At Harvey Nash USA we'll be celebrating the annual National Staffing Employee Week, Sept 9 – 15, in partnership with the American Staffing Association. National Staffing Employee Week was established with the sole purpose of celebrating and honoring the millions of temporary and contract employees that make up the contract workforce. This year we’ll specifically be spotlighting our #staffingstars from each of the four Harvey Nash USA markets. Each of which have been awarded the Contractor of the Year award for their market, which entails criteria such as a rigorous selection process that is based on client feedback and recommendations! To kick things off, take a moment to explore their short highlights below and make sure to follow along over the course of the week to see their full highlights and backstories. Meet Jody Amable As a Digital Content Editor, Jody utilizes a unique blend of skills, attention to detail, and creativity to contribute to the team's success. Since the very beginning, her performance has exceeded all initial expectations. Her dedication is well-recognized and acknowledged by her managers and colleagues. Millions of active Pocket Application users consume her work daily. Her aesthetic touch ensures that each article from publications such as WIRED, Vanity Fair, the Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, and Collectors Weekly is exceptionally edited and uses the unified style of visualizations over which she has creative authority. Jody was very hesitant about choosing between job opportunities she interviewed for, as initially, she was not entirely convinced that the recruitment process would lead to an actual hire. Taking the chance paid off, and Jody secured a fulfilling job where she exceeded all expectations as one of the strongest performers. Nominated by Charlotte Nygaard – Lead Recruitment Account Manager and Tom Wojtowicz – Senior Technical Recruiter When asked what winning this award means to Jody, she shared: When Tom first contacted me, I was coming off an unfortunate job experience. I'll admit, I was initially wary of Tom's initial message about a job that sounded right up my alley but seemed way too good to be true. But it was true! It was so refreshing to work with a down-to-earth person who gave me guidance and coaching through the interview process and genuinely seemed to believe in me. Those same values are apparent at [client], too, and I appreciate that Harvey Nash seeks out companies that value their workers, trust their experience and expertise, and treat them with respect. Meet James Youngman James is a Supplier Performance Engineer for one of our largest US manufacturing clients.

His client manager shared the following feedback on his experience working with James - “James has been an exemplary employee since joining our team. Even though James’ background was not in manufacturing, but rather teaching and coaching, his work ethic and ability to build lifelong relationships is all he needed to be successful. Through James tenure, he has rebuilt countless supplier relationships and helped pave the way for our company to be successful. Prior to coming to the company, James never had a passport, but when asked to travel to Europe and Mexico, James received his passport and has visited several suppliers and facilities to help teach the foundational principles to employees and suppliers. James quickly gained the support of company employees and senior level management employees as well as executive leaders at our suppliers. James’s willingness to learn complex tasks quickly and formulate innovative solutions has been the pinnacle of his success. We are excited to have James on our team and appreciate all the work he continues to do for us.” Nominated by Morgan Morris – Client Delivery Manager When asked what winning this award means to James, he shared: This nomination means a great deal to me, as I take my job/career very seriously and I am very grateful to Harvey Nash and our client for putting their faith in me by providing this tremendous opportunity for me and my family.
