SYRACUSE — AP Professionals, a Rochester–based staffing firm, has opened a Central New York office.
The firm specializes in placing accounting, finance, human resources, and administrative professionals on both a direct hire and contract basis.
AP Professionals has named Kimberly Parker the director of its new office at 220 Salina Meadows Parkway in the town of Salina, just north of Syracuse.
Parker brings to the position more than 25 years of management experience in Fortune 500 companies and community-based organizations, AP Professionals said in a news release. She has worked in professional staffing in both Central New York and in Boston.

Joseph Kreuz founded AP Professionals in Buffalo in 1993.
Mark Pautler then opened AP’s Rochester office in 1996. A few years later, Jerry Tenenbaum, a Syracuse native, moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. and opened AP’s third office in 1998.
“The AP team looks forward to continuing the tradition of building strong relationships with clients and candidates in Syracuse and Central New York,” Pautler, the firm’s managing partner, said in the news release.
Since its inception, AP Professionals has placed more than 7,200 candidates through its offices in Rochester and Buffalo, the firm said.
