Horizontal Talent wins ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards
ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Award winners have proven to be industry leaders in service quality based entirely on ratings provided by their clients, candidates and employees. Fewer than 2% of all staffing agencies in the U.S. and Canada earn the Best of Staffing designation for Client and Talent Satisfaction.
On average, clients and candidates of winning agencies are 55% more likely to be completely satisfied with the services provided compared to those working with non-winning agencies.
Winning ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Client, Employee and Talent award is a humbling honor that I’m extremely proud of. Thank you to our amazing partners who trust us with their job search and hiring needs and thank you to our internal staff who embody our 5 core pillars of collaboration, greater good, integrity, positive energy and hustle day in and day out. Here's to another year of building relationships!– Jeremy Langevin, Co-Founder & CEO, Horizontal Talent
