From Staffing & Placement Firm ... To Industry & Business Consulting Firm

In 1993 Fran Goldstein. She had a simple business plan, a solid vision, creative energy, a sincere passion for her work, and was a one-woman operation. Over time she grew the business exponentially, increasing sales over 25 percent annually. GSC quickly became greater Boston’s premier staffing and placement firm for administrative support.

Fran’s ability to successfully guide and grow GSC during challenging economic cycles did not go unnoticed. She soon started receiving calls from industry leaders and colleagues seeking her advice for their businesses, as well as conduct training and motivational sessions with their sales staff and recruiters. It was from these calls that Fran saw a need to incorporate new service elements into GSC’s business model, and begin working with today’s business leaders and entrepreneurs -- the drivers behind the economy’s up-tick.

Today, using the same vision, energy and passion, Fran has expanded GSC’s services to include informational Speaking & Training platforms and Entrepreneurial Leadership services while continuing to provide Professional Placement.
