Longstanding West Michigan Company Expands With New Name & Brand
Fettig, formerly known as AmeriTemp Staffing diversifies services
to meet customer demand

Grand Rapids, Mich. —West Michigan’s premier staffing company, Ameritemp Staffing has rejuvenated and re-launched its brand and corporate identity to be in line with the organization’s new growth and diversification strategy, offering expanded services in Office, Direct Hire, Light Industrial and Skilled Manufacturing staffing.  The company’s new name is Fettig with the tagline ‘When the right person matters.’

“Once we expanded our business, it was clear we had outgrown our name. We needed a name that represented our staff, culture and the fact that we are a family-owned business…something we value very much,” said Kim Fettig, company founder.  “With anticipated growth between 30 to 50% for the coming year, we knew this was the time to make the change and announce to the community in which we live, work and play.”

The growth, diversification and rebrand have allowed Fettig to add talent to their team to serve clients in other disciplines with quality candidates. The company has doubled employment and revenues in the past 5 years.

“Our focus is on people. We believe you have to have the right people on the bus and in the right seats. The right culture will keep them there and allow them to thrive. We have a fantastic culture,” said Mike Fettig, vice president of operations. “Our success isn’t found in matching a resume with a job description. It’s the ability to identify good chemistry between the individual and the rest of the organization. That is a skill that takes time and experience to develop and we excel at it.”

The company will celebrate their rebrand, diversification and expansion with a community open house on October 16th, from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m. at their recently expanded office space at 6151 28th Street SE Ste 9, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energy™. 

You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. 

The Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. 

If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. 

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. 

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
