We do things

differently.

Ms. Mary Evins launches Evins Personnel Consultants and opens the first office in the Westgate building, next to the Texas state capitol. One of the oldest family-owned companies in Texas (and one of the very few woman - founded), Evins was created to help women find work.

Our trailblazing Ms. Evins becomes the only woman to chair any state’s Employment Agency Regulatory Board. Plus, she helped develop and implement the first personnel services industry certification program, the Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC). Since then, this prestigious honor has become a hallmark of any high-standard company in the industry (not to toot our own horn too much).

By the early 70s, Evins had opened over ten offices in Texas - mostly franchises owned by retired military service members. The company also launched its healthcare division.

Okay, it was the National Association of Personnel Services’ Hall of Fame, but still. She was recognized for her industry pioneering efforts and her “leadership, innovation, and ability to take risks.” That's our girl.

The company was one of only a few dozen companies to be awarded the Texas Historical Commission 50+ year old family business award.

A new family joins forces with the original team to help bring Ms. Evins’ leadership and innovative approach to helping employees find great careers, and helping employers find top talent to more communities.

Evins is rebranded as Openwork to expand the business beyond its original central Texas roots. Because everyone deserves to find their dream job, the Evins way!
