ECLARO Earns 2026 Best of Staffing Client & Talent Awards

Everywhere you turn this week, the talk is about winners, whether it’s the athletes going for gold in the Olympics or the Seahawks and Patriots battling for Super Bowl supremacy. It’s also a great time to pause and ponder what it takes to earn a spot on the podium or to raise a trophy, and to reflect on what winning really means.

At ECLARO, we’re deeply honored to share that we’ve once again been recognized with the 2026 Best of Staffing® awards for both Client and Talent, presented by ClearlyRated. We’re also proud to continue our streak as a Best of Staffing Client 5-Year Diamond Award honoree, recognizing firms that have maintained superior service ratings for at least five consecutive years.

Celebrating this recognition feels less like a moment for a victory lap and more like time for a thank-you note. A thank-you to the clients who trust us with their business, the candidates who bring their talents and career dreams to us, and the ECLARO team whose dedication drives everything we do.

“Our clients and candidates are the heart of this,” says ECLARO Co-Founder Paul Sheridan. “Every day, they inspire us to listen carefully, work harder and go the extra mile. Their partnership is the reason this recognition is possible, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

Now in its 16th year, ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing® is “the nation’s only service excellence award for the staffing industry that leverages third-party validated survey responses from both clients and job seekers.” The program sets objective benchmarks for service quality, shining a light on the firms that deliver exceptional experiences in an increasingly competitive field.

“It’s an honor to announce the recipients of the 2026 Best of Staffing award,” said ClearlyRated CEO Baker Nanduru. “These outstanding firms distinguish themselves through unwavering dedication to exceptional service and delivering remarkable client results. They represent the pinnacle of professionalism, and I am proud to celebrate their impressive accomplishments. Congratulations on raising the bar for the entire industry!”

That spirit of striving for excellence, of going above and beyond for clients and job seekers while staying grounded in relationships, is what continues to guide us, as it has from ECLARO’s very beginning.

“For over 25 years, our goal has been to connect people and opportunity in meaningful ways,” says ECLARO Co-Founder Tom Sheridan. “These results remind us that when we stay true to that purpose, good things follow. It’s a reflection of trust, and that’s the most important win of all.”

According to ClearlyRated’s latest survey data, clients of the winners are 50% more likely to report complete satisfaction with the services provided, compared to the industry average. Similarly, candidates placed by these organizations experience 60% more satisfaction than the industry average.

To everyone who’s been part of our journey, thank you. Whether you’re a client, a candidate or a colleague, this honor belongs as much to you as it does to us. You remind us each day of the philosophy that drives all we do: the Right People are the Answer.
