Despite Economy, Local Firm Reports $26M in Revenue and 700% Organic Growth
CHICAGO, IL January 27, 2012 – Despite the poor economy and unemployment at 8.5%, LaSalle Network, Chicago’s top provider of staffing and recruiting services, posted a 30% increase in year-over-year revenue. This increase marks the company’s tenth year of double-digit growth and will enable LaSalle Network to expand into additional markets.
Founded in 1998 by Founder and CEO, Tom Gimbel, LaSalle Network has been able to maintain a network of clients with consistent staffing needs, regardless of the current job market. While concentrating in service and execution in the areas of finance, technology, human resources, administrative and customer service, LaSalle Network has experienced thirteen years of organic growth, undergoing no acquisitions or layoffs in that time. Since inception, the firm has also maintained the same private ownership without any private equity or venture backing.
“To grow at all in this economic climate is rare, much less to grow 30 percent,”says Gimbel, “As the job market continues to trend upwards and unemployment hits levels we haven’t seen in three years, LaSalle has the opportunity to become a real game changer in the staffing industry.”
This past year, LaSalle Network’s range of acknowledgements include being named as a Winning Workplaces and Inc. Magazine’s “Top Small Company Workplace,” Staffing Industry Analysts “Best Staffing Firms to Work For” and earning a spot on the “Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America” list for the fifth year running. Maintaining its rank as one of the fastest growing staffing and recruiting firms in Illinois, LaSalle Network expects to see substantial growth continue into 2012. The company is currently hiring more recruiters to meet the demands of their clients.
