About Us

About Us

Connecting Top Talent With Exceptional Companies Since 1963

Certified Employment Group started in San Francisco in 1963. Our cornerstone mission was, and remains, to provide ethical, caring service to each of our clients and employees. These values mean using technology to create efficiencies for our clients, expand our service offerings and enhance the level of service we can provide.

As Northern California businesses have prospered, Certified has responded by opening branches to serve high-growth areas. We have expanded our services to include on-site management for major accounts, introduced a streamlined online platform, and opened specialized divisions in Creative and Nonprofit.

Certified remains independently owned, responsive, flexible and wholly committed to our original values. We believe this is the reason for our success. Industry rankings consistently place Certified in the top quartile!

A Message from Our President

 

For an organization to succeed for 60 years, its key players must be committed; be it the owners, management, or the internal team members. In staffing, our clients constantly evolve and Certified is committed to responding to their changing needs. The only constant is change — job requirements, new laws, new software, research, and new social norms. By far, most positions we fill today didn’t exist 60 years ago — but we are proud to fill them today!

Thank you to all our clients and field staff, past, present, and future.

Jeff Eggert, President
