PrO Unlimited is a $150 million company that addresses contingent workforce management and compliance issues for a diverse range of companies throughout the U.S. The Supplier Recognition Award Program was recently established by the company, to recognize superior performance among staffing suppliers and consulting services firms contracted to support PrO's Fortune 1000 client base. The winning suppliers were cited for achieving the highest customer service rankings on PrO Unlimited's 30-point Supplier Scorecard. These companies consistently deliver excellence in contingent staffing and/or project fulfillment across multiple PrO clients.
Hall Kinion and Associates, Inc, based in San Jose, California, was awarded the top honor with the Platinum Partner Award. "Hall Kinion has gone above and beyond any expectations of what a strong and reliable partner can be," said Terrie Weinand, Executive Vice President of PrO Unlimited.
