Dan Hemphill
- President I understand that a company is only as strong as the players it has on the field. I am passionate about understanding each client's business, culture, and growth objectives, so we can identify the individuals who will ultimately help our clients achieve their goals. Our reputation is “on the line” each time we provide a temporary employee, consultant or a new employee for their team. We take the time to make sure that we have found the "right match" so that each temporary or consultant we send or candidate we place is well positioned for success. Since excellence always endures and remains long after cost is forgotten, our team is squarely focused on delivering quality solutions the first time. Because our Firm is built upon a foundation of strong values, I know that taking the “high road” and “doing the right thing” consistently are the cornerstones to lasting business relationships.
I grew up in Griswold, Iowa, and graduated from
Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa.
During college I was a member of the football
team and Students In Free Enterprise. I remain
an active member of the Institute of Management
Accountants after serving for more than 10 years
on its Board of Directors. I am an active
supporter of FEI (Financial Executives
International) and I am a Charter Member of the
Nebraska chapter of EO (Entrepreneurs
Organization). As a Director of AAFA (American
Association of Finance and Accounting), the
oldest and largest
alliance of executive search firms specializing
in the recruitment and staffing of finance and
accounting professionals, I gain exposure to
national issues and trends. I
am an energetic member of the Alumni Board of
Buena Vista University where I am committed to
giving back to the students and leadership team
of Buena Vista University. I am also an active
member of my church, where I serve on the drama
team. |

Director Chris brings a "can do" attitude, a sense of urgency and a passion to deliver unparalleled service to our clients. Chris has managed and motivated large teams for more than 15 years and understands that the key to success in management is having the right players on the team and having those players in the right position. It’s Chris’s view that “Upbeat employees with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and the skills to get the job done, will jump right in and add value immediately.” Chris is serious about understanding our clients' temporary, temporary-to-hire or consulting needs and identifying individuals who can come in, pick up the ball, and run with it. “When our clients have a temporary, temporary-to-hire or consulting need, they do not have time to worry about individuals who don’t have the skills, attendance or attitude to get it done. We deliver the right person the first time, and when we do that consistently - - our clients begin to rely upon us exclusively”. The partnership we share with our clients is built upon trust and results. Chris earned a Bachelors of Science in Business Management with a minor in Economics from Northwest Missouri State University. After graduation, Chris was recruited into the management development program of Wal-Mart where he accelerated through their retail store management program. After extensive training in recruiting and human resources, Chris was tasked with recruiting and training a team of 300 to 400 staff, supervisors and managers per retail center, while opening two new stores in his last four years. Chris and his wife Amy were ready to get off of the road in 1997, when Chris was hired as General Sales Manager for élan Contemporary Furnishings, a high end retailer. Chris gained valuable experience while developing new sales systems, expanding the sales team, and developing operational systems and processes to meet the high expectations of their customers. These enhancements and the team Chris hired, led to élan’s growth to become one of the largest volume contemporary furniture retailers in the nation. Chris joined Hemphill Staffing Solutions in 2005 and loves the fast-paced environment the staffing industry provides. Chris grew up in Atlantic, Iowa. Chris and his wife Amy live in Treynor, Iowa, where they have a busy household with two active sons, Taylor and Tanner.
