Nomination Processes and Deadlines
SIA’s editorial lists, featured online and in the print and digital editions of Staffing Industry Review magazine and CWS 3.0 newsletter, recognize and honor leaders across the ecosystem for their achievements and contributions to the world of work. Nominations are accepted from the industry, from industry observers and, for certain lists, through data gathered via surveys.
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
Calls announcing open nomination periods will appear in the Global Daily News and online as well as CWS 3.0 for all of the lists included below. General deadlines are listed below but are subject to change.
For the following lists, we solicit nominations and then choose honorees based on those nominations.
Please see each list description for eligibility. For the staffing professional lists, nominees could be in any role if they are in the workforce solutions ecosystem — the center of which is staffing — for example, managing a branch or handling compliance in an online staffing platform, she or he could be a lawyer or operate an MSP, or she or he could be a consultant. With the exception of the DE&I Influencers list, no vendors to the industry, please. For the CW Program Game Changers list, nominees are buyers of staffing services or solutions — employed by the buyer organization.
We are looking for those who have gone above and beyond to ensure the success of their teams, branches, brands, events or products. Nominations are welcome from all quarters of the ecosystem. If you think someone on your team is deserving of the applicable recognition, recommend them by completing the online nomination form and outline why they should make the roster, including the impact they have already made, what revenue they have been responsible for or other quantifiable justification for their nomination. No resumes please. You are welcome to nominate as many people as you’d like! Self-nominations are also welcome but please do provide the requisite information.
Learn what makes for a more effective nomination.
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Influencers — US and Canada list honors people who have made an impact in diversity, equity and inclusion within the workforce ecosystem. It is open to individuals across the ecosystem: People from staffing firms, buyers of staffing services, VMS/MSP/RPO providers, talent platforms and vendors to the industry can all be nominated.
Nominations can come from within the nominee’s company or externally. The selection committee will be looking for
- Influence on the ecosystem
- Degree of impact
- Repeatability/scalability of efforts made
- Presence of a coherent methodology
- Level of innovation
- Persistence — more credit goes to those who have been at this for a while as opposed to those who began this year
- End results will matter
The list of Influencers is published in the May/June issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine and their profiles are available online.
Deadlines: Nominations for 2024 are closed.

The CW Program Game Changers list is a tribute to those individuals around the world who are taking contingent workforce management to the next level. To qualify, the nominee MUST be an employee of the buyer/enterprise organization; for example, a VP of HR sponsoring the program, an individual in the finance department responsible for program compliance, head of talent acquisition accountable for managing the contingent workforce or a procurement guru whose team handles the staff augmentation and statement-of-work contracts. The nominee can be in a different role from those mentioned above but should be impacting his or her company’s CW program in some quantifiable way. (Consultants on assignment or MSP/VMS program office personnel are NOT eligible.)
While we encourage individuals to nominate themselves or their peers for consideration, we welcome nominations from all corners of the ecosystem. We encourage providers to submit client candidates whom they feel demonstrate true innovation and authentic partnership.
The nomination must include nominee’s name, title, company name, email address and phone number. Include your own contact information as well. It should include a brief description of the program, including scope and mission statement if available.

A nominee should be in a leadership role or position of influence in staffing — for example, the owner of a niche staffing firm or an executive handling compliance in an online staffing platform.

The list typically includes (but is not limited to) entrepreneurs who have created new and lasting models, CEOs who run large workforce solutions companies — both public and private — individuals who have had major impact or influence through M&A, or by leading the charge through legislative change.
