Akraya Named #1 Best Staffing Firm to Work for & #1 Best Staffing Firm to Contract for in the US

March 1, 2013 - PRLog -- (Sunnyvale, CA) - Staffing Industry Analysts announced the winner of the 2013 Best Staffing Firms to Work and Contract for survey. Results of the survey, which was sponsored by Monster, was announced at the 22nd annual Staffing Industry Analysts’ Executive Forum in Orlando, Florida. “The award is a testament of each company’s ability to build and encourage a culture focused on attracting and retaining top “talent” said Barry Asin, president of the Staffing Industry Analysts.

Akraya was founded by CEO, Amar Panchal and President, Sonu Ratra in 2001. Having worked in the Silicon Valley technology industry for years, the founders clearly saw a gap between client demand and the service offerings of competitor consulting firms. They believed that with its flexible recruiting model focused on candidate quality, faster response time and competitive rates, Akraya could provide far better services than what was available in the market. Over the years, Akraya’s steady growth and high level of customer and consultant retention rates have validated this belief. Today, Akraya is a preferred staffing and consulting partner to many Fortune 500 enterprises. The company reached $42.3MM in annual revenue in 2012.

“Receiving an award is always an honor but I am especially proud of the Best Staffing Firm to Work For and Best Staffing Firm to Contract For Awards since they were based on feedback from our staff and net-promoter scores from our consultants” said Akraya CEO, Amar Panchal. “Our employees’ loyalty and dedication has been the backbone of Akraya’s success.  We built our company culture on our mantra that “People Come First” and strive to create a corporate environment where people like to come to work every day.  We work hard but also play hard and share a “we are in this together” mentality. These awards provide an important validation that we are on the right path.”
