CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Staff Management | SMX, a leading on-site and contingent workforce management staffing partner for manufacturing, fulfillment and distribution facilities, today announced that they have won ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing® Client Award for the fourth consecutive year. Fewer than 2 percent of all staffing agencies in the U.S. and Canada have earned the ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Award for service excellence.

ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Award is the only one in the U.S. and Canada based entirely on client ratings. ClearlyRated (formerly known as Inavero), surveyed clients that partnered with Staff Management | SMX in the last six months, with clients rating their experience with the company’s on-site and contingent workforce management services, as well as areas such as timeliness in responding to issues, submission of candidates, culture fit, ability to meet timetables and expectations.

“Genuine, measurable client satisfaction is the foundation of Staff Management |SMX, and a commitment that our people bring to every opportunity to meet our clients’ needs,” said Jerry Wimer, senior vice president and general manager of Staff Management | SMX. “We are grateful to our clients for giving us valuable data that will help us continue our drive for the highest levels of satisfaction, integration and engagement.”

Clients cited customer service, attention to detail, safety, operational integration and staff, and engagement as specific areas of Staff Management | SMX leadership. The company received satisfaction scores of nine or 10 out of 10 from more than half of their clients, significantly higher than the industry average of 35 percent. On average, clients of providers that win the award are more than twice as likely to be completely satisfied with the services provided compared to clients of providers that did not win.

"In today’s historically tight labor market, hiring managers, procurement professionals, and HR managers need a clear and reputable way to vet potential staffing and recruiting partners,” said ClearlyRated CEO Eric Gregg. “Best of Staffing Client winners have set themselves apart from the competition by demonstrating their commitment to client service, investing in a survey and feedback program that brings transparency to the client experience at their firm.”
