Pawtucket-based American Partners Inc. – a division of BG Staffing founded in 2007 – is a staff-augmentation company in the business intelligence, performance management and enterprise-resource-planning markets. The firm supports consulting companies, state and local organizations and Fortune 1000 companies across the country.
The company, with expected earnings of $42 million this year, has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in Rhode Island by PBN for four straight years and ranked No. 371 on the 2012 Inc. 500 fastest-growing private companies in America list.
Founder and President Tom Leonard says his growing 24-member team share a passion about what they do and take pride in being the best.
“The recruiting business is one where people often start with a negative association,” Leonard said. “People often think of recruiters as pushy salespeople. I believe that we have set the bar when it comes to both quality and integrity in our industry and we love to change the perception people have.”
Unlike most recruiting companies, Leonard said, American Partners has built long-term, mutually respectful relationships with the people it represents.
“We are in the business of building relationships with people and not just matching talent with jobs,” Leonard said. “American Partners is able to deliver the right candidate – the first time – within 24 to 48 hours. We are able to do so through our strong network of top specialists.”
