Firms Recognized For Putting People First

Mountain View, California – March 10, 2021 – Winners of the 2021 Best Staffing Firms to Work For awards for North America were announced today by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, during a special Executive Forum North America virtual broadcast with live viewership. The Best Staffing Firms to Work For 2021 awards are sponsored by Sense.

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. The Ōnin Group, a Birmingham-based firm, took the top spot for North American staffing firms with over 500 employees. ALKU was named the leading organization for the second year in a row for firms with 201-500 employees; LiquidAgents Healthcare ranked as first for firms with 51-200 employees; StaffDNA was the top scoring firm for companies with 21- 50 employees; and Aequor Healthcare Services – Travel Nursing was in first position for firms with 10-20 employees. Floyd Lee Locums was again named as the Best Staffing Firm to Temp For Grand Prize Winner, having also been honored last year for a top performance in this category.

“Congratulations to all of the Best Staffing Firm winners on this year’s recognition,” said Barry Asin, SIA President. “From communication and community to new ways of engaging their workforces, these organizations stand out in an especially turbulent year for their ability to keep staff and workers motivated, productive and feeling valued, and for their leadership in putting people first.”  

Close to 250 firms sought participation in the program this year, which was conducted by SIA in conjunction with Quantum Workplace, an Omaha, NE-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, diversity and inclusion, manager effectiveness, compensation and benefits. Key findings from the survey results are covered in SIA’s industry research.

“We are thrilled to congratulate the winners of this year’s awards. Despite facing a tough year with the pandemic these companies showed us the proper way to treat candidates, employees and clients with the utmost respect, care, and appreciation. They are setting the standard for what a staffing firm can and should be by putting their people at the core of their business,” said Anil Dharni, CEO and Co-Founder, Sense. “Sense was created with a mission to ensure staffing stays focused on people by increasing engagement and communication between recruiters and talent across the lifecycle. As such, Sense is honored to highlight the companies that are trailblazers in fostering strong, collaborative, and inclusive workplaces.”

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

A recognition event to the honor the winning firms is also being held as part of the annual Executive Forum North America. The Best Staffing Firms To Work/Temp For website will debut the 2021 winners later this month, and companies are featured in the March/April issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.
