Employee of the Year

We are proud of our expert employees working at Staffing Solutions. Each year, we honor one of our employees with our prestigious Associate of the Year designation. SSOH’s staffing team looks for someone who has displayed ongoing, outstanding Attitude, Dedication, Responsibility, and Growth.


2011 Employee of the Year, Edward Paz
Edward Paz has been an outstanding Staffing Solutions of Hawaii employee since September 2010. Ed quickly stood out as a person having exceptional work values and ethics throughout completing numerous temporary assignments and getting positive performance feedback from all of his managers. His easy going personality and determination to excel in any given assignment proved he was more than an average job seeker; he was looking to make a difference within our clients’ companies. As a financial accounting specialists, Edward’s background includes over 15 years of experience working with accounting, audit, project management, financial reporting and security. His experience has provided him with a skill set for sound supervisory, information technology and project management skills.

In October 2011, Ed was offered a permanent position as a Systems Administrator at a major healthcare organization. He received excellent client performance evaluations including productivity, attitude and ability to learn new tasks. His long standing record for reliability and dependable attendance combined with his dedication to see tasks completed are true testaments to why Edward has been chosen as Staffing Solutions of Hawaii’s 2011 Employee of the Year.

Edward's comments about SSOH:
"I began working for SSOH in September 2010 on a temporary accounting assignment for a major healthcare organization. From the first day I met the staff my experience has been the most positive, rewarding experience I have every encountered with any professional staffing or recruiting firm nationwide. The single most impressive quality that I will always remember about the staff of SSOH is their commitment to integrity. Simply stated, they have always done what they say they are going to do. When they committed to get back to me, they always followed through on their commitments. I quickly learned I could count on each and every member of the staff to provide a consistent level of high-quality service, which I still find refreshing.

I feel very fortunate, since joining SSOH, to have been consistently employed with quality organizations. I recently achieved my goal of obtaining a permanent job utilizing both my information technology and financial accounting skills. However, I know being consistently employed and achieving my goals are a direct result of the dedicated, positive-minded staff of SSOH who believed in me and aggressively pursued opportunities that were a great fit for my skill set. I honestly believe you will not find a more effective organization to assist you in your job search. I will continue to recommend SSOH over any other professional staffing firm to anyone I meet in the job market. I wish all my Ohana members working for SSOH best wishes in their careers."

Questions? Ask a SSOH Recruiter

What makes an impressive resume?

Less is more! When putting together your resume this motto is very important. A resume that is detailed and to the point will get more positive attention that one with pictures and fancy borders. For each position listed on your resume be sure to include 3-4 bullet points that highlight your duties in that role. Hiring managers compare what you have done in the past with the position they are recruiting for.

Questions? Ask a SSOH Recruiter

What are 3 keys factors to landing an interview?
Three keys to landing an interview are to ensure that you have a well-polished resume detailing not only your duties but also accomplishments, an “attention” grabbing cover letter, and follow up after the resume has been submitted.  Follow up is key as it shows that you are really interested in their job opening and not just submitting your resume to any position.
