Further, women must comprise at least 47% of the workforce, be highly represented in leadership roles, and rate the firm highly.
“Being recognized as a part of ClearlyRated’s Best Staffing Firms for Women list for the fourth consecutive year is something we’re incredibly proud of," said Heather Croke, Chief People Officer at Medicus. "Great workplaces are built by great people. This recognition reflects the women across Medicus who are shaping our culture, leading our teams, and helping our company move forward every day.”
Fewer than 0.1% of staffing firms in the United States and Canada qualified for the Best Staffing Firms for Women designation, making it a prestigious recognition for firms seeking to hire and retain talent.
"I'm proud to recognize the companies honored on this year's Best Staffing Firms for Women list," said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated. "During Women's History Month, it's especially meaningful to spotlight organizations that are actively investing in the success and advancement of women in the workplace.
