What Do Staffing Clients Value Most? 2020 Client Satisfaction Survey Results

In October 2019, Sparks Group partnered with research satisfaction research firm, ClearlyRated (formerly Inavero), to help us gauge our clients' overall satisfaction with our services. The results of the survey will be used by ClearlyRated in the naming of its Best of Staffing Awards list in February 2020. Sparks Group has achieved Diamond Award status for client service and has been privileged to receive this award every year since 2012. Sparks Group is hopeful to be honored again in 2020.

Sparks Group received 177 responses from its clients with nearly 80% rating us a 9 or 10 out of 10! For comparison, according to ClearlyRated, top brands like Nordstrom and Ritz Carlton experience nearly identical satisfaction scores. Based on the comments Sparks Group received, these were the top items staffing clients valued in a staffing and recruiting partner:

• Excellent client service and overall responsiveness from recruiting, sales, and account management staff
• Quality, professionalism and overall fit of candidates and contract employees
• Rapid time-to fill with top candidates, especially in hard-to-fill positions
