The President’s Circle Award recognizes top-performing offices within the PrideStaff network that demonstrate exceptional growth, financial strength, and operational excellence.

Led by Owners/Strategic-Partners John Gemrich & Jeff Huston the PrideStaff Cincinnati (East) and Cincinnati (Northwest) offices earned the recognition by combining disciplined execution with a strong focus on client service and candidate quality. Throughout 2025, the team expanded its support of local employers, helping businesses hire faster, reduce disruption, and maintain consistent service levels in a competitive labor market.
