FASTTEK GLOBAL

Our History

Our story began with a blank whiteboard & a passion……

To be different and act different.  We filled the whiteboard with a VISION of a company that when you hear the name you smile.  Here is what we wrote on the whiteboard!

DO's: be FAST, be FLEXIBLE, be CREATIVE & be HONEST. 

DON'T's: be shortsighted, be only profit-driven, be too smart for our bridges' & be untrustworthy. 

Flash forward 17 years and we are adding Be KIND to our core principles. 

Back to the beginning. After we established the right way to operate, we opened a Fast Switch division in Michigan.  Along with the success in Michigan, Fast Switch successfully grew in nearly half of the states in the U.S. nearing $100 million in sales over a 16-year period. 

Our pride points along the way included: 

Top Notch Reputation · Best of Class Recruiting Capabilities · Flexible “Client Driven” Services · Community Active and Oriented · Highly Diverse Team 

Along the journey our team has earned their stripes.  We have laughed, celebrated and cried together.  As one we stand taller and are stronger!  We only look in the rear-view mirror to gain insight and to grow from our mistakes.  We are proud to be preferred staffing and consulting partners to multiple Fortune top 10 companies and numerous Fortune 100.
