PC games and software company Stardock has created a staffing company in effort to offer its employees a work environment with some actual long-term stability.

The firm told Gamasutra its SSC (Stardock Staffing Company) has been formed to shift the greatest of assets, people, around when necessary – thus largely avoiding the round of layoffs that typically occur after the completion of a product.

Along with its internal slate, the company is also invested as a publisher for Mohawk Games and Oxide Games. It will look to work within this network to lease” employees without the individual having to relocate.
