                                 AMENDMENT NO. 8
                                       to
                                  SCHEDULE 13D


         This  Amendment  No. 8 is being  filed to amend Items 2, 5 and 6 of the
Statement  on Schedule  13D,  dated  January 26,  1994,  filed by the  Reporting
Persons with respect to the Common Stock, no par value, of Personnel Management,
Inc.,  as amended and  restated by  Amendment  No. 5 thereto  dated May 16, 1996
(Item 5 was  subsequently  amended by Amendment No. 6 thereto dated December 21,
1996, and Amendment No. 7 thereto dated July 23, 1997).  This Amendment No. 8 is
being  filed to report a change in the  persons on whose  behalf  this filing is
being made as described more fully in Item 2 below and the expiration of certain
restrictions  of sales  imposed by a  Stockholders  Agreement as described  more
fully in Item 6 below.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         This  Statement is filed on behalf of a group  consisting of certain of
the parties to a Stockholders  Agreement dated November 19, 1993,  namely Don R.
Taylor and  Carolyn S.  Taylor  (the  "Group").  Mr.  Taylor is Chief  Executive
Officer and a Director of the Issuer,  and his  business  address is the address
reported in Item 1 which is  incorporated  herein by  reference.  Ms.  Taylor is
employed  with Century 21 at the  Crossing,  Suite 100,  9265  Counselor's  Row,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46240.

         Elizabeth  McFarland,  formerly  Vice  President  of  Operations  and a
Director of the Issuer, has been included in previous filings as a member of the
Group.  Although she continues to beneficially own securities of the Issuer, Mr.
Taylor agreed on February 28, 1998, not to enforce the voting  provisions of the
Stockholders  Agreement  with respect to  securities  beneficially  owned by Ms.
McFarland  for  the  remainder  of  the  term  of  the  Stockholders  Agreement.
Therefore,  Ms.  McFarland is no longer a member of the Group and she  disclaims
any filing  obligations  under Section 13(d) of the  Securities  Act of 1934, as
amended,  and  Regulation  13D-G  promulgated  thereunder,  with  respect to her
holdings of the Issuer's securities. (Another former officer, James E. Burnette,
disposed of all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by him and, therefore, is
no longer a party to the Stockholders Agreement.)

         In addition to  constituting  a filing by the Group,  this Statement is
filed  on  behalf  of  (a)  Mr.  Taylor,  individually;   and  (b)  Ms.  Taylor,
individually,  each of whom beneficially owned separately more than five percent
of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock as of the date of this Amendment No. 8.

     At times herein,  the members of the Group are referred to  collectively as
the "Reporting Persons."

         Each of the  Reporting  Persons is a citizen  of the  United  States of
America.

         During the last five  years,  none of the  Reporting  Persons  has been
convicted in any criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors)  or has  been a  party  to a civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or
administrative  body of competent  jurisdiction and as a result of such <PAGE> 5
proceeding  is or was  subject to a judgment,  decree or final  order  enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a)(b) The  beneficial  ownership  of the  Issuer's  Common Stock as of
January 31,  1998,  of each of the  Reporting  Persons is set forth in the table
below.  Each of the Reporting Persons has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the shares  indicated in the table below,  except as indicated in the
footnotes.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
        SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Issuer and the Reporting  Persons (who owned  substantially  all of
the Common Stock  outstanding  immediately  prior to the Issuer's initial public
offering ("IPO")) entered into a Stockholders  Agreement dated November 19, 1993
(the  "Stockholders  Agreement").  (As reported in previous  amendments  to this
Schedule  13D, a former  executive  officer of the  Issuer who  disposed  of all
Issuer  Common  Shares  beneficially  owned by him and certain  other former and
current  employees  of the  Issuer  are no longer  parties  to the  Stockholders
Agreement.)  The  Stockholders  Agreement  contains  certain  restrictions  with
respect to the  transferability  of Common  Stock by the  parties,  registration
rights  granted  by the  Issuer  with  respect  to  certain  shares,  and voting
arrangements.

<PAGE>

     Pursuant  to the terms of the  Stockholders  Agreement,  holders  of Common
Stock  who are  subject  to the  Stockholders  Agreement  (a  "Holder")  may not
transfer Common Stock  beneficially owned by such Holder unless such transfer is
(i) to certain permitted transferees (related persons or affiliated entities) of
such  Holder,  (ii)  pursuant  to a public  offering  approved  by the  Board of
Directors of the Issuer or  otherwise  required by the  Stockholders  Agreement,
(iii) by Ms. Taylor (or her permitted transferees)  subsequent to her (or their)
death or  disability  or  pursuant  to the  Warrant  granted to Noyes  under the
Underwriting Agreement, (iv) by a "Management Investor" (i.e., Mr. Taylor) or an
"Other  Investor"  (i.e., a Holder who is an employee of the Issuer or a related
person or affiliated entity, but, as previously reported, no such persons remain
parties  to the  Stockholders  Agreement)  or his  or her  permitted  transferee
subsequent to his or her death or termination of employment for certain reasons,
(v) by a Management  Investor,  Other Investor or Ms. Taylor or their  permitted
transferees  pursuant to Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act, (vi) to a pension,
profit sharing or stock bonus plan  (including an employee stock ownership plan)
sponsored or contributed to by the Issuer, or (vii) to any person that the Board
of Directors,  by unanimous vote, approves.  Certain of these transfers may only
be made if the  transferees  agree  to  subject  the  acquired  shares  to these
transfer restrictions.

