Kelly Services, Incorporation is one of the largest temporary help services providing organizations in United States of America. It was established in 1946 in Detroit, Michigan and had remained under the family management, with William Russell Kelly as Chief Executive Officer. The company emphasized on clerical and secretarial services, but also offering some other services like: Marketing, Light Industrial, Technical, Nursing and Home Health Care, Temporary Staffing Services, and Full-Time Placement. William Russell Kelly founded Russell Kelly Office Service in 1946, initially providing office services performed at Kelly 's offices, rather than providing temporary staffing at the client 's location. However, customers asked for the work to be performed at their locations, and the temporary staffing concept was born out of responding to this type of request. It was in 1946 that the first 'Kelly Girls ' came into scope and the first 'Kelly Girl ' was Adelaide Hess Moran who was able to demonstrate that this new working sphere for women could be one to enjoy.
