Banner Personnel Service

Banner Personnel Service is a staffing and recruitment firm serving employers and job seekers across the Chicagoland area and nationwide. It opened on September 28, 1970, when Jim Singer bought a Chicago employment agency that initially placed fresh college graduates into management trainee positions. His wife, Emel, ran the company after his death until her retirement in 2012, and it now operates under new ownership.

The firm specialises in support professionals, sales and marketing, industrial, medical, and accounting and finance roles. Its specialty areas also include executive search, customer service and call centre, and education. It supplies temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire staff to hundreds of clients in the Chicago metropolitan area. It is certified as a Woman Business Enterprise by the City of Chicago.

Banner has offices in Chicago, Libertyville and Naperville, and says it has been in business for over 50 years.
