PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce that its Central Valley offices placed first in the 2024 Best of Central Valley Business Readers’ Choice Awards by The Business Journal. This is the 10th consecutive win for PrideStaff in the Best Employment Service category.

Now in its 11th year, the Best of Central Valley Business Readers’ Choice Awards program celebrates local companies that make a difference in the community. The Business Journal readers submitted approximately 141,000 votes for the winners in 40 categories. The competition was tight; sometimes, only a few votes separated the winners and finalists. Around 250 people gathered at Pardini’s in Fresno to celebrate the winners.

“Being voted the Best Employment Service by The Business Journal readers for the past decade is humbling. We pride ourselves on helping people find work, connecting employers with the talent they need, and ensuring each person we interact with has a positive experience with PrideStaff,” said Blanca Covarrubias, Owner/Strategic-Partner of PrideStaff Visalia. “We look forward to continuing Our Mission to ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most’.”
