Focus People
People Focused Staffing Focus People began as the brainchild of Amy Shockley in 1994. Our staff members are experts with deep industry experience.
She grew up in the staffing business and worked in her father’s staffing firm, bringing her years of expertise and experience into Focus. Alongside her husband, Amy still runs the company to this day, with their leadership setting the vision and direction of our growth. So, we’ve formed unique teams that cater to the clients and candidates in every area we serve. They know the language of the field, understand the challenges of the people, and are experts in making the right match between talent and opportunity.

Some of the best recognition comes directly from the people who see your work making a difference every day.
For National Staffing Employee Week, we’re proud to celebrate Pat Whitfield, who has earned tremendous praise for the reliability, accuracy, and work ethic she brings to her assignment. From the beginning, Pat has taken initiative and quickly adapted to a major system conversion while maintaining a high level of accuracy in her accounting work. Her ability to learn quickly, stay dependable, and consistently deliver quality work has made her a trusted part of the team.
Hearing a client say they have been “bragging on Pat since she started” is the kind of feedback that makes our team at Focus People incredibly proud. It reflects the difference a great associate can make when their skills, attitude, and commitment come together in the right opportunity.
Pat, thank you for the outstanding way you represent Focus People and for the difference you continue to make! 👏

National Staffing Employee Week gives us the opportunity to recognize associates like Shannon Powell, whose impact has been felt from the moment she stepped into her assignment.
Shannon came in ready to contribute, quickly learning her team, understanding its strengths, and keeping the organization’s larger mission at the center of her work. Her leadership has helped refine processes, strengthen communication across departments, and identify opportunities to operate more efficiently. Just as importantly, she has earned recognition for the professionalism and initiative she brings to that responsibility every day.
At Focus People, this is what meaningful talent alignment looks like. Finding someone whose experience and approach allow them to make a real contribution to the team around them. Shannon continues to grow in her role, and we’re proud to see the value she is already creating.
During National Staffing Employee Week, we celebrate Shannon and thank her for representing Focus People with such dedication!

Great teams need time to connect outside of the work they do together every day.
Last week, the Focus People team traded the office for Good Game at The Battery Atlanta, where a little friendly competition brought everyone together for golf simulators, zombie dodgeball, baseball, hockey, football challenges, and plenty of laughs along the way! ⛳⚾🏒
These moments matter to us because the relationships behind Focus People are a big part of what makes our culture special. Taking time to connect, have fun, and enjoy each other’s company strengthens the sense of connection we bring back to our work, our valued clients, and talented candidates.
