Updated on: Aug 28, 2026
Frontline Source Group was named to Staffing Industry Analysts' list of Best Staffing Firms to Work For in 2022, a recognition based on confidential engagement surveys of each firm's own employees. The award reflects the culture behind the firm's results: 5,619 plus completed placements since 2004, a 98.94% executive placement retention rate, and the 5-Year Placement Warranty on direct hires.
Since that 2022 recognition, Frontline Source Group has continued to be named a Forbes Best Professional Recruiting Firm for 9 consecutive years (2018 to 2026, ranked #158 in 2026) and Forbes Best Executive Recruiting Firms #148 (2026), a 9-time ClearlyRated Best of Staffing winner for both Client and Talent satisfaction, a ClearlyRated Diamond Award recipient, an Inc. 5000 honoree, and an Expertise.com Best Staffing Agency. The firm is a member of the American Staffing Association (ASA), holds a 5.0 star Trustpilot rating across 683 plus verified reviews, and operates 32 plus offices nationwide. The full list is maintained on the staffing awards page.
What is the SIA Best Staffing Firms to Work For award?
Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), founded in 1989 and a division of Crain Communications Inc., is a global research and advisory firm covering staffing and workforce solutions. Its Best Staffing Firms to Work For program recognizes staffing companies whose own employees rate them highly on engagement, and it is one of the few staffing industry awards judged by the people inside the firm rather than by clients, revenue, or growth.
How are the Best Staffing Firms to Work For selected?
In 2022, close to 300 firms sought participation in the program, which SIA conducted in conjunction with Quantum Workplace. Internal employees at each participating firm completed an online survey that measured key engagement categories, including teamwork, trust in senior leaders, diversity and inclusion, manager effectiveness, and compensation and benefits. Firms were recognized based on those employee responses, and key findings from the survey results were published in SIA's industry research.
Why does an employee-judged award matter to clients and candidates?
Recruiter turnover is one of the biggest hidden costs of working with a staffing agency: when the recruiter who understands your search leaves, the search starts over. A firm whose internal team rates it highly on trust in leadership and manager effectiveness tends to keep its recruiters, which means clients work with the same people over multiple searches and candidates get a recruiter who knows the market. That continuity is part of why Frontline Source Group can stand behind a 98.94% executive placement retention rate and a 5-Year Placement Warranty.
What did SIA and Frontline Source Group say about the 2022 recognition?
The announcement was made in March 2022 alongside the full list of honorees. Both organizations commented on what the recognition reflects.
What did SIA's president say about the 2022 winners?
"Congratulations to all of the Best Staffing Firm winners for an excellent job in a challenging environment," said Barry Asin, SIA President at the time. "As we have seen time and again, building a high-performing culture is critical to the long-term success of staffing firms. These firms have demonstrated the ability to develop and maintain a strong and positive culture where employees can do their best work."
What did Bill Kasko say about the recognition?
"It's an honor for our growing team to be recognized among our industry leaders as a top place to work," said Bill Kasko, Founder, President, and CEO of Frontline Source Group. "We take pride in fostering a work environment that is inclusive and allows career growth."
How does the culture behind the award show up for clients?
Frontline Source Group's trademark motto is People. Process. Service. The order is deliberate: the firm invests in its own recruiters first, runs a consistent search process second, and measures itself on client and candidate service third. That is the same culture ClearlyRated has recognized nine times through its Best of Staffing Client and Talent awards, which are also based on satisfaction surveys, and it is visible in the firm's public client feedback on the testimonials page.
