ExactHire has developed an exciting new process for hiring that focuses on JobFit and the gaining of additional knowledge of candidates before they are hired. This process improves the quality of an organization’s new hires, saves time and increases profitability. It truly is a next practice in the hiring space. Previously, Harlan was the Founder and President of Professional Staff Management from 1991-2006 and the COO of Fortune Diversified Industries, a public company from 2003-2006. He has over 33 years of Human Resource and Business Management experience with 15+ years of experience in the PEO industry. Mr. Schafir received an Accounting degree with honors from the University of South Florida in 1974, working first for Arthur Andersen & Co. in Tampa, Florida. In 1980, he accepted a position with Cooper Industries in Houston, Texas and in 1984 he was transferred from Cooper's corporate office to Belden Electronic Wire & Cable in Indiana.

Ultimately, he was responsible for running a significant part of Belden's manufacturing operations. His units were considered some of the most profitable and productive in the company.
In 1991, Mr. Schafir founded Professional Staff Management, one of the first PEOs in the state of Indiana. Under his leadership, Professional Staff Management experienced double-digit annual growth with offices in Richmond and Indianapolis, Indiana and was eventually sold to Fortune Diversified Industries.
Harlan guided Professional Staff Management with the philosophy that serving and protecting the interests of clients is the most important undertaking for the company. To that end, he assembled a team of individuals to deliver the most complete PEO and HR services in the Indiana marketplace. Following this philosophy helped Professional Staff Management achieve annual client retention rates consistently above 90%.

About ExactHire — "I am excited about what we are doing at ExactHire. We are the only organization we have seen in this segment of the market that not only speeds up the hiring process but actually changes it for the better. Our clients get more information on a candidate than they ever have before and they get it much sooner in the process. This improves who is hired. All of us have experienced the impact a certain GREAT employee has on our company. We now can give our clients a method to do that with greater consistency and predictability. That excites me. I do feel that the great difference between companies is most often the people component. The companies with the best people who fit in their job and into the culture of the company will win the competitive war. We want to help companies do just that."

Mr. Hallam has over 19 years of experience in the human resources and insurance industries. After graduating Cum Laude from Butler University with a degree in Business Administration, Jeff began his career with Automatic Data Processing (ADP), the world’s largest provider of payroll and tax filing outsourcing services. His initial experiences were focused in the Implementation and Client Service departments, before moving on to the Sales arena. While in sales, he was promoted 4 times in 6 years; ultimately to the position of Sales Manager, where he was responsible for the hiring, training and performance of 10 Sales Representatives in Indianapolis and central Illinois. During his tenure at ADP, Jeff qualified for the prestigious President’s Club four consecutive years and led his sales teams to 40% increases in sales volume.
After leaving ADP, Mr. Hallam entered the PEO profession by joining an Indianapolis-based PEO. While at that firm, he was instrumental in growing company revenues over 35% in just over one year. He also worked closely with the owner to complete a merger with a large, national PEO in the spring of 1997.
From June 1997 thru May of 2001, Jeff was employed with Professional Staff Management, having involvement in both the sales and operations sides of the business. He played an active role in the selection and implementation of a new, enterprise-wide computer hardware/software system, the design and rollout of the company’s website, and the development of marketing programs and sales methodology. In that time, he developed a sales force of five and led the company to revenue growth of over 350%.
In May of 2001, Mr. Hallam and a partner founded an independent insurance agency specializing in Long-Term Care planning for both executives and individuals. The firm grew to be recognized as the one of the top producing agencies for their field in the Midwest. Jeff and his partner merged the firm into a large Property Casualty / Health agency in late 2006. After completing the merger, Mr. Hallam joined ExactHire as a partner.
Jeff resides in Fishers, IN with his wife, Barb, and their four children.
