Jay Bevilacqua, CEO, TekPartners


What does winning the Best of Staffing 10 Year Diamond Award for Client Satisfaction meant to you and the TekPartners team?

Jay: Winning this award demonstrates that we are staying true to our commitment to give our talent the best possible experience each time they work with us. It is always our goal to provide superior service to each candidate we work with, so seeing the overwhelmingly positive survey responses is a sign that we are in sync with our talent. We take the feedback we receive very seriously and have used those comments to improve our services, continuously honing our processes to meet the changing demands of the marketplace. Winning this award shows that we doing our best and adhering to our Core Values, as well as our mission to help connect the right people with the right jobs so both our talent and our clients can succeed.

What does it take to maintain such a high level of excellence for such a long time?

Jay: It takes a great leadership team, a collaborative environment, and the ability to pivot and adapt when things change. We have weathered an enormous amount of changes in just the last few years, and it was all possible thanks to our team’s ability to harness strategic thinking and a persevering attitude toward the challenges we’ve met along the way. Our company is rooted in the idea of “people helping people” and that’s what it all comes down to – maintaining a focus on helping each person we work with by putting them foremost as we strive to place them.

What’s an important lesson that you’ve learned from participating in Best of Staffing for so many years?

Jay: It’s important to be open to change and to accept all comments, both positive and negative, with grace. Even the occasional negative comment or review can be a learning experience for our team and help us improve our service. Being open to taking that feedback and utilizing it to create positive change is essential to surviving and adapting in our industry. There is always room to grow and change for the better, so keeping an open mind and building on past success is an important part of creating future success.

Were there any surprises along the way?

Jay: The pandemic was certainly a surprise! Any journey this long will have its ups and downs, but the last few years were highly unusual. Our industry definitely saw a great deal of change, but we worked to build deeper relationships with our clients and talent, seizing opportunities as they arose. While it may have been rocky for a little while in some ways, we always knew that the build back was going to be better than the set back. The one thing that came out of all of this is that we all learned to work in a different way, and we got a little closer from working further apart. We have been able to provide life-changing opportunities for our talent as well as for our own employees as a result.

What advice would you give to someone about to participate in Best of Staffing for the first time?

Jay: Be open to the feedback. Take both the good and bad responses to heart, but don’t dwell on it either. You can learn something from each response in order to improve services and processes for next time. Being able to have this insight into your talent’s thoughts on your company is an invaluable tool, so take advantage of that in order to work toward improving and refining your processes along the way.

Do you have any exciting plans for showing off your 10 Year Diamond Award?

Jay: We proudly display our awards in our lobby for everyone to see as they come into our headquarters, so we are looking forward to adding this one to a place of honor. We also featured the award in a press release and on our social media.

Is there anything we haven’t covered that you’d like to share?

Jay: This award means a lot to us as an organization because it shows how we measure up against other organizations in the industry. We want to be a top provider of IT staffing for both our clients and consultants and consistently provide superior service by going above and beyond the competition. This award not only shows us what we are doing right, but helps drive us toward greater achievements in the future.
