Honorees recognized for leading the staffing industry into the future
Cincinnati, OH – February 16, 2018 – BelFlex Staffing Network (BelFlex), a staffing and flexible workforce solutions firm in the commercial sector, announced today that Executive Vice President of Sales Robert (Bob) Baer was named by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) as one of the 100 most influential people in the North American staffing industry. Recipients are recognized for their contributions to making a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of workers and job seekers across the economy.
Baer has been in the staffing industry for over 20 years. In his nine years with BelFlex he has helped grow the company from six offices and $30 million in annual revenue to 28 offices and approximately $130 million in annual revenue. In 2017 he was heavily involved in the acquisition of Premier Staffing in Little Rock, Arkansas, which has experienced such significant growth that a second office was opened on February 14, 2018 in nearby Conway, Arkansas.
Baer is also involved with numerous community service programs including “LIFT the TriState”—a collaborative effort with the Freestore Foodbank, one of Ohio’s largest food banks, to provide unemployed and underemployed adults with the hard and soft skills needed for employment in the warehouse and transportation industries.
“The recognition from SIA is incredibly significant because it really pinpoints what makes staffing and recruiting such a rewarding career—the opportunity to connect people with meaningful and sometimes life-changing opportunities,” said Baer. “At BelFlex, we believe by doing this we are not only benefitting our employees and clients, but the entire community around us. We call this ‘Succeeding Together’.”
