SPARKS Wins Inavero's 2014 Best of Staffing Awards
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- SPARKS announced today it has been named as one of Inavero’s 2014 Best of Staffing® Award winners in both the Client and Talent categories. Presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, the fifth annual Best of Staffing Award provides the only statistically valid and objective service quality benchmarks in the industry, revealing which staffing and recruiting firms are delivering the highest satisfaction levels to their clients and contract, temporary and permanent employees for whom they place. Yet again, this year’s award outcome highlights a growing divide among the industry’s leaders and laggards, and identifies SPARKS as one of the best staffing agencies for companies and job candidates to call when they are in need. This is the third year in a row (2012-2014) SPARKS has received this honor in the Client category, and the second year in a row (2013-14) in the Talent category. "I am so proud of our company and the staff that we have representing us,” said Chief Executive Officer Steve Sparks. “Receiving these awards now three and two years consecutively, speaks to the team work, ethical actions and excellent service demonstrated by our entire team.”
Less than two percent of all staffing and recruiting firms in North America receive the Best of Staffing Award for service excellence. Utilizing the Net Promoter® methodology, the 2014 Best of Staffing winners achieved satisfaction scores more than double the industry average. This stark contrast in scores is a clear indication that the firms who have earned the 2014 Best of Staffing Award truly stand out for their service quality. SPARKS received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 51.4 percent of employees placed in contract, temporary or direct hire job opportunities. 68.5 percent of their clients rated them a 9 or 10, compared to just 35 percent for the average staffing agency. “The common mission that we share internally at SPARKS is to create a positive experience for each and every person we encounter,” said President Evette Baker. “We take great pride in representing our industry throughout the Washington, DC marketplace and the Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards further validate our teams’ everyday contributions.”
