StevenDouglas Garnishes an Array of Awards, including Forbes Recognition, and is Expanding Aggressively While Helping Companies and Candidates Relocate to Florida.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- StevenDouglas, a national search and interim resources firm established in 1984, has received a number of awards and recognitions in the first half of 2021. The firm was recognized by the 2021 Forbes Recruiting Industry Awards in May 2021 as one of America's best Executive Search Firms. This prestigious honor is based on over 26,000 nominations, the Executive Search list only awards the top 1% of all the companies considered nationwide for the recognition.

StevenDouglas was also ranked as the #1 firm headquartered in Florida and the #2 firm based in the Southeastern United States on Hunt Scanlon's Top 50 Executive Search Firms in America for a third year in a row. This announcement comes in tandem with the StevenDouglas once again being named the #1 Executive Search Firm in South Florida by the South Florida Business Journal.

2021 is turning into one of the best years in the 37 year history of the company. A confluence of factors are contributing to this success including the historic rebound in the economy, the migration of companies and people to the firm's largest market (Florida), and the leadership of the firm deciding to lean into the downturn and take advantage of a sudden availability of highly talented and experienced recruiting and sales talent. In the second half of 2020 and in early 2021, the firm dramatically increased their staff in many of their key markets including Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Jacksonville, New York, New Jersey, Minneapolis, and DC. StevenDouglas is building these collaborative teams in key regions across America where the firm already has a presence and is getting ready to announce new offices in two of the hottest markets in the country.

"We are feeling very fortunate to have had the foresight and the financial fortitude to not only be able to retain all of our staff during the COVID induced recession, but to attract incredible talent in most of our key markets," says President, Matt Shore. He went on to say, "Due to our investment in new people, we were better prepared to handle the unprecedented demand for talent, especially in the State of Florida where we are seeing historic migration of major companies and candidates from other major cities."

The result has been an 87% increase in revenue for the search side of the business through May and the IT Staffing and Interim Resources businesses are up over 40% YTD. The biggest challenge in the business today is keeping up with incredible surge in new clients and the war for talent that has ensued from the quick turnaround in the market, especially in hot areas like Technology, Finance and Accounting, Operations, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing and Human Resources. It is the best of times, all of a sudden, and StevenDouglas has big plans for continued expansion and is actively hiring more talent and opening new markets.
