About the Diversity-Owned Staffing Firms

Diversity-Owned Staffing Firms

The Diversity-Owned Staffing Firms list features staffing firms in the US and Canada serving a variety of segments. 

One key difference in this year’s list compared to prior years’ is that proof of third-party certification was required to appear on the list. Certifications were required to be valid as of March 2024 for the 2024 list  update.

Information on the firms is self-reported based on surveys. Each firm was invited to list the one or two top segments from which they derived the majority of their revenue or ranked as their largest segments in terms of revenue. The segments refer to the types of workers supplied and reflect a high-level view; segments were chosen from a standardized list.
