Four decades of industry innovation. Three generations of family leadership.
One of the most inspiring legacies in American family-owned business.
Doris M. Damm founded ACCU Staffing Services in 1979 after recognizing a market for temporary employment in the early days of downsizing. From a small office in the iconic Cherry Hill Mall, Doris set out to build her company which now spans four decades and encompasses 15 regional offices in South Jersey and the Philadelphia Metro market. The industry powerhouse has also expanded its services over the years to include Planned staffing, Project staffing, Temp-to-Hire staffing, and Direct Placement staffing.
Inspired by their mother’s determination and unconventional business acuity, Doris’ three children – Edward, Elaine, and Bill – joined the company and became key players in its formidable growth and industry’s leadership. Working their way up the ranks, they currently hold executive positions in Finance, Sales & Operations and Corporate Management.
Doris’ husband, Ed, was later enlisted to join the company after leading a successful 32 year career as a national sales executive and influenced the company’s transformation from an emerging South Jersey company into a formidable industry leader. Granddaughter Lisa, sets the cornerstone for the third generation as ACCU paves its way into the future.
With an extended family of dedicated personnel – some of whom have been with the company for decades – ACCU’s culture attests that the grounding of family values within a corporate environment encourages others to succeed.
From the humble but unwavering determination of one woman, ACCU Staffing has emerged as one of the most highly regarded, privately held, family-owned businesses in America.
Founder
Doris M. Damm (1934-2017)
Doris founded the company in 1979 after predicting the cost-effective economics of temporary employment in the late seventies and is credited with being a pioneer in the staffing industry. She started the business out of a small home office where she handled everything from clerical to account services – even filling in for temps who never showed up for work.
Doris was a preeminent expert in the temporary staffing industry, having earned countless awards and acclamations for her role as an innovator and successful businesswoman. She lectured on employment topics throughout the region and served the community as a former board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, and the Rutgers University School of Business.
Co-Founder
Edward J. Damm (1932-2021)
Ed joined ACCU Staffing in 1988 after leading an illustrious career as the National Sales Manager for RCA and later, General Electric. Ed brought 40 years of sales and marketing experience to Accu and was instrumental in building the company’s sales system and state-of-the-art customer service program. For decades, Ed was personally responsible for training every new sales associate, many of whom remain with Accu Staffing to this day.
Ed’s keen observational skills helped navigate the company into new markets and inspired team members to “think outside the box.” His expertise, veracious instincts and passion for forging strong business relationships were instrumental in the company’s rapid growth.
Chief Operating Officer
William E. Damm (1960-2023)
Bill was responsible for the day-to-day management of ACCU’s Vendor-On-Site Program. He joined the company in 1992 and brought with him over 16 years of experience in industrial management from Thomas & Betts where he specialized in international sales and customer service. Intimately aware of the demands and needs of distribution facilities, Bill regularly performed consultations to improve efficiency in those capacities. His hands-on approach was key in supporting the on-site teams so they could effectively meet the expectations of ACCU’s clients.
In addition to his on-site projects, Bill was responsible for upgrading and maintaining the company’s hi-tech infrastructure. His IT background kept ACCU’s internal communication flowing and influenced the company’s technological progression.
