly Girl’. By 1955, the business had opened 35 offices across the country. As a result of its new business model, the company changed its name to Kelly Girl Service, Inc.® in 1957. Eventually, ‘Kelly girl’ became the widely used term for a temporary worker, regardless of gender or company affiliation. The early 1960s reflected a trend of expansion for Kelly in terms of its offices and services. By 1966, the company had expanded to include a range of services — namely, an industrial division and technical services division — and was renamed Kelly Services, Inc.® to reflect these changes. Kelly opened its first international office in Ontario in 1968; this marked the beginning of the opening of a number of other offices and branches. After opening its headquarters in Southfield, Michigan in 1969, the company opened European offices in Paris and London in 1972 and 1973, respectively. By 1978, Kelly moved to its present-day headquarters’ location in Troy, Michigan. The service offerings of Kelly continued to expand to include healthcare, under its Kelly Health Care division, in 1976. With the introduction of an outsourcing and consulting division, by the end of the 1990s, Kelly had become the largest scientific staffing company, and the only company to employ staff in scientific sectors on a global scale.. This was the result of Kelly creating ‘Kelly Scientific Resources’ in 1995, which specialized in temporary staff for scientific endeavors. Recent History Kelly currently offers services including outsourcing and consulting, and staffing solutions from over 70 years of experience with temporary staffing. Its gradual expansion of services has allowed the business to assist with both the hiring process for employees, and for companies looking for specialized employees. With employees being hired globally in engineering, scientific, and office-based industries, Kelly remains one of the world’s largest staffing firms. As of 2019, the CEO of Kelly is Peter Quigley.

• Exact, verbatim descriptions of any text and/or references to be removed needs to be given. Reasons why each change is sought should also be provided. Your request states only that it wishes to "add new claims" or "remove outdated claims". In Wikipedia there is no such thing as an "outdated claim". If the claim is that a company made X amount of dollars for 2018, that claim would not be deleted because the amount the company made in 2019 was a different amount. Both claims ought to be retained. If these claims are to be removed because they are incorrect, then it should be stated how and in what way they are incorrect.
• In the section of text below titled Sample edit request, an example for how incorrect claims are to be fixed is shown:

Sample edit request

1. Please remove the third sentence from the second paragraph of the Sun section: "The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 25 miles in length." 2. Please add the following claim as the third sentence of the second paragraph of the Sun section: "The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length." 3. Using as the reference: Paramjit Harinath (2019). The Sun. Academic Press. p. 1. 4. Reason for change being made: "The previously given diameter was incorrect. The Harinath source indicates that the diameter is 864,337 miles, a figure which has been confirmed by other references listed in Astronomer's Almanac, Science Quarterly, etc."

• Claims to be added to the article should be kept separate and distinct from claims to be modified.
• All references proposed to be added to the article ought to be formatted using whichever citation style is already in use with the article.
• Kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience when ready to proceed with the verbatim text to be removed, the specific reasons for removal, along with the claims to be added and their reasons. Thank you!

Retrieved 2008-10-03., "History of Kelly Services, Inc. – FundingUniverse". www.fundinguniverse.com. 4. Reason for change being made: "The beginning of the first sentence of the paragraph is redundant — the ‘Kelly Girls’ temporary worker information was already expressed in the fourth sentence of the first paragraph. Adding new first sentence in second paragraph flows a bit more naturally and expresses expansion of the company respective to offices and business model.” History edit request 2 1. Please remove the third sentence from the second paragraph of the “History” section: "In 1966 the company was renamed Kelly Services, Inc. to reflect an expanding range of services." 2.

Using as the reference: "History of Kelly Services, Inc. – FundingUniverse". www.fundinguniverse.com. 4. Reason for change being made: "New second paragraph would mostly refer to the 50s, while this third paragraph would transition into summarising events of the 60s. This new sentence would specify some of the newly offered services with more detail, while expressing the same overall point. Another new sentence prior could lead into this new sentence/new paragraph: The early 1960s reflected a trend of expansion for Kelly in terms of its offices and services.

