They made the transistion from temporary to permanent employee seamless, for both us and the employee.”

Associations & Awards

SEARCH Group Partners was named to Inavero’s 2014 – 2018 “Best of Staffing®” Client List

For five consecutive years (2014-2018), SEARCH Group Partners was named as one of Inavero’s Best of Staffing® Client Award winners. Presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, the annual Best of Staffing Award provides the only statistically valid and objective service quality benchmarks for the industry, revealing which staffing agencies deliver the highest quality of service to their clients. In a year when the staffing industry’s client service quality scores are trending down once again, the Best of Staffing winners scored well above industry service benchmarks. Less than 2% of all staffing agencies in North America receive the Best of Staffing Award for service excellence utilizing the Net Promoter® methodology. The stark contrast in client satisfaction scores compared to the industry average is a clear indication that the firms who have earned the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 Best of Staffing Client Award truly stand out for their service quality. SEARCH Group Partners received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 84.4% of clients, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 35%.

Search Group Partners and staff are the proud winners of the following awards: 2017 CEO of the Year Award, MountainWest Capital Network’s Utah 100 Awards 2015’s Emerging Elite Companies, Inavero’s Best of Staffing Client Satisfaction Award for five consecutive years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018; 2014 Bronze Stevie® Award in the Young Female Entrepreneur of the Year category for Women in Business; Utah Business Magazine Forty under 40 Award winners; Utah Business Magazine 2013’s 30 Women to Watch and Utah Business Magazine 20 in their 20’s.
