With Inde Hawkins, Treasurer
Tell us about All Seasons Temporaries.
We are a full service temporary employment agency providing short and long-term staffing needs serving Venango, Mercer, Lawrence, Forest, Clarion, Crawford and Jefferson Counties. We match quality employees to the area’s best employment opportunities.
What’s the story behind your business?
Founded in 1992 by Mark Hale; later procured by Kathy Ruffing, who worked and managed the business alongside Mark for 23 years at the time. There was and continues to be a need for temporary employment in all communities served by All Seasons. Temporary employment fulfills large gaps in our industries and we pride ourselves in taking the burden off employers and getting them the right employee for the job quickly.
What is your favorite part of owning a business?
For us, it’s about tradition and carrying on a legacy set forth, first by Mark, and then our mother. Knowing they both took great pride in serving our community makes it easy for us to do the same – for them and for us!
Another favorite would be seeing our staff grow into the well-oiled machine they are. Susan Zinz, Chelsey Flick, and Kala Boal keep things running smoothly and we are so grateful to have them on board.
What do you love most about working in Venango County?
Having the privilege of being housed in the heart of Franklin on Liberty Street is a joy in itself. Embracing our beautiful city in addition to staying deeply connected with employers and employees alike throughout Venango County by ease of access to them and us is the best!
What is one thing about your business that would surprise people?
That there are THREE owners – siblings, Tiffany (Ruffing) Nolf, Inde (Ruffing) Hawkins and Cory Ruffing. When our mother’s health was beginning to fail, the three of us took action to secure the business in order to continue serving the community as she wished.
What steps do you plan to take in the future to improve or further your business?
We have expanded our services to include recruitment of direct hires. We handle the advertising, interviews, screenings, and background checks so our customers don’t have to. There is a one-time fee for this service. Additionally, we continue to get the word out about our services beyond our current partnerships to further our offerings in the counties we serve.
