To celebrate their top performers’ exceptional growth and sales achievements during a year marked by continuous strategic adaptation and innovation, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce the annual winners of their President’s Circle Award.

This year, PrideStaff Gulfport/Hattiesburg were named President’s Circle Award winners for being top producers in revenue and profits in 2024. Gary Carmichael and the entire PrideStaff Gulfport/Hattiesburg teams were recognized 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.

When asked about this remarkable achievement, Gary Carmichael, Owner/Strategic-Partner of the PrideStaff Gulfport/Hattiesburg offices, was quick to recognize his team’s collective effort. “I am so honored to accept this award on behalf of my incredible team. This recognition reflects their hard work, dedication, and resilience—qualities they bring to the table every single day,” said Carmichael. “In a year filled with change, our team remained focused on building strong partnerships and creating adaptable solutions to support our clients’ quickly evolving needs.”

Carmichael also credited PrideStaff’s support, adding, “Being part of PrideStaff gives us access to cutting-edge technology, industry-leading processes, and an unmatched reputation for excellence. These resources empower us to deliver outstanding results and exceptional service to both our clients and candidates. Our Mission to ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most’ is at the core of everything we do, and we’re excited to reach even greater heights in 2025, with our sights set on another year in the President’s Circle.”

“We are thrilled to recognize Gary and the entire PrideStaff Gulfport/Hattiesburg teams for exceeding their growth and profitability goals over the past year,” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Tammi Heaton. “Their steadfast dedication to Our Mission, combined with PrideStaff’s industry-leading technology and resources, played a key role in driving PrideStaff Gulfport/Hattiesburg’s remarkable success in a year marked by economic uncertainty. We couldn’t be prouder of what Gary and the team achieved in 2024, and we look forward to seeing their continued momentum and success next year and well into the future.”
