ATLANTA (September 8, 2020) — Rural Sourcing has once again been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the country by the National Association for Business Resources. Rural Sourcing has received the prestigious award three times, most recently earlier this year when it was recognized for building a transparent and collaborative culture at its six development centers across the U.S.
With a commitment to creating high-quality technology jobs in the U.S., Rural Sourcing’s purpose-driven focus is bridging the Digital Divide for technology professionals living in Middle America. And others have taken notice, with Rural Sourcing having received multiple workplace awards at both the local and national level.
“The talented group of colleagues we’ve assembled here is second to none,” said Monty Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing. “Over the past two years, Rural Sourcing has continued to grow as companies have turned to us for the resiliency and safety of our onshore software development model. Our commitment to people lies at the center of our success. I’m proud of our team’s dedication to client service, to each other, and to our communities during what has been a challenging year for so many.”
With over 20 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) have identified numerous best Human Resource practices and provided benchmarking for companies that continue to be leaders in employment standards.
“Through the first half of 2020, the Best and Brightest Companies To Work For have demonstrated leadership and forward thinking as they pivoted their business and workforce through Covid-19. As the conversation and focus has shifted, our Best and Brightest winning companies have also been a voice for important actions regarding Race. It is in these unique times, the Best and Brightest Companies To Work For excel and share their knowledge with others” said Jennifer Kluge, President and CEO, Best and Brightest Programs.
The 2020 Summer National winning companies were assessed by an independent research firm which reviewed a number of key measures relative to other nationally recognized winners, and are not ranked. The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation Winners will be honored during dual virtual Illuminate Business Summit weeks in October, 2020 and February, 2021.
