Mary Kraft, a talent acquisition and management firm, received the Best of Staffing Client Award and the Best of Staffing Talent Award this year from Inavero, which provides service quality research for staffing agencies. Less than 2 percent of staffing agencies in the U.S. and Canada receive Best of Staffing Awards.

“We are so thrilled to have received these very special awards for the second year in a row, and we are definitely on track to work toward our Diamond Awards,” said Lisa Benson, president and CEO of Mary Kraft. Diamond Awards honor firms that have received Best of Staffing Awards for five years in a row.

The Best of Staffing Client Award recognizes exceptional agency service to clients, while the Best of Staffing Talent Award recognizes exceptional agency service to job candidates. Both awards rely on surveys asking the likelihood participants would recommend the agency. Inavero presents the awards in partnership with CareerBuilder on BestofStaffing.com, an online directory of staffing agencies, including Mary Kraft.

“I am so proud of my whole team,” Benson said. “They have not only been successful building wonderful relationships and meeting the needs of our clients, but also—in a very tight market with zero unemployment statistics—they have attracted high quality candidates. My hat is off to all of them.”

Inavero’s Best of Staffing Awards are the only awards in the U.S. and Canada that recognize staffing agencies based completely on the ratings given to them by their clients and talent. Inavero administers over 1.2 million satisfaction surveys each year. The company serves as the American Staffing Association’s exclusive satisfaction survey partner.
