Wirts - Owner & General Manager
Tom Wirts owns the Express Employment office in Charleston, West Virginia.
His goal was, and continues to be, to create the best staffing service in West
Virginia. Tom graduated from the University of Dayton with a bachelor’s degree
in Management and then continued his education at The Fisher College of
Business at The Ohio State University where he earned an MBA in Human Resources
and Consulting. He is certified as a Certified Staffing Professional (CSP), and
a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). Tom was also the founding President of the WV
Chapter of the American Staffing Association.
Tom supports the local community in a variety of ways. The Express office is proud to support the
Fund for the Arts, the West Virginia Symphony, the United Way of Central West
Virginia, the Kanawha Charleston Humane Association, the Charleston Sternwheel
Regatta, and the Thomas Health Foundation.
The Express office has also sponsored many events through both the South
Charleston Chamber of Commerce as well as the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. For many years, Express has provided a world-class
leadership seminar for business leaders throughout the Charleston area. Express also participates in food drives for
Union Mission and continually raises funds for Children’s Miracle Network.
Tom’s Express office has been recognized as a Circle of
Excellence office for the last eighteen years, including achieving multiple
Bronze, Silver, and Gold-level Circle awards and has twice been selected for
the ‘Board of Directors’ award. Tom
believes the office’s success is attributable to the Team that works in his
office. Combined, they have over 100
years of experience putting people to work. Since opening in 1999, Express has
placed over 14,000 people in jobs. “I truly enjoy working in my hometown of
Charleston – it has been a privilege to be part of an organization that helps
good people find jobs, as well as helps good companies find qualified
employees.”
