WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PoliTemps, the nation's premier non-partisan political staffing agency, today announced that it had passed one million hours in staff time since its founding in 1998.

"We are incredibly proud to reach the one million hours mark, but billing hours is not what PoliTemps is really about," said Chris Jones, Founder and President of PoliTemps. "It's really about the people. It's about the people we connect with job opportunities and it's about providing our clients with the best possible service."

PoliTemps is a legislative, government, and political staffing company that provides organizations with top-quality, professional personnel who are politically astute in addition to possessing outstanding communications, administrative, and computer skills. PoliTemps caters to political job seekers and organizations seeking political professionals in the public affairs, public relations, media and non-profit arenas.

PoliTemps President Chris Jones is quick to note that out of setbacks come triumphs in life, and his business is proof of that. Years ago, Jones found himself on the losing end of a political battle and unemployed as a result. He had been a campaign staffer for well-known Governor Ann Richards in Austin, Texas, who lost her re-election bid to George W. Bush. But Jones wouldn't be defeated. He reflected on the experience, licked his wounds, came to Washington and founded PoliTemps.

"I learned that there was a need for an agency for people like me who wanted to find jobs in the D.C. political sphere," said Jones. "I never imagined that almost two decades later we would have delivered a million hours of outstanding work to our clients and placed 400 talented, ambitious professionals in permanent jobs. That is the aspect that's been most rewarding."

Now, with PoliTemps marking its 14-year anniversary, Jones finds himself positioned to benefit from wins or losses on either side of the political aisle. Having weathered numerous campaign cycles, September 11^th, the boom and bust of the dot.com era, a recession which hammered many small businesses and a divided government, Jones has built PoliTemps into a company focused on delivering value to clients and job candidates no matter which party is in control.
