Press Release

PrideStaff, a national, franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce that Senior Vice President John-Reed McDonald was named one of Staffing Industry Analysts' 2018 "40 Under 40" list of up-and-coming staffing industry leaders. This prestigious list honors trailblazers who have rapidly achieved remarkable success in an ever-evolving workforce ecosystem.

John-Reed joined PrideStaff in 2007 as a Vice President - Field Consultant. In this role, he developed new sales processes for the PrideStaff system, assisted PrideStaff's COO in creating a three-week training program for all newly opened PrideStaff offices, and was responsible for managing the profitability and growth of his assigned offices. In 2011, he was promoted to Senior Vice President and became a member of PrideStaff’s executive team. He currently also serves on PrideStaff's Brand Advisory Council, providing direction to help shape the organization's future.

"We were thrilled to learn that our colleague and friend John-Reed was named to SIA's '40 Under 40' list of staffing industry leaders," said PrideStaff COO Tammi Heaton. "His hard work, innovation and leadership have helped shape several advances of the PrideStaff system, while earning our organization coveted spots on SIA’s list of the Top 100 Largest U.S. Staffing Firms five times, and on SIA’s Fastest-Growing U.S. Staffing Firms in 2015 and 2016.

"Though John-Reed has quickly assembled an admirable record of success, he is not content to rest on his laurels," continued Heaton. "Each day, he shares his passion and industry insights with our team, works hard to ensure PrideStaff's continued growth, and lives out our corporate mission to 'consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most.'"

The success of PrideStaff's approach is evident, as they consistently rank among the highest 1% of staffing firms in the industry. According to Inavero, 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.