         The  Issuer is  required  by the  Stockholders  Agreement  (subject  to
certain  limitations)  to register the Holders'  Common Stock for sale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") in connection  with certain other
registrations by the Issuer of Common Stock (so-called  "piggyback  registration
rights").  The Stockholders  Agreement  contains  customary terms and provisions
with respect to, among other things, registration procedures and indemnification
in connection  with the  registration  and sale of Common Stock  pursuant to the
Stockholders  Agreement.  These registration  rights terminate April 1, 1999, or
earlier in the event that Ms. Taylor and her permitted  transferees cease to own
at least 10 percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer prior to April
1, 1999.

         The  Stockholders  Agreement  also contains an agreement of the Holders
with respect to the  composition  of the Board of  Directors of the Issuer.  The
Stockholders  Agreement  provides that the Management  Investors  (acting by the
vote of a majority  of the shares  then held by the  Management  Investors)  may
designate a slate of  nominees  in  connection  with any  election of  Directors
(which  may or may not be  identical  to the  slate  nominated  by the  Board of
Directors)  and requires that each Holder vote his or her shares of Common Stock
and use such  Holder's  best  efforts to take all actions  necessary  (including
action as a Director of the Issuer  subject to fiduciary  duties) to  effectuate
the election of the slate of nominees  designated by the  Management  Investors.
Because  Mr.  Taylor  holds a  majority  of the  shares  held by the  Management
Investors  and is likely to continue to do so for the  foreseeable  future,  and
because the Holders  presently  have sole voting  power over  approximately  43%
percent of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, Mr. Taylor will likely control
the composition of the Board of Directors for the foreseeable future.

         Subject to certain  exceptions,  Ms.  Taylor has also agreed not to (i)
sell  shares of Common  Stock to any person or group of persons  who has filed a
statement  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  reporting  beneficial
ownership of more than five percent of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, or
(ii) sell to any person or affiliated group shares  representing  more than five
percent of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         The Stockholders  Agreement  terminates on April 1, 1999, or earlier in
the event Ms.  Taylor and her  permitted  transferees  cease to own at least ten
percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

<PAGE>
         Ms. Taylor granted to David A. Noyes & Company, the lead underwriter of
the IPO,  warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,334 of her shares (as adjusted
for  a  subsequent   stock   dividend)  of  common  stock  of  the  Issuer  (the
"Representative's  Warrants") which are exercisable through January 26, 1999, at
an  adjusted  exercise  price  equal to $9.27 per  share.  The  Representative's
Warrants provide for adjustment of the exercise price and the number and type of
securities  issuable  upon  exercise  if certain  events  occur,  including  the
issuance of any Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable
for Common Stock, or if any recapitalization,  reclassification, stock dividend,
stock   split,   stock   combination   or  similar   transaction   occurs.   The
Representative's  Warrants  provide  for  certain  registration  rights  for the
securities issuable upon the exercise of the Representative's Warrants.

         In  connection  with the IPO,  Mr.  Taylor  agreed  that he would  not,
without the prior  written  consent of the  Representatives,  sell or  otherwise
dispose of any of his shares of Common Stock prior to February 2, 1995 (one year
following  the closing of the  offering)  and agreed to sell no more than 10% of
his shares in each of the second through fourth years  subsequent to the closing
of the  offering.  Ms.  Taylor also agreed  with the  underwriters  not to sell,
without the prior written consent of the  Representatives,  any of her shares of
Common Stock,  other than pursuant to the  over-allotment  option,  for one year
following the closing of the offering and agreed to sell no more than 10% of her
shares in each of the following  second through  fourth years  subsequent to the
closing of the offering, except for shares sold pursuant to the Representative's
Warrants.

         In  addition  to  reporting  the  change  in the  members  of the Group
discussed  in Item 2 above,  this  Amendment  No. 8 is being filed to report the
expiration on February 2, 1998, of the  restrictions  on sales by Mr. Taylor and
Ms. Taylor described in the preceding  paragraph.  Ms. Taylor remains subject to
the provision of the Stockholders Agreement (described above) that prohibits her
from  selling,  except with the prior  approval  of a majority  of the  Issuer's
Board,  shares  representing  five  percent or more of the  Issuer's  issued and
outstanding shares to any person or group prior to the earlier of April 1, 1999,
or the date on which she beneficially  owns less than 10 percent of the Issuer's
Common Share.

         Ms.  Taylor has sold in recent  years,  and may  continue to sell,  the
maximum number of shares  permissible  under applicable  volume  restrictions if
such sales can be made on suitable  terms.  The  expiration of the  restrictions
described  above will permit Ms.  Taylor to sell under Rule 144 a  substantially
greater  number of shares than she was permitted to sell prior to the expiration
of such restrictions.
