FRESNO, Calif. — PrideStaff, a division of The PrideStaff Companies, is pleased to announce the opening of a new staffing and employment agency in north Atlanta. The new office will offer a full range of temporary and direct hire staffing in a variety of light industrial, manufacturing, customer service, clerical, administrative, legal, and other sectors for employers and job seekers throughout the Northern Atlanta area.

“It’s a true honor to expand PrideStaff’s presence into Northern Atlanta where I can best serve the needs of employers and job seekers across my community,” said Carly Burdock, Owner/Strategic-Partner of the Atlanta (North) office. “I love Atlanta. I’ve lived here for more than 20 years. I’ve worked here, taught in the schools here, raised a family here, and am excited to make a new kind of meaningful impact here. I get to harness the power of PrideStaff’s people, technologies, and processes to match opportunities for the businesses that serve our community with the ever-changing career needs of my neighbors.”

“In Atlanta, we treat each other as neighbors. We all hold a bond to take care of each other. It’s an amazing, supportive dynamic,” continued Burdock, “PrideStaff’s goals and solutions are a perfect fit for our area. We’re here to be a good neighbor, to help each member of our community thrive.”

As a national staffing services organization, PrideStaff provides outstanding service and results by removing the guesswork from staffing. The Atlanta (North) office uses this approach to recruit superior candidates for top employers in their market.

The success of PrideStaff’s approach is evident, as they consistently rank among the highest .1% of staffing firms in the industry. According to ClearlyRated, a business intelligence firm specializing in the staffing industry, PrideStaff earned a client Net Promoter^® Score (NPS) as high as or higher than other well-known brands such as Amazon and Netflix. NPS is computed by subtracting a firm’s detractors from its promoters.

FRESNO, Calif. — In recognition of his hard work, positive attitude, and outstanding work ethic, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to name Juan Antonio Ferez Kuri their National Temporary Employee of the Year. This national honor is given to the most exceptional field associate working on assignment through PrideStaff.

This award was presented at PrideStaff’s Annual Conference, an in-person event featuring luminary keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. The conference connected Strategic-Partners from across the country to gain knowledge from industry experts and each other, acquire new perspectives and best practices, and improve their proficiency at owning and operating a full-service staffing firm.

Juan’s journey with PrideStaff began in 2019, when his job ended unexpectedly, less than a year after settling in Arizona. After visiting the Phoenix Metro – East Valley office to fill out an application, he called every few days, even bringing coffee and donuts, determined to find his next job and build his American Dream.

Ann Gilbert, Owner/Strategic-Partner of PrideStaff Phoenix Metro – East Valley and the first member of the Phoenix team to meet Juan Antonio, is proud to have had her life touched by him. “The story of Juan Antonio is one of unbelievable perseverance and courage,” stated Gilbert. “Since his first placement in May 2019, he has worked on four different client assignments, and each client he’s worked with has been wowed by his work ethic and his positive attitude.”

“His work ethic and desire to go above and beyond anything that is asked is a daily inspiration for everyone who has the privilege to work with him,” continued Gilbert. “In moments of personal challenge, like when his wife was battling breast cancer, Juan Antonio’s positivity, professionalism, and ambassadorship of the PrideStaff brand never faltered.”

When interviewed, Juan Antonio expressed his deep gratitude for the PrideStaff team. “When I needed help finding my next job, they were there for me. Over nearly five years, they have always had my back, helping me make sure I can support my family and helping me turn my life into an American success story. I’m deeply grateful to my friends at PrideStaff for making all of this possible.”

“Stellar field associates like Juan Antonio Ferez Kuri are instrumental in helping us live Our Mission to ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most,'” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Mike Aprile. “Juan is so much more than an employee; he’s an ambassador for PrideStaff, someone who reminds us all of the power of hard work, gratitude, and community. His story serves as a wonderful reminder that a strong work ethic and trust in PrideStaff’s proven processes can lead to a rewarding career, a brighter future, and a better community.”
