The office begins operating under the Adecco name today, joining Adecco's other location serving clients in the Albuquerque area. In August 1999, Olsten Corporation announced it had agreed to merge its staffing and information technology services businesses with Adecco, and the transaction was completed on March 15, 2000. The acquisition of Olsten's Albuquerque license office is part of Adecco's continuing campaign to solidify so·lid·i·fy v. so·lid·i·fied, so·lid·i·fy·ing, so·lid·i·fies v.tr. 1.

Margaret Dunwody, Adecco's area manager for the West Texas/New Mexico region, remarked that "For more than 16 years, Olsten has been a respected name in the staffing business in Albuquerque. And Adecco has been delivering quality staffing solutions to our clients for 17 years. In acquiring this office, we take the next step in our growth, and will continue to provide the exceptional services for which both organizations are known." Growth will come from renewed emphasis on recruiting. New Mexico's unemployment rate stood at 4% percent in May. "Low unemployment makes recruiting temporary employees a top priority," said Dunwody. Dunwody remarked that the acquisition of the Olsten license office presents "an opportunity to combine Adecco's vast network and resources with the local market expertise of the former Olsten office, further enhancing customer service." "Adecco's enhanced presence in the area will help attract both potential workers and clients looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.
