Peter Laughter
Peter Laughter, CEO of Wall Street Services has been instrumental in the growth and development of the firm. He oversaw a major expansion of business in the mid 90s and has put in place technology and other infrastructure for continued expansion.

He has both selected and designed innovative software that allows for the effective management of critical business issues for temporary staffing. His training in sociology/anthropology spawned an interest in corporate cultures, their variations and the importance they play in employee success. The ability to distinguish cultures has been a hallmark of Wall Street Services' ability to effectively staff very diverse financial service firms. The press frequently interviews Mr. Laughter for his opinions on trends in temporary staffing and his unique perspective about the direction the sector is taking.

Mr. Laughter has been selected to participate in a number of leadership training programs such as MIT's Birthing of Giants—an advanced training for successful entrepreneurs. He is active with YEO (Young Entrepreneurs Organization) and participates in the planning of educational seminars for that organization.

A graduate of Earlham College, Mr. Laughter is active on a number of boards and committees and is interested in sailing and politics.

Susan Laughter
Susan Laughter founded Wall Street Services in 1983 after observing that many staffing services paid insufficient attention to service and quality to adequately support the financial community. Her concept was to be a niche participant in an already over-crowded industry and to develop a reputation for excellence in supporting high profile investment banks and law firms.

Having worked for an institutional investment firm in Wall Street, Ms. Laughter understood the qualifications necessary to be exceptional. This led to the development of innovative tools for screening that would allow the firm to establish a consistent standard of excellence. Seeing the importance of round-the-clock staffing capability, the firm became one of the first to provide 24/7 services. Another development that responded directly to client needs was the opening of the Skills Acceleration Institute in 1987. By offering training to both clients and its own employees, Wall Street Services was able to fulfill its commitment to enhancing productivity in the work place.

In addition to her work in the financial services sector, Ms. Laughter has worked in publishing and public relations. She also spent two years working in East Harlem counseling adolescents on career related issues.

Ms. Laughter is a graduate of Hunter College and has a Master's degree from New York University. She is an avid reader and is fascinated by politics.

“I have been to plenty of agencies before but my first impression of this place was professional and very respectful. The staff and their beautiful office just conveyed a high sense of security.. After just 2 days of waiting, I was placed at a great company, making a really good rate. Then I was transitioned into another job with a major investment bank, which I have just recently became a full time employee with. The staff is extremely supportive and helpful.. Offering a full list of benefits for the temporary employee like transitcheks and medical coverage.” Will R., Administrative Assistant

“Wall Street Services is by far the best staffing agency I have ever worked with. The professionalism is unparalleled and the staff is extremely courteous and very diligent in their approach to finding the right match for employer and employee. The turnaround time is very quick as I was interviewing shortly after my resume was submitted... It truly was a wonderful experience to work with Wall Street Services.” Wais A., Financial Services Specialist

“If you are looking to enter the workplace after a long hiatus or to advance to a higher level job in Corporate America. I have worked with other agencies in the city and none have been as professional and respectful. The staff and their beautiful office just conveyed a high sense of integrity and professionalism.” Susan H., Executive Assistant

“Wall Street Services helped me find a challenging position with one of the most elite companies in both New York and the world. The entire interview to hire process took only three weeks. They remained in constant contact and served as a very professional liaison between both myself and the organization.” Corey H., HR analyst

“I'm an actor/singer, new to the city, and was referred to Wall Street Services through a friend.. I have nothing but raves about this incredible team who works hard to find me work.never before have I seen so many professional and unique qualities in one staffing firm. Not only are they artist friendly and willing to work around crazy audition schedules without raising an eyebrow, but they find you work at the best financial and legal firms in the city. Are your skills rusty? They have free tutorials. Feeling nervous about the interview for your dream job? They will prep you right before you go! Don't be surprised if they show up at your current assignment with a holiday gift. Wall Street Services is in my corner.” Heather M., actress/administrative assistant

“On 9/11 I was temping for Wall Street Services down in the financial district.. The staff was incredible during the weeks and months following the attacks. Because their office was essentially in a no-go area, they set up shop in a cafe in the Village where we could come by to pick up our checks. Everyone was very kind, and wanted to make sure that I was doing okay. I had only been working for them for about six weeks. Wall Street Services is simply the best agency in New York. What really makes them stand out for me though, are the staff appreciation events they hold.. If you're smart and not afraid of challenging assignments, you can't go wrong with Wall Street Services.” Inez T., executive assistant
