PrideStaff Earns Recognition as One of America's Top Recruiting Firms

PrideStaff, a well-established staffing organization with a franchise model operating nationally, has proudly announced its inclusion in Business Insider's prestigious list of America's Top Recruiting Firms for 2026. This esteemed ranking is the result of a collaboration with the research firm Plant-A Insights Group and showcases the top 750 recruiting firms across the United States for their outstanding performance in areas such as executive search, professional placement, and temporary/contract staffing.

To create this list, over 22,000 hiring managers and job seekers participated in a comprehensive survey evaluating their experiences with more than 4,000 recruiting firms nationwide. The assessment utilized a proprietary scoring model that took into account peer recommendations, satisfaction ratings across key service categories, and third-party validation. Notably, firms that excelled in all three categories—executive, professional, and contract staffing—were highlighted for their comprehensive service excellence.

Tammi Heaton, Co-CEO of PrideStaff, shared her excitement regarding this recognition: "Being named one of America's Top Recruiting Firms by Business Insider is a meaningful achievement for our entire organization. This recognition is particularly rewarding because it's grounded in the voices of both clients and candidates—two groups that are central to our mission. Our teams across the nation work tirelessly to deliver experiences focused on what our clients value most. This honor directly reflects their dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence."

Co-CEO Mike Aprile added, "This award serves as validation of our focus on continuous improvement and local expertise. We are deeply honored to be recognized by Business Insider and remain dedicated to setting the industry standard for excellence."

This accolade comes on the heels of a particularly successful year for PrideStaff, marked by numerous industry accolades.

Additionally, PrideStaff has continued its impressive run on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500® and the Franchise Times® Top 400 list, further solidifying the strength of its franchise model.
