Awarded in partnership with presenting sponsor CareerBuilder, and gold sponsors Indeed and Glassdoor, ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Award winners have proven to be industry leaders in service quality, based entirely on ratings provided by their clients.

Created by feefo, the Trusted Service Award is presented only to businesses that use feefo to collect genuine reviews and insights. Businesses meeting the high standard, based on the number of reviews they have collected and their average rating, receive the award. A highly-valued badge of approval, this accreditation remains unique, as it is based purely on the interactions with real customers. As all reviews are verified as genuine, the accreditation is a true reflection of a business’s commitment to outstanding service.

Paul Polito, President, Commercial Staffing (US) for Staffing 360 Solutions, said that “In what has been one of the most challenging environments to find top talent in the past 20 years, I am extremely proud that our Monroe Staffing and Key Resources employees continue to deliver this excellent award-winning level of service to our clients.

“The Monroe team’s ability to consistently provide outstanding service earned both our first Diamond level award, as well as the highest Net Promoter Score in our history. I’m delighted that our talented Key Resources team earned its first Best of Staffing Client Award. I thank all of our Monroe and Key clients for trusting us to fulfill their staffing needs, and we intend to deliver similar results in this upcoming year,” concluded Polito.

Brendan Flood, Chairman and CEO of Staffing 360 Solutions, added that “The fact that our team at CBSbutler continues its laser focus to fill our clients’ needs was just one of many reasons it was recognized with its first Platinum Trusted Service Award. I’m honored and gratified that the Lighthouse Professional Services and Key Resources teams have been distinguished for the first time by ClearlyRated for their unwavering commitment to deliver excellent customer service. I’m also pleased to acknowledge the first Diamond Award achievement for Monroe Staffing, a ClearlyRated Best of Staffing partner for the last five years.”
