YUPRO Placement Named a Best Staffing Firm for Women in ClearlyRated’s Inaugural Award

The award recognizes firms dedicated to supporting women in staffing

BOSTON, Massachusetts —July 06, 2023 — YUPRO Placement, the nation’s leading skills-first talent placement firm, has earned a spot on ClearlyRated’s 2023 Best Staffing Firms for Women™ List. This inaugural award recognizes staffing firms that have proven their commitment to the equity and advancement of their female employees. 

YUPRO Placement invests in and empowers women in a number of ways including supporting them through leadership development programs, paying for them to attend industry events, and nominating them for key industry and leadership awards. YUPRO Placement also ensures at least 50% of its DEI Council members are women, and its entire senior leadership team is comprised of women. 

“We strive for a ‘we’ culture that values solid contributions and potential versus pedigree and positional power,” shares Michelle Sims, CEO of YUPRO Placement.  “I appreciate ClearlyRated for its commitment to building bridges to inclusion through recognizing great places for women to shine, and I am proud of our passionate team of female leaders for their role in earning this recognition.”

ClearlyRated’s Best Staffing Firms for Women™ List launched this year and was created to serve as a beacon to talented women in staffing. The organization believes now is the right time to shine a light on the importance of women in the workforce. Fewer than 0.2% 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.

“I’m honored to recognize the outstanding achievements of the companies on the first-ever Best Staffing Firms for Women™ list,” stated Eric Gregg, CEO of ClearlyRated. “This designation represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to address gender disparities in the workplace. The recognized firms have demonstrated a genuine commitment to fostering inclusive and empowering environments for women. By setting a positive example, they are helping to reshape the staffing industry and pave the way for a more equitable future.”
