SIA Recognises ‘Best Staffing Firms to Work For’ UK & Ireland

Top Firms Celebrated During Annual Executive Forum 

Mountain View, California & London, UK — 02 December 2020 — Winners of the 2020 Best Staffing Firms to Work For UK & Ireland awards were announced today by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions. The winners are being recognised at SIA’s 7th annual Executive Forum Europe, taking place 1-2 December as a virtual event. The 2020 Best Staffing Firms to Work For UK & Ireland awards are sponsored by Pixid.

The winners comprise those companies who scored in the top quartile in each of the contest categories, and the Grand Prize Winners reflect the highest scoring organizations. Outsource UK Limited, a supplier of highly-skilled technology, change and engineering talent to clients within a range of specialist sectors, took the leading spot for UK firms with over 50 employees. i-Pharm Consulting, a firm specialised in Life Sciences staffing, ranked highest for firms up to 50 employees. Sigmar Recruitment, servicing a range of staffing sectors, was the winning firm from Ireland. 

“In unprecedented times, this year’s Best Staffing Firms to Work For are leading the way with their genuine commitment to employee engagement, culture and values. As organisations weather the impact of a global pandemic, those who are partnering closely with their internal workforces are well-positioned to leverage the strengths of their talent and move into the future as resilient, competitive companies”, said Barry Asin, SIA President. “Congratulations to the winners on their top performances and this important recognition”.

The Best Staffing Firms to Work For program is conducted by SIA in conjunction with Quantum Workplace, a Nebraska-based company. Internal employees at each firm were asked to complete an online survey that measured key engagement categories, focusing on items including teamwork, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, manager effectiveness, compensation and benefits. Some of the findings from the survey are covered in SIA’s research content, including in SIA’s interactive Internal Compensation Estimator Tool.  

“It is a real honour to be sponsoring SIA’s Best Staffing Firms to Work For UK & Ireland awards. At Pixid, we know how important it is to have staff that feel appreciated and valued for the important role they play. This occasion is a great opportunity to celebrate those UK & Ireland staffing companies that have excelled in achieving a high level of staff wellbeing and team morale, so vital in boosting their resilience and achievements, especially during this challenging time for the recruitment industry”, said Mark Kieve, CEO of Pixid UK & Ireland.

In order to gather statistically sound results, participating companies must have reached a minimum level of employee participation, based on their total number of employees. Companies were ranked in each size category according to their overall score. Winners were chosen based entirely on the survey results. There is no fee for participation and companies completing the survey receive a report highlighting their firm’s results.
