Stock Trading and Other Things

If you were to start a temporary staffing agency, what niche field would it be in?

I'm interested in starting a staffing company and would like to fill a niche in a market for employment. Everyone does finance or administrative. What is one that you haven't seen or don't see enough of? If you're unemployed and in a niche market, what is it?

1. Going into tax season, I'd do tax preparers. I'd find a way to tier my workers (CPA's on top, EA's in the middle, and experienced non-certifieds at the bottom). I'd also group them by experience (either individual, payroll or business depending on what they've done).

Everyone needs their taxes done, so you have a good chance at high volume for 4 months to get you going.

2. A less glamorous but very profitable an easy niche is labor. Laborers are easy to find and many employers have constant needs for laborers for short-term projects.

I would build the business on the fact that I have experienced people with their own equipment to handle all your labor needs. Forklift Operators, Class A drivers; Equipment Operators; Janitors; Hazardous Waste Clean Up Crews. Tree Trimmers.

I would contract with actual business and act as a sub-contractor for them.
