MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Parqa, a digital marketing agency that serves recruiting and staffing firms throughout North America, has hired Jared Hummel to be the company's first-ever Chief Operating Officer. This role was created to provide strategic direction, build scalable systems, and develop partnerships with industry leaders as it continues its rapid growth in the market.
Parqa was started three years ago and transitioned in 2018 to focus its efforts on the staffing and recruiting market, subsequently growing by over 40%. Parqa is the sister company to Versique Search & Consulting and will continue to use its intimate experience with the staffing and recruiting industries to be a market leader in partnering with other firms to grow their brand credibility, online visibility, and lead generation efforts.
Prior to assuming this role, Jared was the VP of Finance for Versique Search & Consulting, where he worked closely with the owners to provide financial and operational leadership to the company's four divisions. Jared has spent his entire career in leadership positions within start-up and high-growth companies, spanning multiple industries including manufacturing, property management, and home services.
"Having spent the last couple of years as a leader in a staffing and recruiting firm that has such a strong focus on marketing and driving growth has taught me a lot about how Parqa can be an asset to other organizations that want to invest in growing their market share," states Hummel. "My job is to tell our story to owners and marketing professionals throughout the industry. Digital marketing as a whole is still so cutting edge and evolving every day. I'm excited to lead a team of innovative and talented individuals to provide value to our staffing and recruiting agency clients. I want to build trust with our clients so they can focus on running their business while we continue to provide strategic direction for their marketing efforts."
Parqa and Versique Search & Consulting CEO Tony Sorensen says, "Having worked closely with Jared in his previous role, I know he is the right person to continue to develop Parqa both internally and externally. Marketing is my passion and I know that there is a huge opportunity in the market to teach, train, and educate other staffing and recruiting firms. With Jared at the helm, we have someone who truly understands the market and the needs of staffing and recruiting businesses. I am excited to see what the future holds for him and our organization."
