Experience: Sam spent his early career as a Human Resource Generalist in a manufacturing environment. Experiences in hiring, staffing, and training on the management side gave Sam a unique perspective on these challenges. Therefore, Sam spent a lot of time working with staffing agencies and recruiters.

Then as a Plant Manager and General Manager Sam’s responsibilities included all aspects of running the operations. There is nothing like P&L responsibility to give a true appreciation of how to cost effectively bring someone in from the streets and get them up and running on the production line or in the office. Later as a VP for the division, with staff responsibilities of several factories across the country, Sam learned it takes precise planning and superior execution to make good things happen.

Now Sam sits on the other side of the desk with a true sense of what it is to be the economic decision maker. What challenges do you have with your current staffing effort? How would you like to improve in your hiring flow? With his experience, what can Sam help you with?

The scoop on staffing: Some things always change - the labor market fluctuations for instance. And some things never do - like the rising costs of workers compensation, labor claims and unemployment. At PrideStaff, we anticipate these changes, prepare for them and create solutions that add value for our clients and employees.

What we hear from our clients: You get what you pay for and PrideStaff produces a good return on investment. How do we know PrideStaff is different? Our client and candidates tell us in our PrideStaff quarterly surveys. We ask for feedback for improvements suggestions as well as a rating for satisfaction. This continuous improvement process makes a big difference and has helped PrideStaff to consistently earn Inavero’s Best of Staffing award, where our results are compared with staffing companies across North America! PrideStaff has also been named by Forbes magazine as one of the top 5 leaders in the staffing industry for the last few years!
