At Partners Personnel, we believe meaningful opportunities often begin with a connection. A friend tells a friend about an open position. A former coworker shares a referral link. A community member connects someone they know with their local branch.
One introduction can lead to a new job, a stronger workforce, and new possibilities for both people and organizations. That’s why being named a 2026 Network Impact Award Best in Class Winner for Light Industrial by Staffing Referrals means so much to us.
The Network Impact Award recognizes staffing firms across three categories for the impact of their referral networks. Partners Personnel was named a Best in Class winner, recognizing firms that successfully leverage their networks and place a significant percentage of referral candidates into jobs. This award is based on comprehensive data collected through the Staffing Referrals platform.
Behind the recognition are thousands of people choosing to connect someone they know with Partners Personnel. Last year alone, we received 44,190 referrals, including those made through Staffing Referrals, demonstrating the reach of these connections and the trust people place in us to connect others with meaningful work.
That level of engagement doesn’t happen on its own. It’s supported by an ongoing commitment from teams across Partners Personnel. Jenny Busch, Recruiting Platform and Project Manager at Partners Personnel, shares what she values most about how Staffing Referrals supports the referral process.
“I love how Staffing Referrals integrates with our ATS to automate the process. It removes much of the effort involved in managing our referral network, allowing branch teams to focus on promoting the program and helping qualified referrals get to work faster,” said Jenny.
For Erin Foschetti, Executive Vice President & Managing Partner at Partners Personnel, the program’s success goes beyond the technology. It comes from the culture and collaboration built around it.
“Staffing Referrals gave us a great platform, but the real magic happens because our training team, projects team, and field teams show up together every day to bring this tool to life for our associates,” said Erin. “It’s proof that our associates believe in what we’re doing enough to bring their friends and family along with them. That’s the best kind of growth there is.”
As our referral network continues to grow, we know its potential to make an impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we’re so proud of this recognition and grateful to everyone who continues to put their trust in Partners Personnel.