(formerly Russell Kelly Office Service and Kelly Girl Service, Inc.) is an American office staffing company that operates globally. Kelly provides staffing on a temporary, temp-to-hire, and permanent placement basis, working as a global talent solutions provider in areas including finance, science, engineering, education, office, call center, light industrial, and more. The company also offers an array of professional services, placing employees in various sectors including recruitment, human resource management, vendor management, and outplacement. Kelly Services was founded by William Russell Kelly in 1946, is headquartered in Troy, Michigan. In 2018, the company reported $5.5 billion in revenue, and placed 500,000 employees to work in positions in various sectors, making it one of the world's largest staffing firms. History Founded in 1946 by William Russell Kelly, the company was originally named Russell Kelly Office Service. Services were provided in-house at the Kelly office. However, as customer offices grew and needed more resources, they began to ask for the Kelly employees to perform the work at their own offices. Temporary workers from Russell Kelly Office Service soon became known as ‘Kelly Girls’. Adelaide Hess Moran, the first Kelly temporary employee to work at a customer’s office was promptly dubbed the first ‘Kelly Girl’. By 1955, the business had opened 35 offices across the country. As a result of its new business model, the company changed its name to Kelly Girl Service, Inc.® in 1957. Eventually, ‘Kelly girl’ became the widely used term for a temporary worker, regardless of gender or company affiliation. The early 1960s reflected a trend of expansion for Kelly in terms of its offices and services. By 1966, the company had expanded to include a range of services — namely, an industrial division and technical services division — and was renamed Kelly Services, Inc.® to reflect these changes. Kelly opened its first international office in Ontario in 1968; this marked the beginning of the opening of a number of other offices and branches. After opening its headquarters in Southfield, Michigan in 1969, the company opened its first European offices in Paris and London in 1972 and 1973, respectively. By 1978, Kelly moved to its present-day headquarters’ location in Troy, Michigan. The service offerings of Kelly continued to expand to include healthcare, under its Kelly Health Care division, in 1976. With the introduction of an outsourcing and consulting division, by the end of the 1990s, Kelly had become the largest scientific staffing company, and the only company to employ staff in scientific sectors on a global scale.. This was the result of Kelly creating ‘Kelly Scientific Resources’ in 1995, which specialized in temporary staff for scientific endeavors. Recent History Kelly currently offers services including outsourcing and consulting, and staffing solutions from over 70 years of experience with temporary staffing. Its gradual expansion of services has allowed the business to assist with both the hiring process for employees, and for companies looking for specialized employees. With employees being hired globally in engineering, scientific, and office-based industries, Kelly remains one of the world’s largest staffing firms. As of 2019, the CEO of Kelly is Peter Quigley.

@Spintendo: Hi Spintendo. Thanks very much for reviewing my claims to be modified and adding the ones that were accepted! I really appreciate that. I think I may have misunderstood an element of your initial explanation and wanted to double check -- when saying that claims to be added should be separate from claims to be modified did you mean that they should be brought up in completely separate edit request posts? If so, should I repost my proposed claims to be added in their own separate post? Also, for the edit that was 'unable to be implemented' due to my not specifying where the redundancy is, could I post another edit request solely about that in response to your post here? Or would I need to start a new post made specifically for that individual edit request? Thanks again for all of your help, and for reviewing and adding these edits! MichaelBC1 (talk) 16:06, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Claims to be added and claims to be modified should be kept separate in the same request, like so:

Request example
Edit request Please make the following changes: Claims to be added Claim #1 (Reason & reference) Claim #2 (Reason & reference) Claims to be modified Claim #3 (replace with) Claim #4, etc.

By placing the items under an organized list, every separate item may be dealt with together under one request. Regards,  Spintendo  18:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Adding to the History Section: Kelly Services Edit Request

Hi. On behalf of my employer, Kelly Services, I'm asking for help with the editing of some claims that I'm proposing be added to the Kelly Services wikipedia page (specifically, the History section). This is for the sake of providing the page with more relevant information for various periods of Kelly Services development as a company (e.g., specifying when and how certain services began to be offered between the 1960s and the 1990s). Below is a rendering, markup, and four edit requests for easier viewing!

This was the result of Kelly creating ‘Kelly Scientific Resources’ in 1995, which specialized in temporary staff for scientific endeavors.” 2.
