Got Standout Talent? Nominate Your Staffing Stars

Earn recognition for your firm’s best temporary or contract employees—and leverage that recognition to differentiate your firm in your most competitive markets. Nominate outstanding performers for the National Staffing Employee of the Year program. Entries are due May 2.

The program celebrates temporary and contract employees who exemplify one or more of the industry’s key messages of bridging, flexibility, and access to a new career. Finalists, called “All-Stars,” are also recognized—if merited—in five industry sectors: engineering, information technology, and scientific; health care; industrial; office–clerical and administrative; and professional–managerial. The National Staffing Employee of the Year will be celebrated during Staffing World® 2025, Oct. 6–8 in Orlando; featured in ASA publications; and spotlighted on the ASA website, in national news media outreach, and in social media campaigns.

For complete instructions and an entry form, visit americanstaffing.net/nsey. The National Staffing Employee of the Year and Sector All-Stars program is sponsored by StaffPRO3, a division of PMC Insurance Group.
