Listed firms have proven their commitment to equity and advancement for their female employees
PORTLAND, Ore., March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClearlyRated®, the leading provider of client, talent, and employee satisfaction surveys and service quality research for staffing agencies, announced the firms that have qualified for inclusion on its fourth annual Best Staffing Firms for Women™ list on ClearlyRated.com.
"I'm proud to recognize the companies honored on this year's Best Staffing Firms for Women list," said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated. "During Women's History Month, it's especially meaningful to spotlight organizations that are actively investing in the success and advancement of women in the workplace. While the industry continues to navigate challenges such as pay equity and leadership representation, these firms are setting a powerful example by creating supportive environments where women can thrive and grow. Congratulations to each of these organizations, and thank you for your continued dedication to building a more equitable future for the workforce."
Staffing and recruiting firms that conducted internal employee surveys with ClearlyRated are eligible to earn the Best of Staffing® award in the Employee Satisfaction category. Within this category, firms that included identity-based demographic survey questions and met additional criteria related to female employee Net Promoter® Score (eNPS) and representation earned the prestigious designation as a member of the Best Staffing Firms for Women list.
More than 80 staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada participated in the Best of Staffing internal employee survey for the 2026 award year, growing the ClearlyRated survey database to become the largest repository of internal employee responses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the staffing industry. Some of the notable findings from ClearlyRated’s internal staffing employee data analysis include the following:
- Women comprise 67% of all internal positions at staffing firms, yet half of directors and two thirds of executives are men.
- Women working at staffing firms are:
- 44% more likely to be detractors of their firms.
- 49% less likely to feel they are compensated fairly.
- 31% less likely to believe advancement is merit-based.
Fewer than 0.1% of staffing firms in the United States and Canada qualified to earn the Best Staffing Firms for Women designation, making this a prestigious recognition for staffing firms seeking to hire and retain top internal talent.
