ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Staffing Client and Talent 5-Year Gold Awards

4CR earned the 5-Year Gold tier designation in both Best of Staffing categories for 2026. It’s the firm’s 7th consecutive year of dual recognition for service excellence with both clients and placed candidates.


ORLANDO, Fla., May 2026 – 4 Corner Resources (4CR), an Orlando-based staffing and recruiting firm, has been named a winner of ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Staffing Client Award and Best of Staffing Talent Award, earning the 5-Year Gold tier designation in both categories. ClearlyRated announced the 2026 winners on February 3, with 4CR receiving recognition in both categories for the 7th consecutive year.

Best of Staffing is the only U.S. and Canadian award based entirely on third-party Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys of a firm’s actual clients and placed candidates. Winning in both the Client category (rated by hiring companies) and the Talent category (rated by placed candidates) requires the same firm to sustain industry-leading feedback across two distinct audiences. The 5-Year Gold tier, introduced in 2026, recognizes firms that have won in the same category for at least 5 consecutive years.

4CR’s ClearlyRated profile shows a 96.2% client satisfaction rate, with 55 verified client reviews averaging 5 out of 5 stars and 120 verified talent reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5 stars.


Other 2026 Industry Honors for 4CR

The ClearlyRated recognition is one of several major 2026 industry honors for 4CR. The firm has also been named to Forbes’ 2026 lists of America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms and America’s Best Temporary Staffing Firms, where 4CR is the only Orlando-based firm on the temporary staffing list, and recognized on Business Insider’s 2026 list of America’s Top Recruiting Firms.

“Best of Staffing is the only industry recognition built entirely on what our clients and candidates actually say about working with us. Earning the 5-Year Gold designation in both categories for 2026, after 7 consecutive years of Best of Staffing recognition, means our team has consistently delivered for both sides of every placement,” said Pete Newsome, President of 4 Corner Resources.

“It’s an honor to introduce the 2026 Best of Staffing award winners. These companies keep client experience front and center, pushing the envelope in innovative service approaches. Their work is shaping the future of staffing and recruiting, and it’s a privilege to recognize their achievements. Congratulations to all!” said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated.
