Chicago, Ill., July 28, 2014 – Over the past three years, LaSalle Network, Chicago’s premier provider of professional staffing and recruiting services, increased staff by 50 percent, and today announced its plans to continue that trend. Over the next 18 months, LaSalle Network plans to increase its Illinois-based employee count by 50 percent.
“The jobs market is doing great, and the increased demand for temporary and permanent employees from our clients directly reflects our aggressive, internal hiring plans over the next 18 months,” said Tom Gimbel, Founder and CEO of LaSalle Network.
Founded in 1998 by Gimbel, LaSalle Network specializes in accounting and finance, technology, human resources, marketing, administrative, call center/customer service, and executive-level placements.
Witnessing year-over-year revenue growth and expansion in every area of the business since inception, LaSalle Network most recently posted an 18 percent increase in annual revenue from 2009 through 2013.
“By creating solid partnerships with our clients and candidates, we’ve been able to grow considerably over the past five years,” Gimbel continued. “With our combined old fashioned work ethic and aggressive sales strategy, we expect tremendous growth over the next five years.”
LaSalle Network’s innovative recruiting strategies have enabled them to attract staff. For instance, the local firm recently implemented a recruiting strategy where employees ride the Metra train, speaking to commuters about LaSalle Network’s service offerings and handing out beer, pop and water. Also, LaSalle Network hosts happy hours for candidates as an introduction to the firm.
LaSalle Network has won more than 30 culture and revenue-based awards since inception, continually being recognized among the fastest-growing companies in America and celebrated for its unique corporate practices. Most recently, LaSalle Network was named to Staffing Industry Analysts’ 2014 Fastest Growing Staffing Firms list and Crain’s Chicago Business’ list of 2014 Best Places to Work.
